Hi all!
I have found a advretisment of an old Music Man Combo. I'm interested in buying this amp but I'm not sure if it is a real thing. I've looked into Model Chart on this page but from information that i've found there I am almost sure that it can't be 110 RD. First of all in this amp has 12' Celestion speaker rather then 10' Music Man. I don't know if it was changed but also it has diffrent tubes from the one named 110 RD in Model Chart. The one that I want to buy has also 2 channels and it should be only 1, shouldn't it? I hope that somebody will help me to find out if it is a real Music Man or just a copy.

P.S. Sorry for my English if there was any mistakes.

That's not a MusicMan product:
The Badges are wrong;
The speaker baffle is wrong;
The rear panel is wrong;
The transformers look wrong;

This is not a musicman amp, It is made to look like one. DO NOT BUY if you want a musicman!

Yep, these guys nailed it. Almost everything about this amp says it is a poor attempt to LOOK like a Music Man amp but it definitely is NOT one!

This is the first time I have ever seen a bogus Music Man counterfeit! Since the 110RD-50 and 112RD-50 command such high prices I suppose it was only a matter of time.

Thank You a lot for help, I haven't bought it so I think I've made a good decission. I found enother offer this time it looks authentic, but I have question about Music Man amps. I know that they have great clean sound. Most of them have transistors on preamp and tubes on poweramp. I was wondering, if they have nice crunch sound. I mean somethink a bit overdriven by a booster effect like MXR Microamp or something like that. Does they work fine with that sort of effects??

The amp itself won't provide "crunch".
They are, however, very "pedal friendly" amps.

I use a Boss Blues Driver for some vintage distortion, or a Boss MetalZone for crunch.
My 210-65 handles either effect very nicely.

if you have a nice sounding overdrive/distortian pedal - the musicman amp is the best canvas

i really like my ts9 in front of it
people always comment on my tone
