I took a 15 year time off from electric to bring up my one and only daughter. In that time, I went back to solo acoustic. It was a guitar or two, a 20lb acoustic amp or no amp if there was a PA in the club.
Now I'm playing in a band again. I have a Mark IIB that's in excellent condition. New caps, resistors, tubes, cleaned out, etc. It's a monster amp. As you know, it's also heavy. Especially compared to the acoustic rig I've been on for the last one and a half decades. I'm still strong and healthy, but I'd like something lighter.
Trouble is that I have yet to find anything that comes close to the Boogie until you get in the 2 to 3 thousand dollar range. Which means I wouldn't have the luxury of keeping the IIB. I'd have to sell.
That's a bummer...but I'm considering it. It's a big deal for me, actually, as I've been the only owner since picking it up at LaGuardia airport in 1980. But I'm not getting any younger and I'm playing out on electric again.
So I looked at the classifieds here and didn't see a single IIB. I'm wondering if that's because nobody wants to sell their's?
Long story short: can someone tell me what I would price for this setup? The amp has a new Jensen C12K in it (10lbs lighter and sounds great), though the original EVM12L is in excellent condition, sitting in a box in my closet. The Thiele is 1990 with the original EVM12L. It's a great rig. Couple of scratches on the tolex and the face of the EQ. That's it:
