Jansen Mini-Brute - what's it worth?

Post by berg »

Giday forum, I have a Jansen Mini-Brute bass amp i'm considering selling as it's been sitting in storage for a while now and I need to clear some space. I've had it for years and don't have much info on it. Has a nice tremolo effect built in though :thumbup:

Can anyone help with what it may be worth? Any spec info would be appreciated too.

Hmm, image doesn't work for me
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I thought that the mini brutes were guitar amps not bass?
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

You could be right. I was told by the guy I bought it off years ago it was a bass amp, was the first amp I ever bought in my teens when I knew little to nothing about amps. Since then my knowledge has become marginally better

I sold one recently on TradeMe for $50. I thought there'd be more interest.

That sounds like a bit of a rough break. $1 start=reserve?

I just came across an active auction on trademe where the seller appears to have the same model as mine. Starting price $285.00, buy now $325.00 - https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace ... 3432453102

Does this pricing seem realistic to any of you in the know?

Nope. That's 100% dreamland pricing. Anything over $75 would be great on the seller's part.
