    Ouch! What was this guy thinking??!! It might be a sweet deal if you only care about the sound, but the sound of this guy and the amazing "sold as-is" comment in the auction, I wouldn't be surprised if he mistreated the amp badly in other ways, so I'd stay away from this for sure!!!

    Ugh!

    Hey the back & bottom were left unpainted, i.e., was to lazy to do it all. :hee Besides it doesn't effect the sound :rl Surprisingly this person has a roadcase to protect that beautiful sponge sheen.

    Bet this guy could work wonders with tweed ;)

    I'm starting to like this young JPage. Any 16 year old who gags at the the sight of a birdshit colored amp is OK with me. I think the guy who did this flew over the cuckoo's nest!

    Cripes! 34 buds and up to $350 ? And with an input jack that's probably nearly busted if it's been used without a nut on it.

    What are these people smoking?

    My friends always make fun of me because the three weeks after I got my Led Zeppelin DVD I had watched it 8 times... and it's about 9 hours long if you watch all the interveiws (Which I did, naturally.) And to this day I blame Jimmy Page for my addiction to the electric guitar. :hee

    In that case, he must've been playing something really awful if the bird went and got his buddies to go shit all over the guys amp. !

    It's almost certainly stripped. I had one go bad on a blues deville 'cause the engineers saved some bucks using nylon for the threads on the input jack. I guess they figured since the jack was board-mounted it would be strong enough. Soon, the nut and washer wouldn't stay on and the jack was getting wobbly.
    Be that as it may, I was able to get the correct part and re-solder it on without too much difficulty...but for $350 + this guy is trolling for chumps and finding some.
