My buddys dad has a Blonde Bassman w/ cabinet that works intermittently. Power turns on and Tubes glow but sound is intermittent. He wont take less than 600 for it. Im very tempted but I dont know if its worth it. By the way I am a long timer user of this forum but its been so long that I had to re register. Any input would be appreciated.

I would've written the check yesterday.

Of course, it's worth six bills......is the bear catholic?

Figure a couple of hundred in reconditioning costs, an afternoon with some Windex and Armor-All to clean her up, and you'll end up with a $2000 rig.

I'm sure myself, Arjay and others would be happy to pay $600 for it if there's a doubt...

Outstanding.

Post the porn ASAP!

We'll need it all......gut shots, tranny numbers, eyelet board, filter caps, power-supply wiring, cabinetry, speakers, the whole can of whupass.

Righteous deals occur only where preparation meets opportunity.

Keep liquid assets handy, know your subject beforehand, and follow the clues to the treasure.

+1. All the best deals on Craigslist come up on Sunday when the bank is closed. :lol:
Cash is king.

Congrats on the amp. Welcome back to the forums.
