What's Hot
Sold
Vintage silverface Princeton Reverb, 1979/80 model with original handwired circuit, fitted with a 12” WGS G12C/S smoothcone speaker. Thanks to the 12” speaker this amp is louder than your average Princeton, a bit heavier at 40lbs, and sounds fantastic. I got it in January from
@dcg on the forum but I have too many amps and the band isn’t doing any gigs just now, obviously, so this isn’t getting much use.
The amp is in very nice condition for its age. It has Mogami send and return reverb cables and a new two-button footswitch for the lovely reverb and tremolo. I’ve also just had it serviced by JB Amp Repairs in Poole and it will come with the service receipt. Work carried out as follows:
All tubes tested
V1 tube replaced
Bias checked OK
Cathode bypass caps replaced
Bias cap replaced
Pots cleaned
Speaker jack cleaned
Speaker wires resoldered
Reverb tested ok trem ok.
Comments
The condition is very good considering it’s 54 years old, with just a couple of small nicks in the grille cloth, a small dent in the top front edge of the tolex and a few small marks mainly on the bottom edges. It has a Hotcovers fitted padded cover which is not pristine but does the job. The amp can be viewed and tried in Salisbury in Wiltshire (subject to social distancing!) or I could possibly meet up halfway for petrol money. I do have a Fender amp box so I could pack it up if a buyer wanted to send a courier, at their own cost and risk, to collect the amp from me. I’m asking (£2250) £2100 and I’m just looking for a sale rather than trades. For comparison, there’s two similar 1960s blackface Princeton Reverbs on UK eBay currently, one is priced at £2825 and the other at £2750.
Thanks for looking.
