WTB- Fender Vibroverb '63 Brownface Reissue Combo

Harmonics72 · September 2023

Looking for a Fender Vibroverb '63 Brownface Reissue Combo - must be in good working order/ and ideally in decent cosmetic condition.
Also open to a more recent Princeton Reverb (with Brownface era cosmetics)
These came out about ten years ago and were known as the fudge brownie editions I think.
Thanks

Thanks to @Dodge for his brilliance ( pic upload).

I'm in two minds about posting this because I don't want to get your hopes up but I've got one of these (90s reissues) and it's bloody lovely. Point is - keep looking, they're worth it! I got mine through setting up alerts on eBay, so I'd recommend doing that if you haven't already done so.

I had a 90's one, I bought it solely on the brownface statement. Stone me but - I think it sounds like a slightly warmer blackface amp, I ended up going in the brownface deluxe route.
My was £700 not too long ago, a chancer put one on sale on ebay for £1500, someone paid that then boom, overnight they over doubled in value, it wouldn't surprise me if someone starts asking 2k for these amps soon

Now that is simply ridiculous

I missed out buying one that was for sale for £1300 a month or so ago.
Which is a bit more like it...

If someone buys that they'll ruin the market and every 90's Vibroverb from now on will be listed for 3k+

He's on drugs. You could probably buy an original for that.

Agreed!

I’d be staggered if that sells for the listed price. Love mine as I do, it ain’t a 4 grand amp.

You'll be nearer 18k-20k for an original.

I sold mine 2 yrs ago for 12k.

626 made, 599 in brown, 27 in blonde.

I stand corrected Sir. That's a lot of money!!

Have you considered getting @RiftAmps to make you one?
Looking at what they go for, I’d rather one hand built and hand wired by Chris

Isn't the Custom Shop mid '90s black panel one convertible to the old circuit? They go for affordable prices. The Custom Vibrolux Reverb is the name I think.

Thanks for this tip above @victorludorum .
I meant to say thanks a lot earlier

daddyash · September 2023

Have you seen the Gartone Aviator listed in the classifieds today? Might be worth a look. That’s a lot of amp for the money. No affiliation with the seller BTW.

I think there are blonde Tolex ones around too. They did a limited run I believe.
