He told me he and the band, Eddie Money, were invited to Schecter's shop in Dallas and he personally picked out the body, neck, and hardware for this bass

Dallas Shaftesbury Valve Amplifier 1962

Colchester , CO4***, UNITED KINGDOM

£466

1962 5 watt valve guitar amp
Perfect working order, no untoward issues. Lovely little amp.
Bad points are
1) lots of marks and wear from age.
2) There is an extra Master power switch and power bulb on the control panel, but these are not wired up to anything. I don't 'think' these were factory issue, so most likely explanation is the previous owner installed them but never actually wired them up.
Great little amp, does exactly what you'd expect
