MUSICMAN 112 RP 65 WATT 1980s VALVE AMP

Condition
Very good condition for its age — especially impressive for an amp over 50 years old. There is a small tear in the front grille cloth (pictured) and some tarnishing on the metal corners, but overall this amp has been well cared for and is in great working order. Plays really well. Includes original leather cover. Original speaker, which just has a USA sticker on it.

Overview
Built in the USA and full of vintage character, the Music Man 112 RP 65 is a solid gigging combo from the golden era of amps. Made in Anaheim, California during the early 1980s, this hybrid amp combines the punch and headroom of a solid-state preamp with the warmth of a valve power section, delivering legendary tone with plenty of muscle.

This 1x12" combo is incredibly versatile — equally at home delivering sparkling cleans or rich, driven tones. With two channels (Normal and Reverb), switchable inputs for Hi and Lo gain, and onboard 3-band EQ, it’s perfect for blues, rock, jazz and country alike. A true player’s amp, made to last.
