Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this. I am very confused by this site although it's like being lost in Heaven. Anybody know how much an RB60 in decent comdition is worth? I've searched the internet and can't find out anything about them. I'd be glad to get any background you have too. Thanks. If this isn't the correct place to post this would someone direct me to the right place. Thanks again.

I posted this in the other parallel thread:

FWIW, I paid $65 for an RG15 amp in excellent condition (no missing knobs, etc.) in 2008. IMO, yours should be worth as much as that, if not a bit more.

Hi Gary-How can I find the correct section? I couldn't find the appraisal forum.

IIRC, the appraisal section is now an integral part of the marketplace, which you will have access to once you have accrued 30 "meaningful" posts. You will get some attention in the Amplifiers section, however, keep in mind that Rick amps are a very small part of what Rickenbacker has been about for most people, so patience is a virtue, as they say. In the meantime, get to know other sections of this great forum.

+1!

One thing I would add is that the trade in amps is a fraction of that for guitars and basses, so it's not like we can go to eBay and see what the last dozen sold for.

Hi-don't misunderstand-I own a '78 4001 that I've had since I was 13 but my friend inherited an RB60 and I told him I'd tried to find out about it for him. My bass has an active EMG jazz pickup. It growls.

Hi,
I bought an RG180 about a year and a half ago for $125. It is a guitar amp from the same series, and it's quite powerful. Sounds good too, and has some nice features. There is a post about it somewhere on this forum. I also got an RG 15 on ebay for basically the cost of shipping, about $40. I'd like to find an RB for my bass, judging by the other two I have it would be a great amp and since no one seems to care that much about these since they aren't tube amps, would probably be a good deal too.

FWIW, I saw an RG60 (the guitar version) the other day for $90.
