Post Do you think it's worth it?
So a guy has a '63 Vibroverb RI on CL:

http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/msg/2316836336.html

Looks like Emi Patriots in there, which should be an upgrade from the stock speakers which I heard were pretty awful.


He is interested in doing a trade for the Orange Tiny Terror + Cab. Now, those don't exactly belong to me so I would have to run it past my brother, but before I throw the idea past him do you think it would be a good trade for me? I figure that Vibroverb would probably fetch more, so I might have to throw a little bit on top of the TT, but not much. But, if he decided to start playing again he and didn't like the amp, he could use it to get something nicer than the TT anyway.

I would probably take either one over the TT. But both seem priced a bit steeply to me. I think he is overstating value there trying to draw a "better" trade value than either amp is really worth, realistically. Do a couple completed listings searches on eBay. I haven't checked in a while, but both prices seem high to what i remember. I could remember wrong though, who knows.

Which one specifically i would go for, kind of depends. I personally could make use of the JCM for violent-ish stuff. But i might be inclined to hold out for a head version+4x12 for that. It is just the way that that amp makes most sense to me. And i would probably old out for a cheaper specimen as well, in that case.

The Vibroverb is pretty ace/glorious though. However, do check the prices for those things. If it is close to reasonable for todays market, or if the dood will move a bit on what he says he wants for it, i might be inclined to go that way...

I am thinking if I can get the Vibroverb for the Orange + Cab plus no more than $150 in cash I might be interested.

The rig you have was probably what about $800-850 new? Probably go for like $600-700 used?

This Vibroverb did not sell at $825: http://cgi.ebay.com/1991-FENDER-63-VIBR ... 20b8391ade

And this one did, at $810: http://cgi.ebay.com/FENDER-63-VIBROVERB ... 33663ac90e

And I feel like if you looked a bit harder, you would probably be able to find a reissue at $700-800.

The Eminence speakers are about $150 for the pair? I don't know that i would consider them to make the amp worth $150 more, myself...

$250 is no crazy deal. Seems a bit on the high side of almost fair?

But i would say that +$50-150 would be more like where it made a lot of sense.

The fact is, the values of the two rigs are not, IMO $250 apart. Maybe $150? Max $200?

I don't know, i guess it is really more about what you can afford, and how badly you want to dump the TT. :idk:

Cash value aside, i do feel like the Vibroverb is "more amp" though.

Actually, as i am looking through listings, some of the TT heads go pretty cheap used, as little as like $375... Most more like $4-something i guess, but still.

Hmm.

I'm going to have to try it out before I shell out $250, but honestly I'm not dying for the amp.

So he is kinda shaky on whether or not he wants to sell it, but I think he will.

Might be getting myself a new little something something this Thursday :rennen:

So he might keep the 1x10 cab for travel purposes, which would be cool with me cause I can run it through the H30 so yeah.

Though I wouldn't hate the 1x10 for an extra $50.

What kinda speaker is in the 1x10?

They do make a 10" version of the Greenback, which would be, assuming it sounds like it should, awesome.

I'm sure it is some stock Vox Celestion Designed Night Train Speaker Eargasm model.

Yup: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/V110NT

10" greenback could be cool ...

Yar, i would be curious about the 1x10. I don't know if they make those out of real wood though... So it might not be much of a loss.

Also: I believe celestion does do a greenbackish 10", the G10?

http://professional.celestion.com/guita ... .asp?ID=33

They are a little different focus, sonically, just due to being smaller, but they can sound pretty doap in a 4x cab. The 4x10s are also pretty awesomely small. They look like 412s until you put a head on top and it dwarfs the cab.

Yeah they are not high quality cabs at all, but for $50 I wouldn't hate having it. I'm thinking the little guy might sound nice through the H30, but the H30 seems to want to be really loud.
