Hamer95USA Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hey guys, I'm interested in buying this amp in Oregon: Crate amp The seller doesn't want to ship to me. Is there anyone in the HFC located in the Oregon that can pay the seller, pick up the amp, and send it out to me? I would be willing to pay for the amp, shipping cost, and gas for the trouble.

duncans Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It'd probably cost that much to ship it. I bought a 1x12 empty combo cabinet, it's in transit from GA. Cost the guy $93 to South Dakota. Don't know if he's making any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 What's the attraction? Is it the 6V6 quad tube power section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since no one is interested in helping me buy the amp, here’s some information about it. The amp is designed by Lee Jackson in the 1990’s for Crate. It’s basically a 3 channel all tube 50 watt amp head that runs on a quartet of 6V6 power tubes. The overdrive rhythm/lead channel has a hot rodded Marshall tone similiar to a JCM 800. The clean channel has 3 band EQ and can cover the clean tube tone. The 2 button footswitch switches between clean & overdrive and accesses the lead channel. There’s also. a 50 watt 1x12 tube amp combo that was built in the product line as well. The 100 watt head version runs on a set of EL-34 power tubes.

Carl.B Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Would he take a electronic form of payment? My brother in-law who seems to do most of his shopping on e-bay and craigslist who has used Uber I think to pick an item up and drop it off at Fed-Ex they do all the packing of it and ship it to him.

The seller didn't want to accept any electronic form of payment or meet me halfway. Thank you for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hbom Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Lately I cringe at the thought that someone might see something on The Internet and ask me to get it and ship it for them. I've done it in the past and usually am happy to help. BUT NOT THIS YEAR!!! Way too many shipping problems with the 3 majors for me to want to ship anything of import to anyone for any reason.

I ended up not buying the Crate Stealth amp head due to distance and the seller's unwillingness to ship & receive electronic payment. I'm kind of glad it didn't work out. I'm suspecting that the amp might have been stolen or I show up and get robbed. Guitar George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
