Crate GX-130C (head) great condition

[Rotatous]

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Crate GX-130c head (equivalent to Ampeg VH-140c) from the 90s. Two channels, a stereo chorus, and an effects loop. Its in great condition (refer to pictures. One knob is missing, and a rubber piece on the top right edge), considering how few of these there are. I have cleaned this amp,before and since the pictures have been taken, and will clean it once more before it ships.

Modifications (if any): No modifications. It was fixed after I bought it (not the first owner), and now it works perfectly.

Accessories (hardshell case etc): No accessories. It didn't come with a footswitch.

Location (City,State or City,Country): Austin Texas (Dripping Springs, Texas)

Contact Info (No Phone #s) casey_hurd@yahoo.com


Price (include currency and if firm/obo): $250 firm.

Refrences: I haven't sold to anyone on a forum, as far as I know. But I have sold through craigslist before.

I thought the Shockwave was the equivalent one.

 

[Rotatous]

Nope, the shockwave is newer, and is the semi-equivilant to this, from what I've experienced. This was actually made during the same time period as the Ampeg.

It even looks like the Ampeg.

Hm... I've got one of these sitting in my basement right now collecting dust. I think I'm gonna have to actually plug it in now.

 

[Rotatous]

If you have a good cab to match it, its great. They're very hard to find in good condition.

Jack Owen rocked this amp for a while.

added by edit, from Oct. 1996 issue of Guitar School:

"I play a Brian Moore Custom straight into a Crate GX130C. It's the best head Crate ever made, and they don't make them anymore. You plug straight in and it rips."

I didn't know they made a Head as well.
I still have, somewhere, my GX130C 2x12 combo.
It never really worked right though..

Can i get it with a cab?

 

[Rotatous]

^^I'd like to say yes, but I currently need the cab I have right now for recording purposes.

Id just find an avatar (with vintage 30s) on craigslist

When I got the amp, I didn't really care that it didn't come with a cab, cause it was the best condition that I'd ever seen one in.

[Rotatous]

This is the last week It will be for sale, then Im trading it in at my local music store, or I'll sell it elsewhere for a more expensive price.

 

[Rotatous]

Last week guys. Just a reminder. This is a good amp, not a shitty new Crate, but from when Crate was a more respectable company.

Bump.
