first post here we go...
I picked up a 71'/72' 1200s for $300 about 4 years ago, my friend found it in a used book store. $300 got me the 1200, an acoustic 1x15, and a pa cab my friend took as a finders fee. traded the 1x15 for a sunn 2x15 as my best friend was moving and needed something smaller to take with him. got a 73' concert bass many years ago in store credit for trading in a bass i bought at goodwill for $35 they wanted $100 for it. got a beta bass combo with 1x12(
) for $190 last year, took the amp out as the speaker was too midrangy, just use it as a head now. got a 118V for $100, got a sl260 combo for $175, have a lead on an alpha 210 combo for $100 that I'm probebly gonna pick up when the owner gets home from tour. most of my gear I get at Atomic music in Beltsville MD. DC area folks should know what I'm talking about, great selection, great service, amazing prices.
