Evans FET500 - More Pix and a Bonus Item!

Post by Joanna Pashdag »

Here are some additional pix of the Evans FET 500 Custom LV I have for sale. The gray color is accurate - the others look blue because I took them with a flash.

This amp is all original. S/N is 8788.

It has the original 15" Eminence speaker - not sure what model the speaker is, but Scot at Evans says he's "99% sure" it's 4ohm. On the front, there's Master Volume, Reverb, Depth switch, Expand switch, Bass, Body, Treble, Volume, FX in/out jacks, and two Input jacks. On the back is the Power switch, Ext. Speaker jack, and Pre-Amp Out jack with an attenuator dial. Weight is 48 lbs. I think I may have the cover for it, but I can't promise.

It's in mint condition. I think it's worth $400 plus actual shipping and packing, AND I'll throw in the Presonus Tubepre (a small preamp with one 12AX7 tube) that I've been using to give it a little tube warmth. I can deliver this in the greater San Francisco Bay Area or between SF and Sacramento for $25.

Thanks!

Not sure what speaker is in there, but it's not the original Eclipse speaker that was issued in the Evans. May want to look a bit closer. These are great amps!

Looks like an Eminence Deltalite from the back. I have a couple of these and they are good sounding speakers, and really lightweight.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

I looked again and found the following numbers on the speaker cone - 451556.11 - if that means anything. Below that are three additional numbers which I can't make out.

I agree it looks something like the Deltalite, so I suppose it could be. I've had the amp for about 3 years, so I can't be certain the speaker hadn't been changed - since Evans couldn't tell me which speaker they had been using at that time, other than that they were by Eminence, I assumed it was original. I'm sorry if that was wrong.
