Members zenfascist Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 Okay, I've got an offer from this guy saying he'll sell me a Bassman 100 (not sure about the year) for $399 + shipping. Is this a good deal or should I try making him a better offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachoff Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 I would say no... 100W for ~$500 doesn't sound like the best deal even if they're tube watts. FWIW, you can get a 200W Yorkville YBA for around $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 If you're stuck on this amp, (and personally I like them), then I'd try to work a better deal. Question for you though: how do you plan on using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Groovin' Hippo Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 (OK, OK, I know it's blatant SPAM.) How does my Yorkville BM200 1x15" for $200.00 plus shipping strike you? As an aside, $400.00 for a 100watter is pretty igh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the_big_geez Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 Sounds like it's a 'vintage' '70s or '80s silverface Bassman. The asking price is based on its presumed collectability. The question you have to ask yourself is what do you value more: your money or this boat anchor? If it is what I describe, I'll say this: They are neat! They are FUN!! And they have next to no practical value at all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenfascist Posted September 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 Well, I want to run a rig like this: a 2x15 cab (which I have coming in the mail and should have pics of soon ) with a tube head running through it, preferably an old Sunn, running all my lows. Then have another tube head with an 8x10 running all my highs, Doug Pinnick style! From what has been said, and given that collectability doesn't really matter to me in this case, it sounds like it would be best to wait and keep searching for a better deal, yes? Thanks for all the feedback btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
