elliephant Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]I am not a bassist. My mum bought me an electro-acoustic guitar a couple of years ago. She was also sold an amplifier which I have never needed. I recently bought a PA system and definitely no longer have use for this amp which I have never used. So, I decided it was time to sell it. However, the make is Commodore which I had never heard of before. So, I did a little Google search for Commodore and all that came up was bass guitars. The amp is a Commodore Stage 50b. Can anyone tell me a bit about this amp? I've managed to find that it's a bass amp but that's about the only thing I know about it. Is Commodore a good make? How much do you think I should charge? Like, I said, I've never used the amp and it's in perfect condition.[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I've never heard of them I'm afraid - basses or amps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Quick google suggets Japanese 1970s brand. There's an ebay sale in Oz for a Yamaha bass and one of these amps that went for £89, so I don't think its worth much. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Commodore was a very cheap entry level brand. Made in Japan I think and simply re-branded by a UK importer as Commodore. I don't think it's worth a huge amount I'm afraid. I saw a lead guitar version for sale at £25 on Gumtree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looking online for other makes using the 'Stage' model name I've found a series sold under the brand name Johnson - here http://www.sonic.net/~thelink/amps/amps_2.html Does it look anything like the Stage 50 Bass Amp? If so then that has a new list price of $130 so I guess secondhand and in good condition it might be worth about £40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 There was one listed on [url="http://aloewood54.rssing.com/chan-23797812/all_p271.html"]Gumtree[/url] for £40. I'm guessing it's a 50W 1980s model that will have been sold under various brand names, so that price would be about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
