Hi everyone,

Full album of pics here:

Selling my Feb 2003 made Bogner Ecstasy 101b head. Fantastic amp from a period when they were still using Mercury Magnetics transformers. Serial K-ΔO aka #1026. From Bogner when I emailed for date/service history shortly after buying it in 2019.

"Hi Jeff,
The K means 1000, so #1026 made February 2003 EL34 model with A/AB option, we don't have any record that the amp was back at our place.
Regards,
j o r g"

Amp is in good condition, but a previous owner used some kind of marker to put their live settings around every control, both front and back. I did some work to clean it off, in some cases resulting in some lettering around the controls getting messed up (show in pictures, it's really not that bad), but the marker is still visible in some places - particularly on the back. The footswitch cable has also had the jack wrapped in gaff tape to keep the cable from pulling out of the sleeve; this was a quick solution rather than soldering the multi-pin connector, which can be a real pain to work with. This didn't bother me, but is worth mentioning.

Comes with a Winged C EL34 quad, ARS 12ax7s save for one JJ. I have all of the original white knobs as well. Class A/AB switch, 1/2 + Full power switch, and Old/New style switch included on this one.

Asking $3000 shipped CONUS via Zelle, ACH, cashiers check, or money order. Pickup available in Portland, OR for a bit less. No trades at this time.

I know this is a simple thing that someone could change very easily, but I think if you could put the original white chicken head knobs back on the amp in your listing it would attract more interest. Silly I know, but some people would pass on a otherwise killer amp because of something as simple as that.

Just a thought as somebody should pick this up!
 
Word, I might do that and appreciate the comment -- the listing does state that the OG white knobs are included, but folks might not be reading that far after seeing the fisher price color scheme. Way easier to navigate the amp this way, especially when it's in a studio setting and you're bouncing between lots of other amps, but it does look a little funny for sure.
