I had an extremely rare one of these on black and biscuit covering which i eventually sold for £500 to a guy in Holland because few folk believed it had it's original tolex covering.......but it WAS completely original.

Gust0o Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, it's not selling and they're busy declining offers, so perhaps it's [i]not [/i]worth that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 If it hasn't sold, it isn't worth that much... yet. But if you have to buy one, maybe that is the best price you can get one for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkpegasus4001 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well it's had two offers yet there's another on Ebay UK with a buy it now for £1,195 and not sold. Here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Watkins-Dominator-Vintage-/350549197693?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item519e5c437d I guess my point is that there's a hell of a lot of valve amps out there, this is very old, low powered (17watts), are they really worth that much money? maybe they are then?

Mr. Foxen Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Low powered is a bonus for the purposes of the sort of people who spend lots of money on old guitar amps. It is nostalgia to an extent. Guitar equipment is 90% mojo and 11% snake oil, because you have to have 1% more for the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
