Have these really gone up this much or is this guy on the freaking pipe ? I could see 3k. 3500 tops because of rarity… also there is a guy selling one on reverb from Italy as well for 22k for anyone who has seen it. Again WTH?
Not much in the guitar world that I would spend 10000 plus dollars on. Guns yes.. guitars and gear no.

After seeing the X88 sell for 7K on Reverb, the X99 would definitely go for that or more since there are even fewer of those in the wild. If I'm not mistaken, new they were 4K and that was back in the 90s. Which was a shit ton of coin then. Since new cars were 10-15k(domestic).

People are just trying to cash in before Soldano reissues the rackmount preamp.
I've also seen the original SLO100 go for 7K before the new models came out.
 
when you have an aging demographic with disposable income and now world wide platforms like reverb where literally the whole world can fight over one piece of rare gear, prices arent gonna be what they were 20 years ago.
 
The only time I used rack gear was to cool the buns after I pulled them out an oven in a casino bakery. I remember Neil Schon used to gig with two refrigerators of rack gear so clearly he worked in a bakery at some point too.

You dont know what your missing. .....
 
I'm not surprised by this price. I was monitoring two Bogner Fishes listed on Reverb in Germany. 1 90's era and one RI. Neither had whale/cantrell mod. Both $7000+. I wonder what mine would fetch having the Cantrell mod.

I would've sold when it was half that price. Cash in before it's only worth half that again.

If you haven't used it in 6 months=goodbye rack gear hello fun money.

That is not the pre that's going to be reissued, though. Different circuit etc.

Ok I'm lost then, what pre are you talking about that Soldano is reissuing?

The X88 is the reissue. The X99 is different; it's a collaboration with Tim Caswell who did the mod to the amp everyone wanted to steal from SIR in LA; the modded 71 Tremolo #39. It's a different circuit and has I believe, motorized controls.
