What's New

(see "Guitars", "Amps" and "Other Stuff" pages for more info)

 

NOT FOR SALE

If tone is what you're after, and you play bass, than come check this out.  A pair of 1966 Ampeg B's.  I thought I'd share (show-off?) this B15N and friend DB thought his SB12 would like to visit.  I'm hoping a B18 comes by too.

 

 

 

Could pass for new Fender Telecaster Standard in Arctic White.  Has Fender Noiseless Pickups which were generously added by the previous owner.  With a gig bag for just $259.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half of an SVT cab would be this Hartke Transporter 410TP.  Big tone in a smallish cab for just $249.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Song Train instructional book and cds now available here.  Put together by Harvey Reid and Joyce Anderson it is 56 one and two chord songs from all styles of music.  Beautifully packaged and laid out so anyone can start playing the songs almost instantly.  Great as a gift for someone or even yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

   

Put this SWR Workingmans 4X10 with the above Hartke and whatta ya got?  This is the big deep one for $249.

 

 

 

 

A friend needs to part with his beautiful Martin OM-21.  Made in 1994 it is in great playing condition with the BIG and FULL tone that develops over the years in a guitar like this.  The highly regarded K&K 3 element pick up system is installed and working perfectly.  There are a couple of issues.... separation on the top seam from the bridge to the butt, a small crack next to the fingerboard and non-original Martin tuning machines.  Despite those kinda typical Martin issues the guitar looks totally stable.  At $1399 with a Martin Geib case not a bad deal.

 

 

 

 

NEWS FLASH

Up for sale......Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ with matching extension cab and road case....$2999.  

This was Jon Nolans' Say Zuzu guitar rig.  Now that Jon is off the road he can part with this fantastic amp.  A 1984 Mark IIC+ (one of 1499 ever made) with Black Shadow Celestion 12" speaker, wood and wicker cab and all the features and tone (google "Boogie Mark IIC+" and see what players have to say !!!!) that make this the Holy Grail of Boogies.  The extension cab has the matching wood wicker cabinet and a 15" Black Shadow EV speaker.  The road case looks to be an Anvil.   

In 100% original shape with no mods.  We just went thru the whole rig and everything is working fine.  Wanna hear what a Mesa Boogie is capable of?????  Come give her a spin.   

 

 

Close to one-of-a-kind.  A 1974 Fender Bandmaster Reverb amp that was put into a very nicely made 2X10" cab back in the 1990's by the guys at Retro Music.  All tube Fender tone, kinda like a bit more powerful Vibrolux !!  Could make you happy for a mere $899.  

 

More Godin and Reverend guitars here real soon.

Just got an email from Marc...he's returning from Russia soon with a "bunch" of NOS and new Russian tubes.....oh boy!!!

 

 

Now officially discontinued so grab one while you can....the fabulous Reverend Roundhouse 290.  Still at the old price too.....$499.

Coming as soon as they release them:
