Medhb Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 OMG! I'm freaking out. My husband just came home for lunch and he said he was uptown and saw this in the store window. He thought "Wow! Great timing, I'd get that for 'Medhb' for mothers day for a few hundred bucks" When he told me that I started laughing. He said guess what the opening bid is, I guessed 40k. Well, it's opening at 30k. What the HELL is this doing in my little music store and how did it get there?! I NEED THIS ITEM! Ahahhahahah!!! Jimmy's Gear Jimmy's Metamp Lead 200 I'm thinking burglery is not a 'deadly' sin Does anyone have any background about how this might have shown up here in lil ole NJ? Quote
Medhb Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 For sure I'm going to get up there and get a pic of me with it Quote
Wolfman Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 What town is this in? I live in NJ and would love to look at it. No way I could it though. Quote
Medhb Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 What town is this in? I live in NJ and would love to look at it. No way I could it though. That just gave me a brilliant stupid idea, anyone from NJ that is interested, how fun would it be to all get together and oggle the amp, LOL!! Wolfman, it is in the music store in Rutherford NJ.

BonzoLikeDrumer Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Alright, I'm not trying to bug any one here but, is this true? I've heard stories about thing's like this being scams, I don't know for sure. I would not do this deal unless there was some real prof in the mix! I mean, I would have to talk with some one in the know that would be trust worthy, if not see (in person) Mr. Page himself giving an endorsement! We're not just talking about a regular factory fresh piece of equipment. Quote
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 This is really cool. I wish I had that kind of money though. haha Quote
Medhb Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 No bids yet I'm going to drop by and look at it today ; ) Maybe they'll let me touch it Quote
led zep maniack Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 No bids yet I'm going to drop by and look at it today ; ) Maybe they'll let me touch it 30,000 starting bid???? little steep to me good luck with him hope somebody bids but I think he's dreaming. Quote
Achilles Last Stand Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 thats what he used for his Theremin. Quote
huw Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 thats what he used for his Theremin. Bingo! The smart money has it that Page never even plugged a guitar into that amp. The Oranges were (a) set up with his theramin rig, or ( on the other side of the stage as part of JPJ's rig. There's been a lot of talk about this particular amp on the net recently, and nobody is falling over themselves to buy it, for the reasons stated above... Quote

YOU ARE CORRECT AND ANYBODY WITH HALF A BRAIN AINT GONNA PAY 30 GRAND EITHER. I'LL BUY A DECENT CAR WITH THAT OR A GOOD DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOUSE. THE GUY SELLING THIS IS DREAMING. Quote
eternal light Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) You should put a bid on it if you want it even if it is only $5.00, just in case you are the only bidder. Not that he would let it go for $5.00. Edited May 20, 2009 by eternal light Quote
BonzoLikeDrumer Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Don't think it was part of John Paul Jone's bass rig, most likely it was over on his side of the stage so he could hear what Page was playing. Quote

THE GUY SELLING THIS IS DREAMING. Well, a guy with a whole brain and 30k bought it. Just because Jimmy only used if for his theramin doesn't diminish it's value at all to me. Buyers choice. My music store guy plugged his Les Paul into it and played STH. He said it is LOUD!!! He'd never heard anything so loud. Quote
eternal light Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 It appears that he may have found the right buyer if he lowered the selling price from the opening bid. Quote
Medhb Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 It appears that he may have found the right buyer if he lowered the selling price from the opening bid. One bid only, it sold for the starting bid of 30k Quote
eternal light Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 One bid only, it sold for the starting bid of 30k Oh, I see, I glanced at 40 and then reread the post. At any rate, he seems to have found the right buyer. Of course, if the economy were stronger there probably would have been several bids spiraling upward. Quote
SteveAJones Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Does anyone have any background about how this might have shown up here in lil ole NJ? Is there no Letter of Provenance with this item? Jimmy used an Orange amp when he toured with the Black Crowes in 2000. Quote
Rorer714 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Is there no Letter of Provenance with this item? Jimmy used an Orange amp when he toured with the Black Crowes in 2000. Somebody has been watching too much Antiques Roadshow! I've seen them (Orange amps) here in this two-bit no-good town.They're a dime a dozen! Just like good guitarists! Think about it. Quote
SteveAJones Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I've seen them (Orange amps) here in this two-bit no-good town.They're a dime a dozen! That's because ya'll don't have much electricity up in those hills! As a by the way, I always ensure I get a Letter of Provenance to accompany my rarest acquisitions. Quote

I agree with you steve it may be from a later time. Anyway 30 grand is still way to much to pay for it. Quote
Hotplant Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Forgive me but I'm compelled Regardless where he had it plugged or not...Cool pic Medh!!!! Quote

With technology being the way it is today,one would need a letter of provenance for the letter of provenance.I wouldn't trust much of what's out there unless it came from the source...I wonder how many of your acquisitions are fake Stevie,you seem like a gullible fellow. By the way Medhb, that is a very cool pic of you and the gear!!! Sorry to derail your thread a bit. Quote
