Even the RI Vibroverb is getting pricey, they're selling for $2k+ on ebay... last year they were around $1500-1800.


It's like any other limited-quantity commodity.

I've had good luck buying old Fender amps that have been modded-ruined-and sold for pennies on the dollar. Some have original caps. All have original iron-a must. After restored to original, they're worth a lot more than used boutique amps. I've never heard an amp that sounds better than an old Fender. Vibrolux Reverbs are the s*#t. Let's not forget Roy and his telecater thru a Vibrolux pointed backward.


+100, said the man who's also done the same with a 65 Bandmaster, 65 Showman, and now a 65 Tremolux... there are deals to be had out there.
