SOLD: Fender FSR SuperSonic Twin Black Gold (Celestion Gold speakers)

edited September 2015 in Amps £

I've recently bought a Hot Rod Deville that is better suited to my current gigging needs, so am selling this beauty.

Has all the usual bells and whistles of the SuperSonic range, but comes in the limited edition black and gold livery and contains a pair of Celestion Gold drivers, themselves knocking on the door of £500 a pair to buy separately.

Lovely Fender cleans, with footswitchable 'Bassman/Vibrolux' voice and a drive channel capable of going from Tom Petty breakup to insane OTT filth.  Amp is in super condition with only a couple of minor nicks to the tolex, and comes with all paperwork, cover, footswitch (still wrapped), DIN cable for the footswitch, castors and tilt back legs.

I'd hope to achieve £695, but am open to offers and accept it will most likely be one for eBay...

Apparently only 20 of these made it to Europe (the ship would have sunk if they'd tried to load any more on), and they are Fender USA's Chuck Hall's 'favorite (sic) amp of all time', according to this comical You Toob demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBHDXHmFfWM

Shop new price was an incredible £1,909, and specs are available here - http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-fsr-super-sonic-twin-combo-black-gold/69070

    Wow StefB that is a beauty...I don't normally get excited about Fender amps but this (and a Hot Rod deluxe in surf green a few mths back but I bottled it) are the only ones to do so. 

    Would you interested in say up to £400 maybe £500 cash plus some trade items or whatever.

    How controllable is this at home levels using that club 25w setting ?

    Cheers

    Possibly @bazxkr - what sort of trade options would you offer up?

    At home levels the 25w setting doesn't make much difference to be honest - you need to crank it up and get the output valves working to appreciate the lower wattage setting.  That said, it sounds great at home volumes anyway, even on the 100w setting and has excellent tapers on the volume pots.

    It's a beauty of an amp for sure.

    Yes, sure.  I still have the box I received it in.  It isn't the original Fender box, but is robust enough for couriering.
