Andrew — Was just looking again @ our conversation & while you disagree w/#’s this rarity(or not) has never had a correlation to worth — as Zach clearly states. It’s worth more than the $125 I paid for it 30 years ago it’s relative low worth has never been something anyone disputed.It is a great guitar/recording/studio amp that I use w/an SRC Crossover — JB
actually I’ve just looked back at Zach’s article and he says “I’ve seen reports of around 500 or so being produced.” No mention of research, so I’ll stick with my findings at least for now. Around 2500 made.
James, no disrespect to Zach but I believe he’s accidentally passing on an internet myth. However if he’s actually done research I’d be pleased to exchange info with him! best wishes…
Hey- My Bassman 20 was featured in Premier Guitar’s “Trash or Treasure” column(Feb/2014) & Zach’s (who works for “Guitar Bluebook”) research found that under 600 of these were made.@ no time did these sell for $600. The simple circuitry in these makes a great amp for recording bass & guitar. I paid $125 for mine in 1985. -Thanks-JB
I was in error. Thanks for the info! Sure sounds bigger than a 20-watt amp.
