Cool amp, Jon! Perfectly suited for an idiot like me; two inputs, Volume and Tone. Looks to be in really good shape, too. Didja ever find out what was going on as per our PM?

It's a real shame that Vox dosen't make bass amps anymore. I got to try out a T-60 amp in Minnesota a few years ago when I was on the road. It had a great tone and was pretty loud for it's size. If I could have had a place to store it on the tour bus, I would have bought it.
I recently went back to playing a Rickenbacker bass. Its like meeting an old friend again

Years ago I had a friend who had a 60s T-60 with original solid state head. He sold the whole thing for 80 bucks.

I've had an Essex with trolley for about 15 years, it's pretty cool but I don't really use it anymore.

I bought a new T-60 a few years ago. It has a 12" speaker and a high frequency horn in it. Real nice tone and it's easy to carry around because it doesn't weigh that much. I love that Vox vintage look too. To bad they have been discontinued.

Gary at North Coast Music is making repro T-60 cabs with the 12" and 15" speaker configuration as well as the T-100 with 2X15"s. Anyone have an experience with either one of these? I'm curious.
