Members zachg Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have a mint Crate Blue Voodoo BV300HB available for immediate sale in NH. This piece was never gigged with and has under 100 hours of play time on it. It was used in a "basement band" for a short period and simply put, this is MUCH more amp than I need. I can ship or this can be a local pickup, but I have no idea what shipping would be on this. The piece is about three years old and has no flaws or damage. I paid retail (2499) a few years back and would obviously like to recoup as much as possible so I am accepting all Reasonable offers. As a side note, this piece was bought from an authorized dealer (Guitar Center in Cambridge MA) and all seriel numbers are intact. Not to be rude but please don't shoot me any offers below 1200. I will be leaving this on classifieds for a few weeks and best offer will take it. PM me with any questions or concerns. -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrSandMan Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 I was wanting to get a BV150 / BV300 but it's hard to find them. But I can't imagine them selling for $2500 new. WoW! You can get a top of the line Mesa or a Diezel for that. I'm sure your price is reasonable, but damn!!! Who would have thought a crate would be valued for so much. They must be decent amps, you hardly ever see them for sale. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hcprimerib Posted April 27, 2007 Members Share Posted April 27, 2007 holy {censored}! I can't picture ever needing that much power behind me. 2 guitars running 100 tube watts each is killing my ears at practice and on stage as it is. my home rig, a Mesa 2:100 runs at most 1/4 open on the volume for both channels. must be getting old.

Members boboboz Posted May 1, 2007 Members Share Posted May 1, 2007 no offense but one on ebay right now selling @ $1100 with free shipping mabey you should lower your price a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachg Posted May 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2007 Unfortunately, the price will not go any lower. Until I am in a position where I NEED to sell this, (which will probably never happen) it'll stay at what it is. Anyway tho, that is a great deal on Ebay right now. Snap it up. thanks, Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sebbes Posted May 6, 2007 Members Share Posted May 6, 2007 To where do you ship this? Only US or also Europe? I might be interested in buying it at some point though not right now. What kind of music did you play with it? Does it include a footswitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of music did you play with it? Does it include a footswitch? I would think i could ship it anywhere, I just don't know what it would cost. I used to jam out with some of the guys from Deadwater Drowning for a short while before they stopped writing. You could call it metal if you want. The footswitch would of course be included tho. thanks, Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zachg Posted May 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 Ahh, did I miss something? We're talking Crate amp right? cmon, are you trying to tell me that Crate can't do metal??? It's certainly good enough for some decent names out there. I'm a little shocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtchc1978 Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 For anyone wondering, this is what they go for used in a retail chain store. I bet you could walk out the door with it for $750, maybe less.http://www.daddys.com/used/?itemnumber=CRA0083A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 120 watt head is what they are selling for 800 bucks... Seriously if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. give em a ring. -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachg Posted May 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2007 if you want to call- 1-508-797-4421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtchc1978 Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 That was highly unusual for them so I did call. They do not charge 799 for bv120's, the tag was switched. Someone probably walked away with a bv300 priced as a 120, who knows. When Daddys gets a bv300 in stock they are priced in that range, feel free to call back.

I wasn't gonna say anything either,I own the 150.It's true,these big boys sound nothing like the 120.People need to realize these amps will go toe to toe with the bigger names,good price man.wish I had the money right now,these are like hens teeth.

Members knucklefux Posted July 22, 2007 Members Share Posted July 22, 2007 hay zach, for future reference, never pay more than 60% of list price for new gear. you can buy much better amps for less money than you paid for that BV. sorry you got screwed.
