Got this amp years ago at work from a client, who had no use for it, and pretty much didn't even know what it is.
Since I've been too busy with all of my other band projects, I haven't had the chance to get the use out of this baby, so I've decided to sell it. Need money for a new car etc..

The problem is, that no one seems to know what it's worth.
Tried searching this forum for anything with zero success, and nothing on eBay either. 276 watts and 70lbs of power still in working condition. Made in the mid-seventies.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

WOW --- I used to own one JUST like that ! I bought it used in 1976, and used it for bass, driving 2 Peavey 2-15" cabinets with JBL D-140F speakers. It really had a good sound, and was my main gigging amp for about 4 years. I knew it was a guitar head when I bought it, but the price was right, and it served me well. I saw one on EBAY a while back - they were asking $350 - if I remember correctly. This price was too high, in my opinion. My "guestimate" of currrent value would probably be $200 - $225.

I haven't seen to many of those myself mainly because like mentioned earlier " Not much call for a 300 watt guitar amp these days. As far as getting alot of money for it, most collectable Kustoms are Tuck and Roll and pre 1972 Plexy face "before Baldwin screwed with everything" and that would be the dilemma you'll be up against. I have both of the late models with the single output section and voicing control seen in this link.

There was an earlier model that they mentioned above with the 2 seperate amps and some with a graphic EQ that can be seen at this link.

I play in a band with everything Tuck and Roll so I haven't used them much. The times I did it was like the add says "For the serious musician cause unless you have a huge venue like Texas Statium, its way to much amp. These days just a little amp with great sound and a microphone will do the trick anywhere. If you list it on EBay set your minimum bid to what you feel you want to get for it and if it doesn't sell maybe relist at a little lower till it sells. I bought the Bass model for $50 at a pawn shop and used it to power main speakers on outside gigs and it worked so well I gave (with shipping) around $150 for the lead model. So I know you can get at least that for it. Good Luck ! Steve C
