I found this vintage Gibson amp on ebay. Anyone know if it's any good?

Why don't you try it and form your own opinion?

If it's a 15W combo with a 12" Jensen speaker and built in Tremelo and Reverb then it sounds pretty good to me.

No offense dude but you have 6 posts here all asking about what's good. How are we supposed to know what you find good? Especially when you've already slagged off products a lot of people on here like.

Take a chance and play something and try it out. Nobody takes a huge hit on guitar gear it's not like buying a TV or a washing machine. Especially with a vintage amp if you pay a reasonable price 90% of the time you will be able to sell it if you don't like it for what you paid if not more or at worst a little less, so like I said no big hit.

i understand where you're coming from, but you can't expect me to drive 3,500 km just to try out an amp. sorry for not stating my preferences in amplifiers previously, but i'm looking for a good all-around tube amp for home use with nice cleans and one that works well with pedals.

i ask what's good, because this is a forum that's supposed to discuss gear and if it's worth buying when stumbled upon.

What you have to do is throw away your current guitar, and get a BC Rich with some EMG's
and Floyd Rose.

After you have that, buy a line 6. Make it the most expensive Line 6.

Now you can play any sound you want. Hell you dont have to play, just stand around and it will play
on its own.
