-I played through a vintage Masco Amp at church last night. Using my vintage shure bullet built by Greg H. Great warm tone was very impressive. With the volume up it gave every thing I wanted and never fed back once. Then the pastor offered to sell it. I would love a bargain but don't want to embarrass myself. He did not give a price but he also owns a music store. The amp looks in good condition. 5 watt with 6 inch Alnaco magnet speaker. He installed 3 New/Old stock tubes. 6V6-- 7F7-- 6X5GT (he's a guitar player). There is 2 jack inputs ( 1/4 ). Volume control gets loud and dirty. The Pastor always gives me great deals. Recently gave me a new rechargeable Crate Limo valued at $400.00. I don't want to make a stupid offer,but I have know idea where to start. Any help appreciated. P.S. I don't have pic. It does not look like Adam's 1952. All original blue shell.--------- And I Thank You !! KCz Backwoodz Bluz

Start by identifying the amp. But also, since the chap operates a music store, he should have a good idea of its worth. As he seems to be an honest fellow, there should be little risk in asking him how much he wants for it.
well, you dont want to offer $500, then. negotiations are like a dance. they have an expected structure, or protocol, that should be followed. just like christmas story, you dont jump right to the double dog dare you!
I'll try that LR. He'll probably kick me out of the band, but I'll try it. Hope it works. This is a sweet amp. ---------- And I Thank You !! KCz Backwoodz Bluz
Hope $100.00 was not to much to pay. Wow: What a great guy. I couldn't except. I paid $150.00 and was happy to do so. That amount let him purchase an amp he was looking at. Will be blowin the blues thru my Masco this Sat. nite !!! ---------- And I Thank You !! KCz Backwoodz Bluz
