bizzwriter Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Surprised no one has PSA'd this from the Gear Page yet. Anyhoo, here's the ultimate accessory for any dedicated Cheap Trick fan (and it can be yours for just $5,500) -- no affiliation, don't have the pink slip, it ain't mine... This amp was used by Rick Nielsen between 1978-1982 as one of Rick's main amps. This was one of the amps he used at Budokan!!! It has been moded (as all of Rick's amps are). The amp shows signs of road use, as you can see. There is Velcro on the front of this. Rick would have checkerboard covers that would go over the amps during some shows. The "SR" on the top stands for "Stage Right." Now Cheap Trick would number all of their gear. This was piece #10 (as seen on the side of the amp). This way they would load in and out the same time, and also be able to check off to make sure they had everything. From what he told me, it has been recapped. Few other "standard" Rick mod's, extra tone stack. Beyond that he couldnt remember what else has been done to it. It now has a Master Volume, it had a fan at one point installed, that is now not installed. This amp is LOUD, even with the Master Volume. Comtrols are (from left to right): Polarity - Power - Standby, Presence - Bass - Middle - Treble - Volume 1 - Volume 2. Tesla E34L Tubes, and a mix of Groove Tubes for the preamp tubes. I do not know what the jacks are on the back. This is a 200w Super Lead (according to the Serial Number). Serial number is SL/A 1143F. 1974 Marshall Super Lead. Letter to the buyer for authenticity signed by Rick. If you want any other Authenticity just let me know, I'm sure Rick would oblige (within reason). $5500 Shipped/Insured for TGP only. Cashier Check Only, Paypal ONLY if you pay the Fees.

RoyB Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Very cool amp, but it's not a 200 watter. The 200 watt Major was a very different sized box and it's serial would have started with A/ not SL/A. The SL/A stands for Super Lead (100 watt). All that aside it's still a piece of history and cool as can be, but getting the description all mixed up may run off some buyers.
