ie it looks a bit different. but if you look at the marks on the grill it is clearly the same amp.
Stupid stuff. I don't know Fender amps particularly well but I believe Vibroverbs are relatively rare, so collectors will know the right price and they're the only market for a six grand amp.

Thanks for this thread. Nick, thank you, you're right! I can also assure you we didn't buy it through the forum, nor at that price. It was actually through eBay at a totally different price. Then factor in tech fees, eBay fees, PayPal fees, postage, packaging, etc, etc.

It does need moved back into the right position though, is is sitting too far back and at that price the ebay listing should have gut shots and probably a demo video too.

Thanks for clarifying. So, purely out of interest - i'm not digging or trying to catch you out here - but if the amp was on eBay at £3k, which IMO was priced pretty competitively and nobody bought it (and bearing in mind EVERY vintage guitar dealer in London has a computer on the counter that is permanently on eBay looking for gear...), the seller obviously knew the value of the amp so I doubt he knocked much off, so what's the motivation in putting it up a few weeks later for close to £6k? Surely you're expecting to hang onto it for a long while at that price? Or does the fact that it's now being sold through a 'dealer' really add that much weight to the price? It's a genuine question, not a dig by the way :-)

The chassis is very original, the three disc ceramics on the trem have been replaced, the electrolytics are the original Mallory cardboard cased caps, which are actually still operational, If it were to be used in anger they would certainly need changing, but collectors apparently want them as original as possible, so that is the brief.
I must say however, it sounds absolutely awesome, (I have owned a good number of BFs over the years and still have a reasonable collection of drip edge SFs), but the with the 15" JBL, it sounds huge!
