We don't get to see many Rickenbacker amps here in the UK. Just wondered what this one is? Is it any good? thanks

Looks like a TR50B to me, I've seen a few for sale here in the UK usually for £150-£200 for a clean example. £400 is rather optimistic for one in that condition (so is £200 come to that!).

Wow, never knew about all these amps. How do they compare with the competition?

I have a few Rickenbacker amps, I like them a lot. Great clean sound and you can carry them with one hand! I wouldn't pay that amount for one in that condition though. I have picked up minters for £120-£150 in the past, just gotta be in the right place at the right time.

Thanks Peter. Also just read the thread about new ebay listings. Doesn't look good to me....

No Bob, I'm getting a load of email grief from people who won't bid because they think it is a scam that I am doing!
