Dr504 1979 value

Hi folks, Well, Im thinking about selling my DR504, locally to a good friend. It's a 1979. 2 input of course. It was heavily modified and I brought it back to stock specs. It had a tube-buffered FX loop w/leve pot, which I removed. The holes are filled with "metal paste" and covered with t...

Re: 80s Fane, any good ?

To conclude this discussion, I bought the cab, I am more than happy with it.. an amazing cab/tone. I love the Fane "bark" and voicing. Stellar. See my post on Reissue board.

Re: 80s Fane, any good ?

I already tried to go lower than 400$ and it was impossible. Did the $400 include the cab? If so, that seems like a good price. Then again, that Mojo cab sounds like a deal, too. Decisions, decisions :? . Dave Of course, cab included. All original. Front-loaded speakers. A LA412 cab, some say they ...

Re: 80s Fane, any good ?

I think the 80's Fanes are probably fine, but think the $400 may a bit on the high side. Assuming it is a local sale, I can't imagine there are a lot of people lining up near Chicoutimi, Quebec to buy them ... try 300 and see where you get. Good deals do come along if you are willing to wait. j I a...

80s Fane, any good ?

Hello, what's the general opinion or what can you tell me about 80's Fane speakers ? I can put a hand on a quad of 80s Fane, 125816 model, all bbq-black finish, 75w. Probably some Hiwatt Legend w/o labels or something. Do you think they deliver that classic Fane vibe or I should stick with something...

Re: Bright channel vs. Y-cord

I like the fuller tone of the normal channel... but usually I use the bright channel with my LP and the Y cable with my strat/tele, gives nice & addictive mids (kinda "hollow"!!) that I like.
