LOL
At least he answered you. Wont answer my questions about the
questionable authenticity of it. Cause it aint. Its a sham. This guy is
featured in Vintage Guitar Mag , writing a page on vintage amps. The
Chassis is nothing more than a 1950 Pro. The Cab has been made sometime
later, and certainly not by Fender. Convenient how the owners widow can't
find any bill of sale. With no other documentation stating this amp was
custom made for ???, the seller has no right to make such over the top
statements about it. I could say I have a Tweed Bassman that was once
owned by Eddie Cochran !!! Without documented proof you just can't make
such claims. And yes, why not show the Tube Chart ? And why hasn't the
Cab a Fender Logo as per the older Woodies etc, or plate stating " Custom
Built For ......?
The Chassis and Faceplate / Controls inc the unusual On/Off switch is 100%
identical to an amp listed here by member Twangbanger. It was a Wide Panel
Tweed Pro 1952/3 Transitional ( TV - Wide Panel Cab) If this seller is as he
claims an Expert on these Fender Amps, he knows this, and by him not
replying and answering my questions, he obviously has something to hide.
We are safe, at $28,500 who could / would pay that. But I'd hate to see
some poor unsuspecting
Doctor / Lawyer / Stock Broker get sucked in and
and lose that amount
Everyone should go out and make a Custom
Cab and retrofit their old Pro chassis and claim they found the "Holy Grail"
sure beats getting $2000 - 2500 for their stock TV Tweed Pro.
Below is the Pro sold by Twangbanger.
Stock '52 / 53 Transitional Pro
If you click on photo and look carefully, this chassis / Faceplate is
Identical to the so called " Missing Link " but in its period correct Tweed Cab
And Period Correct Fender Phillips Head Screws holding the chassis to
the top of the cab. Funny how the other has slot Head ???
