I really wish I still had it. :cry: I traded it in for a new '81 4003 Jetglo...which I did not like.

Gigging with my first Rick:
Gig at Characters in New Rochelle, NY - August '81

They were really good sounding, well built amps. They were just kind of heavy and awkward for just having one handle placed on the top.
