Is she worth it? http://kansascity.craigslist.org/msg/954509543.html

This is worth $400.00 but will cost another $150.00 or so to have a tech check it out and change the caps and resistors (if required).

This amplifier is not a 1963 model as the seller claims. It was built in November 1966.

If you are looking for a nice amp ,check out the one noel is selling!

[dan P]

Thank you both , Was not looking for Noel's , I have too many now, but rather a project ....( I admitt I would like to add a vox to the mix, but I do believe my el based 84-50 is close to it) thought I may make him an offer...lot of gear on CL right now...just not one like this...

[Jukebox]

You could check out the amp wenzel has for sale also. Or just buy a Bose and be done with it! There only $2500.00.

[dan P]

yeah..2500 buys a new ac30 and primo guitar of choise...or a few other good combinations....or 5 corvettes..!

If I lived there I'd snap it up... then again I do my own amp repairs and I'd likely turn around and sell it for a profit

You really dig those Bose amps, don't you Jukebox? I have to do some reading now, to see what all the hype is about

I can't afford another amp, but I like to keep up with the latest in amp technology

[Synchro]

I'd go for it in a heartbeat. That's a heckuva piece of gear.

I think the biggest thing is the pure sound that comes out of it. A lot has to do with the 24 speakers that are about 4 inches.With the Bose, what you here at twenty feet,you here the same at 200 feet away. The same volume everything.

I play through two of the Bose sticks $5000.00 worth on Sundays on a sort of rockin' praise team. I think they really suck for a "real" electric guitar and really really suck with an electric bass. But they sound real nice in a small room for the electric accoustic and vocals, electric drums, and keyboard in a canned sort of way. They wouldn't work very well for a real rock band. But boy do they really stink playing my electrics through them. I can think of a lot of other ways to go for $5000.00

[Jukebox]

You must not have you EQ set right or someone has put a mod setting on it because I have three that I use out playing at all times .I also know a couple of Rock band who agrees with me that wouldn't have any other PA system. For an electric guitar you should ask Syncro what his 6120AM sounded like!

[wpgjazzman]

Hi Mike - what model Bose guitar amplifier system do you have. I only know of Bose as stereo/home theater systems.

[GreatGretsch]

That Bandmaster is not a 63. In 63 they had a brown face and white knobs. The numbers would be on the face-plate. But $400 is not a bad price for a black face 66'.

I'm a tube amp die-hard but I have to admit that the sound I got out of Juke's Bose was impressive. It was warm, alive and beautiful.

[Pappy]

I think it's worth it (the Bandmaster) and encouraging to see prices that aren't out of this world. It inspires confidence in the idea of a future purchase of a vintage amp.

I see this morning its still up for grabs, may offer him 300...just dont know how much I have to put back in her to get it in playing shape, I do think 150.00 is tooooo low, from the looks of her its a total restoration, all caps, pots, etc...

[JohnnyCrash]

I got a ton of info from NAMM on them Bose sticks when they first came out and that was the last I heard of them. I think The Paul Schaffer band on Letterman are still using them - have been since they came out.

When it comes to amps, I got so many I built I can't bother with more, even cool modern sticks HAHA.

I always wondered how guitar players use them, but that link you sent Jukebox had their amp modeler on there. Either that, or it was an electron stroboscopic subatomic particle seperator

[wpgjazzman]

Dan P: check this out.

There is always two channels that have modeling there if you want to use them. I did at first,but now I just "0' everything out and just adjust my hi,low's and mids to where I want them and use pedals. I know a couple of people that used a Small 4-6 channel board and try to plug into two Bose ,like stereo. That sounds like crap. most people who don't like them don't know how to use them! Like I said we have three of them and I've played to crowds of 6000 people with no trouble! Yet I can play load in a club and not have to worry about the sound bouncing off the walls!
