i have a chance to pick up a mark 3 bluestripe combo for 500. i dont know anything other than that. im just wondering if thats a good deal. i mean im pretty sure it is but you can never be too sure. what should i watch out for? i currently have a mark iv, what should i expect?

Excellent price if it is fully functional but has cosmetic issues, i.e. tolex rips, or needs new tubes. Check it out ASAP!

As a point of reference, I snagged mine last May or June for $450. Had tolex rips and a little cracked cab (the latter fixed with a vice and woodglue), but it came with some AWESOME NOS tubes that the guy had no idea about...

If you get a chance to play it, keep the channel volumes down and crank with the master volume... the tones are AMAZING, especially the cleans.

You bumped your head man. The mark III and $500 cash for the JP. Not $500 cash for my mint Mark III blue stripe with no tears or damages of any kind. Also loaded with 6l6 420's at that.
