How much did you pay for it soiouz, if you don't mind me askin?

I don't mind!


I paid 450$ CDN, so that's 385$ US.

I checked ebay to see for how much they usually sell and the lowest price I saw was 511$ US. I saw a couple go for around 600$ US (on ebay and craigslist).

I think I made a good deal!

I've got an amp that was made by Gibson in the 60's. It's basically a copy of a 5F1 circuit plus tremolo.

It's effing fantastic. I hesitate to mention the brand name simply because once people get hip to them I won't be able to afford them anymore.

Stick with Fender amps. They sound better in my opinion.

At 3-4 times less expensive, the Gibson stuff is just fine with me!  ANYTHING old and Fender seems to be ridiculous now.
