I just bought one this afternoon, from 1962, it sounds incredible, with guitar and bass! Mine is the rare version with the 6G12-A tremolo circuit that produces some true vibrato along with the tremolo, too cool!!!

Nice score! A friend of mine has a brown Pro (6G5) from that era. Those tremolos are something special.

A couple of quick photos I did this evening; look past the dust, I have not cleaned the amp up yet after it having sat in a store for a few years. I am having too much fun playing through it!

Nice grab Jeff! Congrats! Going to add some 6 string work to the show?

I'd like to but probably not. I do plan on using this for bass, though; I want to get a matching headcase made to put the chassis in to use with my bass cabs.

Looks practically new. Nice snag, Jeff.

I am trying to find out the history of this amp; I found a service tag from a guy in Buffalo. I have a message in to him so I can see if he remembers (hopefully, he keeps a service record of his work) the amp and what he did with it.

THE best amp vibrato ever bar none! Nice score Jeff!

Yep, this vibramolo is really wild in how it handle harmonics, I only with it could go slower, probably a very simple circuit change to enable that to happen, to adjust the range of the oscillator behavior.

Cool amp Jeff all you need now is talent.

Nice score on the amp, Jeff !!
Are those Mojo brand speakers replacements or originals ? Are they 10s or 12s ?

Oh, yes. Brings to mind my 1-15" '62 Pro. Fabulous amps!

I've been a Concert 4X10" enthusiast since I heard my first one back in '64...Yours is the best configuration ever, JS. Congrats!

There was a bag in the bottom of the cabinet with talent in it. Not that I need any, really.

The 10" MojoTone MP10-Rs are replacements, that apparently have been long discontinued; I think they were only made in the '90s, so they are close to being vintage, themselves. They are probably more reliable than having and using the original Jensen P10-Rs in the amp and, they sound great, too.

From what I gather many of these amps were pretty similar with just minor changes in the power amp section and the speaker complement. I bet a Pro would sound even better than this for bass, although this amp is no slouch.

I absolutely love the "Vibremolo®" . It is such an interesting variation on the tremolo in my Princeton Reverb Amp, given it's F.M. along with the A.M., so to speak.
