BADFISH · March 15th, 2004, 01:18 PM

one of these victoria amps just turned up for $1200...... It's in Great shape, no real wear or tears. it was made in 2001. it has the "jensen" speakers (p10R)
what do you think? I am able to buy it, I just want a good deal. any one have good/bad experience with these victoria amps? any and all views would be great.

great amp...awful speakers.

BADFISH · March 15th, 2004, 02:28 PM

I have heard by many that the new "Reissue" jensens fall very short of the older speakers. the cool thing is .. I have two Weber A100's (p10r) laying around. I have also been told a weber A125 (Q) is great for this amp. I may end up trying to get a little extra "speaker headroom" and use the A125 or A150? my webers (A100) just Crunch so fast. But I'll give them a try along with the Reissue Jensens, If I buy this amp.

Does the price look right?

Regardless of the speakers, YES !!!
By all means go for it, that is a great deal on one of the
very best Amplifiers around PERIOD.
Do you play Blues ?
If you do, you've got one of the best circuits in history.

I was second highest bidder on this amp......
I'm having a bad case of bidder's remorse. Let me know if you pass.

Oh man, a Vicky Bandmaster with Ted's Qs would be badass. Fantastic blues machine for the clubs. No pedals required.

BADFISH · March 15th, 2004, 05:51 PM

I really paid $1,150 for it... Shipping will be about $50.00? I'm into 50's style music (Rockabilly, blues etc).... so this amp should nail it.
I called up the current owner(before purchase)... This amp is 100% perfect working order.... AND 100% ORIGINAL. He did just retube the amp (with tubes he received from Mark, at Victoria)

I have a good amount of experience with Black and Brown face Fender's ( My amp now is a "Brownface" Band-Master) my amp before that was a "Blackface" band-master. so this tweed will be a whole new direction.

I think you will be happy with it.I recently got thier version of the bassman off of e-bay,for 1500.1150 is a good price for your amp.Have fun with it.

(Sorry for the caps!)
My #1 amp...I cant find a bad sound in it. (Honestly!)

Mine is a few years old, and has mojos. Heaven!
Use it in the best of health & happiness!
