Electric Guitars and amps for sale

These are instruments I'm not using, and all work perfectly, and are
in good to perfect shape. I just find that my collecting and building
habit got the best of me, and I have to reduce the number of guitars I
have to make some room. I'll consider any reasonable offer, or trade
for other interesting items. I could really use the money, so please
look. They could make great gifts for someone special.

Acoustic 150 amplifier, 150 watts. Lots of power, and a good sounding
amp, The tone is not the super clean normal transistor tone, gets a
little dirty, distorts pretty well. Good basic amp for guitar or bass,
could be a good mono slave for a PA. $150 obo, or trade. Works well
with 2-12" cab below.

nice, steel corners & grills, black paint, heavy duty castors. $150
obo / trade

4 space rack with ART SGE mach II effects unit, Crate XLP preamp and
Crate SPA 200 power amp. I'd used it for guitar for a while as a head
running 2 speaker cabs. The XLP has stereo outputs, 2 channel high and
low gain, reverb, chorus. effects loop, lots of connections, foot
switch. The ART has really good effects aside from the distortion, the
delays and reverbs are very good, also has good vocal effect patches,
200 savable effect combinations. The SPA 200 put out 200 watts rms @ 4
ohms bridged, 100 watts each @ 4 ohms stereo, and 60 watts a side at 8
ohms stereo. I used it at the 60 watt stereo mainly, it's nice for
getting those stereo echo effects and wider chorus sounds. I'd like
$500 for the whole thing, or I'll separate parts, trade.

Peavey 2-12" PA mid cabinet, wired 16 ohm, probably handles around 100
watts RMS, has a big port like for folded horns, so it's the size of a
4 x 12 cabinet. I'd used it for guitar, works fine. $100 / trade

2-12" lensed cabinet, no drivers, would be a mid cab for a big PA,
very directional, can get really loud depending on drivers used. It's
coated in fiberglass, black, sessions style metal hardware, heavy duty
castors. $75/trade

Memphis/custom, recently finished one out of some odd parts, it's a
bright red finish Memphis brand neck, a big thick but straight one
with LP style headstock, on a relatively small body painted gold. It's
not a glossy finish, it 's more stippled, and evenly textured, matte
with a semi-transparent highly reflective layer. It's got sealed
tuners, a humbucker with Guild style 3 screw mounting and chrome
cover, an old Harmony single coil from the 60's with a nice
strat-like sound, 3 way toggle, volume and tone, aluminum knobs, side
jack, Teisco stop tailpiece and roller bridge. The action is low, and
it plays beautifully. $150 obo, trade, has cloth gig bag. Light weight.

Bass, Gold body paint same as Memphis, unknown neck with 3/1 headstock
small MOP inlays, 30" scale, thin, straight, low action, 4 string, EMG
Jazz bass and Barcus Berry pickups, one ea. Volume and tone, 3 way
switch. Low action, plays good, nice, $200 obo, trade.

Compact, works well. $75 obo. Or trade.

I've got 3 guitars that are somewhat oddball things I built, they play
OK, could be good for a student as starter guitars.
#1 is a cheap black bolt neck BC Rich Warlock that I rebuilt, made a
maple neck to fit the 24 fret 24.75" scale, Schaller/Duncan pups,
Strat style trem.
#2 is a Strat/Charvell style, 1 X2N pickup with coil tap, 2 point
Strat style bridge, sealed tuners, very thin wide neck, low action,
plays really well.
#3 is one I made for a friend using a 12 string 20 fret neck he
supplied, "A" shaped maple and mahogany butcher block style body,
Badass stop tailpiece bridge, Gibson and DiMarzio pups, Grovers. I
used really good pickups and other parts on these, and the parts are
probably worth more separately than I'm asking for the entire guitar.
Check them out, make an offer. I've been thinking they could go for
around $100 ea. OBO, trade.

PA speakers, 2 pair. 3 way single 15" rated 150 watts rms @ 8 ohms, /
2 way 15" rated 200 watts RMS @ 8 ohms. Home made but solid, look
good, steel corners, grilles, gloss black paint, set up for extension
in parallel with 1/4" connectors. $500 obo for all, will separate,
trade. Could be an excessive machine for home stereo.

I recently built a small 4 x 8" cabinet because I found a few
commercial 8" speakers and just wanted to see how it would work. It
sounds pretty good, but I figure the drivers will probably only handle
about 10 - 15 watts each, so the whole cabinet will only handle about
40 - 60 watts, and you should really limit it to 40 or less just to
be safe. I used it with my Marshall 50 watt amp to about 50% volume,
sounded sweet. Open back. I'm looking for strap handles for it, and no
corners yet, black paint, 2 jack cup/parallel $40 OBO, trade.

I'm in Joliet IL, west side. Remember, I'll take trades for other
items too, will consider anything interesting. It doesn't have to be
musical. I'm particularly interested in a laptop/desktop computer,
hand percussion; especially congas or a larger djembe, a Gibson
Blueshawk; preferably somewhat trashed so I can modify it with a strat
trem bridge,, other good effects, a really good sounding 5 watt tube
amp, good audio drivers, film or digital photographic stuff -
particularly a 35mm film scanner; 35mm and 120 B&W film, processing
chemicals, DSLR. Metalworking, stone/lapidary or woodworking tools –
mainly could use a larger radial arm saw metalworking lathe or mill.
High MPG economy pickup truck/van. I'd also swap a couple of
interesting broken or beat guitars for one of these, or a collection
of good parts. 815 726 2220.
