Hey everyone! I just picked up this Marshall Valvestate 8100 for $100. Does anyone here own one or have any experience with these amps? I’d love to hear what you think about it and whether you think I got a good deal.
1995 Made in USA Fender Blues Junior (Tweed NOS) - Modded & Upgraded
is my '95 Blues Jr with all the right upgrades to bring out its best tone:
*
1995 Made in USA (Corona, CA): A rare find from the original USA production run before Fender moved manufacturing for these over to Mexico.
* Speaker Upgrade: Celestion Vintage 30 (12", 8 ohms). Punchier mids, tight low-end, and significantly more projection than the stock speaker.
Reverb Tank: Upgraded to a MOD Reverb unit for a much warmer, deeper, and more natural decay.
* 4 Capacitor Overhaul (Re-cap): High-end F&T German capacitors (100\mu\text(F} & 22\mu\text{F}) installed in the power section. Eliminates unwanted noise/hum and improves overall dynamic response and stability.
* Chasis Maintenance: Cleaned up wiring and PCB servicing for total reliability on stage or in the studio.
A rare American-built classic dialed in with all the essential mods to sound huge and run dead quiet.
I bought this guitar for $400, but I was thinking about having it refinished. I’m not sure, though. What do you guys think?
I’m being offered this 1973 Gibson L6-S for $470. Do you guys think that’s a good price?
It has a few details that make me think someone may have tried to relic it, but it’s hard to tell since the guitar is also over 50 years old.
What do you guys think? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
