FS: 1974 Fender Vibro Champ

What's Hot
1974 Vibro Champ, original UK voltage model. Very nice little amp with lovely tremolo, perfect for home use/recording. Although I have used it in a band though a 2x12 bass cab which sounded pretty lively.

The speaker's been upgraded to a Jensen P8R alnico. Last service was about 18 months ago at PMT Birmingham. Recently the tremolo's been playing up a bit - takes a while to kick in after the amp's turned on and sometimes makes a 'thump' or ticking noise in time with the rate when it's on, so that'll want looking at, otherwise all seems fine. Cosmetically the covering's a bit tatty at the corners as seen in the pictures, not peeling off though, and there's a bit of rust on the handle.

£350 plus postage or can be collected in Birmingham.

    Dibs. Been looking for one of these since I sold my Champ (also had a Jensen P8R put in it)

  • Wow, that looks great and I bet it sounds amazing! If I had the spare cash I'd be all over that.

    I have one of these.  They're great little amps, point to point hand wired loveliness for a bargain price.  Have a bump.
    No Darling....I've had that ages.
