With luck I'll have one of these by the end of the week... read some really good things about it online and there is one locally for cheap.
:D

The only bummer is that the pervious owner didn't like the faded or worn off lettering, so he painted/penned them in...

Yeah! Great score! I especially like Ampegs when they're tattered and grimy and half of the silkscreened labels are gone.
Means business.

That is seriously sexy. I regret not being able to get the Ampeg Gemini 12 a few weeks back (but I'm not willing to pay the grand the current owner wants to flip it for)

Such a dick move when someone takes advantage of a deal then trys to sell it on craigslist again. Have some class, at least pawn it on eBay where there's less chance the original owner sees it.

That's not a bummer about the lettering, it looks cool. On my '73 Marshall Super Bass someone's just written a downward arrow and "ON" under the power switch with black felt-tip decades ago, looks pretty hoopty by now.

This amp is badass. They go for a little under 500$ on eBay. Definitely a strong option if your thinking of a Bassman type amp. Great crunch ton, and a much more powerful EQ section than a Bassman.

U guyz dont like mah ampeg?

Update: took it to my tech and we fixed it together. Someone had added a bias and the power tubes were running really cool. Replaced the mod'd restisor and added new matched power tubes. Haven't used it yet since, but amp excited. It should get a cap job, but the 2nd channel is silent so I elected to save money.

Well, you didn't tell us what it cost you, so I'm not going to say "Holy Moses, what a great deal". But it looks good.

200$ + new tubes and work so around 300$ total. Which makes it less of a steal, but still a great giggable amp
