This isn't the place for selling stuff. Forum rules? :idea:

Yeah, sorry, not directed at you towps, but the other two. Heck, both are only their first post and trying to sell something right off the bat. But, check out the PM button at the bottom of someones post for sending them a private message for such things. :idea:

anyone have any idea what the price this amp might have been in the shops when it was in production back in say 1995 or so?
Would it have been the same price as msrp for the hot rod deville 212 that fender lists on their website? about $1200 USD?

cheers

I owned one of the original 4X10 models of the Blues Deville that were made in Corona. I had it for about 9 years. It's a really nice sounding amp. However, one complaint that I have heard a lot and having owned one I have to agree with is that it's "just to loud" out of the gate" even at 1 on the dial. If you spend some time reading forum postings on the DeVille what you are going to hear a lot of is, "how do I tame this beast". If you play larger venues you'll love this amp. But, for just about anything else it can often be overkill. I own a Twin now and it of course is a very loud amp as well. However my issue with the Deville wasn't the overall volume as much as it wasn't controllable on the lower settings. Yes, I really believe that it will go to 12 but the thing is that it starts out at around 4 and then goes to 12 and on this amp 4 is very loud.
