How much is a 2004 65 deluxe reverb worth? Anyone? I don't have a Fender style amp!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I picked up my '04 less than a year ago for $500, it had been recently re-tubed with new JJs. Someone had added tilt-back legs to it (but it was a cheesey job, where they had sawed off legs that weren't made for it... so I removed that crap).
I added a Jensen Neo Speaker that I bought used for $75 and a Beam Blocker that cost me $10. Been gigging with it for a year. Only problem was one tube went out on me one day during rehearsal. Popped in a spare and still going. Just last weekend I added a new matched pair of JJ power tubes ($30)
So for about $600, I have a 35 lb amp that sounds as good as anything I have heard, that I can use for 80% of the venues I play. It loves my TIM and my Zen for OD, too!
My Tweed Bassman and BF Vibroverb haven't seen too much use since I grabbed this DRRI.
I have messed with so many boutiques and spent so much money, even spending hundreds on NOS tubes for all my amps, and I have been overlooking this simple approach to perfect live-gigging tone without breaking the bank! I only keep the other amps now for outdoor gigs and messing around on.

I recommend you look at the Completed Listings on eBay.
