[Harp-L] RE: Gibson BR-6 amp

[Rusty Wilson <harpoon_man@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was the previous owner of Rick's Gibson BR-6.  I had this amp for probably 5 years and used it as part of my gig rig (along with a mic'ed Champ) for a long time.  Also used it in the studio.  The tone was great, and particularly magical when paired with my CM green bullet.  I am sure this amp is now much more comfortable and pampered at Bruno's house than it was at mine!
 
Btw, Rick was a great guy to deal with on the amp sale, and I would not hesitate to do another transaction with him in the future.
