QUOTE I am selling my cherished Fender Super 60 Tube Amplifier. It is a whopping 165 watts, giving you enough power to seriously play a small concert hall! I purchased it back in 2000 for $600. It still has it's original tubes, but sounds great! Willing to sell it for $150. See the attached pictures for more details and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! I don't know much about amps. Is an 8 year old amp going sound good? I havent really been playing long so I don't need anything to big, or crazy, just something to play/practice. but the amp i have now is really underpowered i feel like. I'm not sure of the specs on the amp I have now, cuz I'm at work. but I'll post them later tonight thanks alot in advance for your input! EDIT: Let me know if you think its worth the upgrade! THANKS! -Chris EDIT: Here's a link to the specs of the amp I have (found it on the internet) FM25 Amp Edit here's the pic(s)  "

165W, I seriously doubt that. 60W for petes sake!!!
 No matter if the tubes are worn out $150 is nothing to think twice about, it's no money for a full tuber even if this model isn't that well known, at least not to my knowledge. But be aware that spite the dude says it's 165W and good enough for a concert hall, 60W becomes very loud. Very loud! So I'd expect great cleans and a good enough lead channel for blues or american rock. -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (fkalich @ Jun 13 2008, 12:34 AM) Right, this is suspicious though, might be stolen or something not right. Nobody sells a powerful (60w is powerful) Fender tube amp for $150. Except this guy. edit: and how many people here, who don't know the Amp power of an Amp they have owned for 8 years? Or think that you could buy 165 tube watts for $600 even 8 years ago? Or that Fender ever made such an animal? Right. Bet it is stolen. Yeah, that's a good reflection I didn't think of. I just though - rich dude who wants to get rid of his stuff quick. I often set my price a bit too low just to close the deal quick. Not because I'm rich but I just don't have the time or energy to talk to dozens of ppl before I get the cash. I rather talk with one, get less cash but instantly. -------------------- My bands homepage

I think fkalich may be right in being sceptical here. To the best of my knowledge Fender stopped building the Super 60 in the very early 1990s - about 92/93. So even if bought in 2000 the amp would be at least 16 years old - and 8 when the guy bought it. That and getting the 60 vs 165W bit wrong
 . A 16 year old amp will need at the very least new valves if the guy hasn't ever done it. Seems unlikely given that he doesn't know the wattage of his amp. EDIT - see he says the tubes are orignal - 16 year old tubes WILL need replacing and I don't believe that they still sound great  .Anyway - if it is genuine - the Super 60 was a good/great valve amp, great for American voiced rock/blues guitar. Price wise though you can find used 16 year old Super 60s for around 300-500 USDs that have been well looked after. So factor in the cost of tubes and this isn't a bargain imho - just the same price as others.

Man... if it works, and looks good, it's a STEAL literally! 60W of tube power is VERY loud.

60W of tube power is too loud for home practice. I would say a 15Watter is good for home, and that can be loud as well. For example compared to 15W, 50W is almost twice as loud.
