![]() Here is an image from the 1971 Sears Catalog. Not much is known about these amps they are rarely seen in the wild. It seems that very few of these amps were sold, maybe because the more powerful 200BXL met the needs of electric bass players. According to the catalog, the 60BXL was a two transistor-powered 60-watt (marketing hype) bass amp with a 15-inch speaker. It appeared in the Sears Catalog from 1971 through 1973. The Sears 60BXL (labeled as Silvertone model 1428) was a electric bass amp similar in design and appearance to guitar and bass amps built by Danelectro in the late 1960’s. I replaced the original with a Peavey Neo and that added a lot of lower end. This amp is bright sounding to begin with, and the 12-inch speaker by Tokyo Sound Co. I had this one serviced by Audio Synapse in Portland, and had a new reverb tank installed, as the original was ineffective. ![]() Normal and overdrive inputs, headphone jack, pilot light. The EX1 is an analog, single channel, solid-state amp with 20 watts of power, a 12-inch speaker, overdrive and reverb. Gain and volume controls, high and low EQ, reverb depth. service man or woman brought this amp over from Japan. I found this one in a used music store in Portland, Oregon and suspect maybe a U.S. It was most likely built and sold for the domestic market only. ![]() This 1979 Guyatone EX1 amp is very rarely seen outside of Japan. Very rare guitar amp from Japan maker Guyatone
