Skinny Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My old Vamp 60b retired to be a cutting horse. The electronics went to the scrap man minus the control knobs and the speaker is temporarily in a BFM cab. My first amp from 1982 ish. At least its still with me in spirit.

Of course, we had it tough.. ..
