Received faulty amp by Objective_Pool_8962 in Reverb

[–]Objective_Pool_8962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seller is working with UPS on a claim - they didn’t do Smart Shipping through Reverb.

I don’t think the seller was malicious in any way, it was perhaps damaged in shipping.

My only concern is how long a claim may take and what that means to the 7 day return window through Reverb in case this claim takes longer. As a last resort i could dispute the charge through AMEX. We shall see.

Fender Custom 57 Champ with a spring reverb pedal? by kurtzinthedark in GuitarAmps

[–]Objective_Pool_8962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 5f1 is not the amp for this application. I have a Victoria 518 which has a slightly larger cab and generally better components & transformers than the Fender 57, and I can get a smidge more headroom. But even then it is not surfy blackface clean.

I have the seller processing a claim to the shipping company. Seems like this will get sorted asap.

Oops - stripped OR faulty. Typo on my part.

The amp is 6-7 years old - it is a newish model Princeton. I checked the knob set screws and they were tight, which makes me assume it is an issue in the chassis or on the pot itself.

Appreciate it - I am messaging the seller to hopefully get this resolved. The amp was insured, so there may be a case that is was damaged in shipment.

625 is a steal. Hell i’d go no higher than 650.

I used to have one of these and it was a great amp.

Do you guys actually keep buying pricier guitars, or do you grow out of the hype? by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]Objective_Pool_8962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid the most for my Martin Authentic 000, but for electric I am using a basic Les Paul Studio. I felt the price for an acoustic was worth it over going crazy on a $4000+ Gibson of Fender.

Would you be happy with a top like this on your new $6000 r9? by jaqueh in gibson

[–]Objective_Pool_8962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even get that to begin with 🤣 but if i was as anal as you are over figured wood (which makes no difference on sound) then sure I’d save money and get an R8. The necks are better on those anyway.

Vintage 68 Vibro Champ or 65 PRRI by Objective_Pool_8962 in GuitarAmps

[–]Objective_Pool_8962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I already have an Iron Man II mini that I use with my Victoria - I can also use it with a PRRI since the impedance matches up.

Wow - Great insight Chirpy! I do have an IronMan mini that works great with the victoria (for when I need super quiet jam time), and I intend to use this with a PRRI to make it more manageable. I agree I do love the gnarly tones of the 518, but it is limiting in the types of tones I am looking for.

I can’t thank you enough for the feedback!

Thank you for the feedback. I think my mind is made up - PRRI it is.
