Thanks! All is well, a crazy busy life in recent years hasn't afforded a lot of spare time unfortunately, but it's finally starting to calm down a bit. Nice to see a lot of the ol' familiar names are still here. Looking forward to hanging bit more again in the future. Happy holidays to you!
 
Lots of offers and a few more pieces gone. Hit me up! I'm feeling the holiday spirit!!
 
I had the pleasure of paying Fretmaster a visit a couple weeks ago to buy a Marshall cab from him. Great guy, great gear, and great prices. All the stuff he has is super clean.
 
Things are moving fast, but there's still a few killer pieces to be had! I'm still feeling festive! Hit me up!
 
I will be traveling to the greater D.C. area (College Park, Silver Spring, Rockville, Lanham) area tomorrow. If you're in the area and would like to meet for delivery of any of the remaining gear here, hit me up asap!
 
For one day only!! I will accept regular PP and eat the fees on payment made before midnight tomorrow night as the 1099 thing starts again in 2024. So if you want one of these pieces and need to pay by PP credit card, I'll accept it. But this ends after tomorrow. As off 12/31/2023 @ 24:00 it goes back to PPFF or other non 1099, no fee form of payment. Now's the time for an incredible deal on some premier gear.

Man if that front panel wasn't so fucked up. You should straighten it out…

I would hardly call it "fucked up". It's simply pushed in maybe a 1/4" and could likely be very easily pushed back out. Bottom line is, simply because I'm too busy to mess with it, I've put an unbeatable price on it for this reason. Someone could get a killer deal on a 100% perfect performing and sounding BE100, and after getting a killer deal they could easily pull the chassis and straighten it. If I take the time to straighten, the price goes back up substantially. Other than the two small imperfections described that amp could pass for mint.
 
I may be in the D.C. area this weekend doing a guitar swap and visiting my son in Lanham. If anyone is interested in either of these pieces and lives in that area (or anywhere between western Maryland and D.C.), I could bring it right to you!

At nearly 60 yrs of age, two back surgeries and 12 injections, haft stacks, heavy 100 watt heads and or 4x12 cabs are a thing of the past for me. I can still pick them up and carry them easily, but now days, I suffer for it later. So, I'm downsizing and migrating to all low watt 1x12 combos and heads. I'm sure I'll probably hate myself for this later to some extent, but it's time I look at things from a more practical point of view.

All items have lived for years in my climate controlled, pet free, smoke free home studio. I haven't played a gig in MANY MANY years.

-Friedman BE100 Deluxe. The King of the Freidman line. Tone Del Maximo. The epitome of Plexidom! You know what it is. Sounds / plays / IS amazing!! Mint condition: No longer available

-Friedman BE100 (circa 2016 / pre B.A.D. but have not verified that:) Very good condition. $2600 (SALE $2200) + SH / PPG Only reason it's not rated as excellent + to mint is the front panel was pushed in slightly years ago (amp functions perfectly, no other damage) and one tiny nearly imperceptible tolex snag on the front right that you have to look hard to find even up close. Priced to reflect this. Amp sounds AMAZING, BTW.

-Bogner Helios Eclipse in very good condition. (SOLD) + SH / PPG. I purchased this amp as a blemished item some years ago from Sweetwater. Reason for very good and not excellent is, at some point it been had some impact and returned to Sweetwater. The only signs of this is the large transformer sets on a slight tilt from the apparent impact. the cabs is structurally perfect, not breaks or cracks. Tolex is in excellent condition. The amp is in great shape, functions 100% and sound incredible! WAY more gain than I have ever been able to use, but sounds amazing dialed in for low to medium gain classic tones. I LOVE this amp!! Price reflects the blems, but she functions 100% perfectly and looks great in person. No worries, just a possible great deal to be had.

-EVH 5150 III 100 watt: You know what it is. Excellent condition: (SOLD) + SH / PPG

-Cameron 4x12, Anniversary G12H30's, black tolex with black grill cloth, near mint: (SOLD) PPG - pickup only!!

-Mojave 4x12, Anniversary G12H30's, Black tolex, brown / gold grill cloth, sharp looking cab and has balls the size of a rhino, near mint: (SOLD) PPG - pickup only!!

-Bogner 4x12 early circa 1992, Anniversary G12H30's, black tolex, early cane grill, looks awesome and sounds even better. Professionally added switch and wiring so it can be run it as a mono 16 ohms, or 8 ohm stereo cab (like the Marshall 1960 cabs). Near mint: $950 (SALE $850) PPG - pickup only!!

-Marshall 1960A 4x12, ??? 70's, vintage salt & pepper grill cloth. G12T75's. When I purchased the cab from a pawn shop eons ago, I had fully intended to swap out the speakers, but when I got it home and plugged into it, it sounded so good and so classic, I left it alone. Just a, solid, killer, old cab with loads of classic mojo. Functionally 100%, esthetically good condition with various tolex snags and minor tears one would expect from a cab its age which just adds to the vintage mojo. SOLD - pickup only!!

I have a pile more amps and guitars (Gibson Custom shops, Knaggs, etc, that will likely be coming up in the not too distant future.

Trades of interest:
-Custom Shop Fender Strats and Tele's. I'm particularly fond of relics and maple necks, but I'm open.
-Low wattage amps heads / combos: Marshall SC20H (no Marshall combos!), Tweed Fender's (i.e. 5E3's) (no reissues other than hand wired models)
-Magnatone combos
-Gibson Soapy LP's, 2 - single coil pickup Melody Makers (single cut), Possibly Knaggs J series Kenai, Severn or Choptanks with soapbars or single coils. Not interested in any humbucker guitars, please!

Everything is available for in person pickup. In fact, I'll discount slightly more off the prices for in person pick up to avoid having to pack up and ship any of these items. And you can check out all my stock pile while you're here! My location is Maryland zip 21502-5835. I'd be willing to drive within an hour to meet for delivery as well.

Please don't ask me to post pics!! I've been away from posting for so long I can't remember how to post them. If you're looking, you already know what they look like, but if you are SERIOUSLY interested, and must have pics, you can message me your email or cell # and I can email or text the pics your desire. Better yet, come to my home or meet me and see them in person before you buy. I'm very confident there will be no disappointments. I've done more deals on this forum and others than I could possible count over the years, and never had a bad deal or experience. So, no worries dealing with me. In the event that I ship any of the above, I always pack my gear as though it's going to be dropped from a 747 over your house to assure safe arrival.

Thanks for looking!!

Man, I would have made the drive for the Mojave had I seen this sooner. Best 4x12 I've ever owned, unfortunately mine burned in a rehearsal room fire. And of course Peter Mathers who made them has passed away.
