Hi BassChatters

 

Here's a little beauty for you. 

Not mint, but not a knacker either. 

Runs quiet as a mouse but will go VERY loud if you like. 

S/S pre - amp with 150watt valve power amp. 

Sound gorgeous and looks cool as you like. Mosyly original bar the fretcloth on the front panel which had gone way beyond relic and needed replaced. 

The build quality is real high end. Look at those rubber and stainless skids it sits on. All the nickel hardwear has a lovely patina and the Tolex, probably the tattiest part of this fine amplifier, is in fair to middling order. 

I bought this off Surroundedbymanatees during lockdown and it was given a clean bill of health by the tech I use at that time. It's seen little use since then.

4 x 6L6 GC's by JJ which look (and sound) to be pretty new. 

Caps look to have been replaced in 2019 (see pics). 

 

23"x 10" x 9" approx 

Weight is 33lbs

 

Anything you feel I might have missed just get in touch. 

 

Collection preferred but will happily courier at cost.

Oooh.

*swoon*

Well, y'know, it could be yours.

 

I'm playing through it right now. It sounds as good as it looks. Better, maybe...

Shug, you have often chided me, over many years, on my amps/gear/guitars obsessions, but here you are, quietly revealing that you are just as bad as the rest of us, with a ton of lovely vintage and high end gear, that i had absolutely no idea that you had, because you've been keeping it quiet all this time! If you want to talk, you know where I am.

 

Hope to see you soon,

Rob (& Jan)

Ah I bet it does. However - I think two big old valve amps is plenty for me.

Ha! Y'ain't wrong.

More to come, too, ancient and modern. Got a lovely 72/3 Traynor Custom Special head, all present and correct, an early series Demeter pre amp, a big ol' Aguilar 412, an Ampeg 212 (Great, heavy as, though), coupla old school power amps, maybe a couple of pre-amp pedals. Probably more...

How you liking that Bergantino?

 

Love to you and Jan

What are you going to do with all the room at home that you will now be able to use? 😂

The Bergantino is really nice. It’s hard to describe how it sounds really, it just sounds better than everything else I’ve tried I suppose. It’s very open and responsive, very natural sounding.

C'mon, Guys. No love for this stone-cold classic piece of loveliness?

 

Did a small theatre show last night - Dylan tribute so not mega loud but not a chamber orchestra either. Master on 9 for max power amp valviness, gain on about 4, eq flat-ish (who knows where flat is on these?) sounded beautiful.

Runs quiet as a mouse - no pops, crackles, buzzes etc. Looks gorgeous, too...

 

Less than 2' wide so it'll sit on a whole lot of even quite modest cabs nicely. Only weighs 33 lbs, so not a big carry by any means. Don't know why I'm selling it, really, but my loss could for sure be your gain.

 

Look, I know times is tough, so my best offer to you would be £450. That's £3 a watt - a Leo Fender, made in California, 1970's watt, mind, not your dodgy think-of-a-number-and-double-it digi-watt.  

 

You know you want it. You deserve it, frankly. You'll not see another, either, chances are. A genuine, fully funktional, cool as fck, real-world usable vintage classic that won't cost a fortune in maintenance, won't be moody and unreliable, won't break your back or your bank and will, I'd bet money, appreciate in value.

 

I've got a couple of nice cabs coming up that would suit this ol' gal down to the ground and I'd cut a real special deal on one with this amp.

 

Be quick before I sober up and change my mind.

I used to play through one of these…honestly the best I’ve ever used! I wish I wasn’t such a cheap old basted.

It is a beaut. Having got it out of storage and cleaning it up I've started to use it on a few shows. Sounds great and looks classy.
