Amp Auction: Fender Blues Deluxe Amp. Original. Lacquered tweed.


Fender Blues Deluxe Amp. Original. Lacquered tweed. Amp Auction Description: Hi everybody. I'm auctioning off my good ol' Blues Deluxe amp. I got it in 2000 second hand and it's been my mail amp since then. The previous owner had played it regularly in his church, so maybe it's got a little bit of the holy ghost in there. Good vibes. This is a MADE IN THE USA original Fender Blues Deluxe. Not the modern reissue.I used to play out with this, but for the past... maybe 7 years it's just been a living room amp. It works perfectly and sounds great. It's all original with the exception of Input jack no. 1. I had to replace that, but it was a simple fix and it works great. It has its original vinyl cover with the cool vintage Fender logo on it. And it comes with the original channel switching footswitch.This is a LOUD 40 watt amp, but it also sounds great at living room volume since it has a master volume knob. Beautful clean tones and fun crunch overdrive. I never really used it to go into insane face-melting distortion. Just a little gritty/crunchy stuff which it does a great job of.According to the internet the amp was built in November 1995. (FK date on quality control stamp inside cabinet)The tweed covering is used and just a little abused. It looks really cool and well loved. No ugly rips, just wear and tear on the corners. A few years ago I gave it a few coats of shellac to seal up the tweed and give it a nice vintage look so now it's more durable for future use. The control panel has tarnished a little with age but the knobs are all in great shape and the labels are all clear, knobs and controls all work great.It has two MESA 6L6 tubes and 3 Groove Tubes AX7s. Real spring reverb sounds great. This amp is a beauty and I'll miss it alot.The previous owner also installed casters so you can roll it around and move it easier. I always liked them and left them on, but you could easily take them off and put on metal glides, or rubber feet. Wheels work great though so I left them on.SO, that's all I've got to say about it. I'll answer any questions you have. But here are lots of big photographs of pretty much every detail of the amp.Take a look. Thanks for looking.Shipping looks like it will be about 45 dollars. I won't know until I pack it and bring it to the post office. I will only charge the actual shipping price. No extra fees. Just basic shipping with insurance and a tracking number. I'm estimating 45 dollars from my research.On Jan-22-11 at 16:19:50 PST, seller added the following information:For more detailed info on the original BLUES DELUXE you can check out this page.
