How to trade guitars and gear...trading for a Fender Vibrolux Reverb Custom Reissue

If you're a guitar player, you've bought gear. If you've owned guitars, you've probably sold gear, but most guitar players are scared of trading instruments.
This week I traded my Stratocaster for a Fender Vibrolux Reverb.
In this video I explain why you should trade gear, when you should and how to create the deal to help people on both sides get a fair shake.

I do think its funny going over safety under the bridge by the railroad tracks, love that tele!

[@JeremySheppard]

It’s so true. Whoops. This is right downtown, I forgot my ND Filter and it was too bright everywhere else.

[@Ashton-mx2bg]

@@JeremySheppard cracked me up, great video as always!

[@gezor20]

weird place for a Starbucks 😁

[@truevintageguitar]

My experience with trades has been very similar: most of the time they just don’t make sense. I’m stoked you found one that worked! I’ve found that if you want something that a friend has, assume you’ll need to trade just a little more from your end to get what you want. It shows that you value the friendship more than money. That amp sounds killer! Thanks for sharing the info Jeremy! 🙌

[@cmikesmith664]

Rule 1, don’t meet someone under the bridge next to the train tracks. 🤐

[@JeremySheppard]

Hahahah. I forgot my ND filter and it was too bright where I wanted to shoot the video. Thanks for watching!

[@cmikesmith664]

Jeremy Sheppard, great video. I really enjoyed it. 👍👍

[@UnremarkableMarx]

Some nice riffs here!! I have this amp. It's a treat. Hope you're still likin' yours.

[@rossjason4662]

5:57 that’s the Binging with Babish background music lmao

[@JeremySheppard]

That’s hilarious. Didn’t notice that, I love Babish.

[@jimcastillo8950]

Hey Jeremy, dont know if you still own the amp but I bought one too years ago. I wasnt really happy with it. It sounded a little sterile to me and didnt have the warmth tone. When I open up the amp it had a circuit board which I was disappointed. It was not like the good old eyelet board. I ripped it out and installed an eyelet board and wired it like Fender did back in the day. I replaced transformers and installed new capacitors and resistor along with cloth wiring. Oh and nos tubes. I found that vintage tone.........

[@yaki_font]

Good trade AMAZING Tone!!!! I really dig that telecaster sounds spectacular

[@pierheadjump]

Thanks Jeremy. ⚓️

[@StandbyCymbalist]

I recently picked up a CVR amp. Just curious if you ended up keeping yours?? I love mine so far

[@davidaylsworth8964]

Traded an old refractor telescope and eyepieces for an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. We were both walked away happy for the deal.

[@FuzzImp]

Nice trade up my dude!

[@jixxxxer17]

I'm thinking of buying something similar it's 1974 Vibrolux reverb amp all original , the odd thing to me is they call this a Reverb Amp but the first channel has no reverb correct ? I already have a 1981 Music Man 112 RD that is just amazing and it's a hybrid ! Great video as always enjoyed it .

[@infidel6249]

As the tubes got hotter amp sounded better.To me.cream tone.As u turned the volume up all out fuzz.Reminded me of the 70s tones i miss so much.Great amp.Good job

[@Woltide]

That sounds so good

[@Scrappalino]

Just got one a few months ago! Love the amp

[@eliyahfranson]

That amp sounds super cool!

[@ghostandbell2006]

what do Original 60s vibrolux amps go for¿

[@dustinschilling862]

I traded a fish tank for an acoustic bass one time.

[@JeremySheppard]

Not an aquatic bass?

[@dustinschilling862]

Haha. I wish I had thought of that before I posted. That would have been a great pun.

[@mook5tar]

A definite tone master and they're getting hard to find.

[@vriendelijkegroet]

I heard these amps can be very noisy, what's your take on it?

[@JeremySheppard]

It was definitely noisy but unbelievably fun to play and spanky.

[@Twizzlemenizzle1]

I'd love an amp like that

[@markcummings2344]

Sounded like a Fuzz effect when you hooked the humbuckers to it.

[@JeremySheppard]

This one got crazy.

[@skeetschuler1859]

Good deal

[@rocknrollresignation93]

Damn that amp sounds great

[@RambleTone]

Those are not the original speakers, the originals are JENSEN alnicos, but looks like someone swapped them out for what look like Vintage Jensens, maybe ceramic, so not a bad swap

[@JeremySheppard]

Thanks, Tony!

[@ryanmcdermott3604]

Stock they come with Jenson p10rs

[@arturom9145]

What websites do you recommend for trading guitars?

[@JeremySheppard]

GBase, reverb and Facebook groups.

[@mitchellhorner3898]

Woah buddy!

[@bbmade]

Interesting to hear what you think of the amp after using it for a while. I love these amps but they are noisy and have crummy Reverb. I bought one just to do the Moyer mods to. Regardless, cool amp.

[@JeremySheppard]

The reverb is pretty faint at lower volumes. Tell me about the Moyer mods.

[@bbmade]

Essentially this Mark Moyer guy went through comparing this design to the original. He came up with some mods to really quiet these amps and disconnect the reverb from the normal channel. Might be some other stuff too I’d have to look up my notes on it. I have mine in my shop to dive into as winter hits. At gigs you don’t notice any noise, at home I do.

[@LeviBulger]

The Moyer mods are a must with this amp. Btw, this is not a reissue. This was an original circuit fender did in the 90s. Since this one doesn't have reverb on the normal channel, it sounds like someone already did the mod to it. You'll know because it will hiss madly without it. And the reverb will sound extremely lush after the mod. Almost like a standalone reverb unit.

[@bbmade]

Felix Blacksher - Yes the amp hisses like crazy in the original. I think it was a Bruce Zinky design but I’d have to double check that. At a gig you don’t notice the noise and it sounds good stock. Looking forward to doing the mods to mine.

[@Teachering]

The Vibrolux Reverb Custom Reissue is a noisy, I mean noisy, amplifier. I believe the better reissue Vibrolux is the Silverface.

[@tenniswilliam]

I have a CVR 65 and I do not find it noisy - that complaint I have heard before seems overstated

[@Teachering]

@@tenniswilliam Oh, no. Nothing at all overstated in my comment. The blackface Vibrolux is a noisy amplifier.

[@markcarniato1567]

THIS AMP LACKS NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

[@JeremySheppard]

What does that mean?
