I need to downsize my rig as I am no longer in an ear-bleeding rock & roll band, but now and old fat married guy who has a 40 lb. permanent lifting restriction due to spine fusion surgery. Besides, my wife won't let me play in the house at proper volume to adequately drive the tubes (go figure) Would at least like some input as to what this rig is worth. It's in great condition, and a "one owner" to boot.

Too late - I traded this rig off for a Fender Princeton 65 DSP. Sounds great with my Strat.

The recent-vintage solid-state "Dyna-Touch" Fenders sound GREAT with a Strat! I have a Fender Ultra-Chorus (non-DSP, stereo chorus) that sounds VERY lush with my Strat. It weighs little more than 1/2 of what a 212 Music Man weighs.

However, even though it is rated at 65 watts x 2 it doesn't keep up with a live band the way my mono Music Man 410-65 will! The MM amp is simply stronger and ballsier in a live situation.

That's exactly the reason I needed to downsize, besides the bad back and all. In order to get the proper sound out of a 130 watt head with 2 115RH 65 bottoms I would end up needing to replace all the windows in my house every time I played!

In so far as a live situation, the pre-amp out will work nicely for plugging directly into the band's main sound board with all of the gain and effects plus whatever foot pedals I'm using.
