This is a harp amp custom built for me by Mike Holland in 1999. I'll include the original invoice. I gigged with it a few times but mostly it's been in a smoke free, dust free environment in my studio. It is a point to point hand wired clone of the popular "59" Bassman circuit made from only the finest components. It's the Bassman sound but in a 2-10" speaker configuration that is lighter and more compact. 23.5" wide x 18" tall and 10 " deep tapering to 11".  I was the first buyer to ask for the blue tolex with the cane grill cloth. I think the pictures show that this amp is in excellent condition. Here's the deluxe part. I have since bought an amp from another famous harp amp builder and along with visiting harp amp forums have discovered improvements that can be made to make an amp more harp friendly. The amp now has a 5U4 rectifier tube for more sag, I've found that Tungsol 6L6 GC STR power tubes are a good match for this amp ( biased to 28ma ), and I have used lower gain preamp tubes ( 12AU, 12AY and 12AT ). All new tubes. The biggest improvement  is the use of 1 Weber 10A125-H speaker and 1 Weber 10F150-H speaker with beam blockers for a cascade of sound that has to be heard to be believed. I'm going to include a new Digitech Digiverb pedal. I'll be packing this amp in the same custom foam packaging I received it in. Sorry no returns.  On Sep-06-08 at 11:21:08 PDT, seller added the following information:Since several people have asked, let me add that this is also a great guitar amplifier after tube changes. So, if you are the winning bidder and a guitar player, let me know and I will change the rectifier and preamp tubes and bias the power tubes hotter. Place a Bid!
