Title: Fender LT50 going for a ride
Post by: saturated on May 17, 2023, 11:04:39 AM
im gonna see if the small shop will take it back (let me donate it, not sell it back)
if not I will try to get a lowball offer from GC

it is like new, bought it in 2020....nice amp i enjoyed it but I have too much stuff and it has been on CL for a while at ridiculously low price...with not one inquiry.

its easy to have scorn for this new stuff but i did play the heck out of it

I know one thing though some people are really good at dialing i  different presets...and some arent....(raises hand)

nevertheless...i had some cool presets with corny names...

Blizzard Lead

Faces Losing You

Pretenders

Enthralled  (named for Pat Thrall)

and some others i cant recall atm

it had a nice built in tuner though

 :)

You could always throw it in the Swapmeet (https://www.ssguitar.com/index.php?board=9.0) section here.

yes sir I certainly did consider paying it forward so one of the members here could enjoy it but even for a little amp it was pretty heavy and I figured shipping $$ would get out of hand.
I definitely will consider that in the future I have tons of smaller stuff that people might want.

when I was at the music store I was drooling over this MIM strat

but was able to leave without it... :)

I have been given some cheaper practice amps and beginner amps that needed some small repairs over the years, usually just a good clean of the pots and jacks got them working.
I ordered new pots and new jacks for these to make them reliable.

I think most local schools would love them for the young kids in the music department.

Also, charity type thrift stores or youth drop-in centres would probably appreciate it.
