mesa dual rec / lones star combo trade

[Dmoney]

dude wants to trade my mesa dual rec head for a lone star 2x12 combo.
on the ground thats the combo is worth more if i sell it.

good idea? bad idea?

I love the Lone Star...question: what Dual Rec (year..revision...black face?..serial number..)
close call, money wise-lonestar 2 x12..special? classic?
..I see dr's bringing 11-1300 USD..the Lonestar Combo's are in the same category if they arent custom color,etc..around 12-1300 usd
-the release of the Mark V could "stunt" the used market value of these for a while in the US
...lone stars are cool...(mk V has the LS voice for its clean channel...)

Apparently its a year old (the combo). with all the bits.  ill find out what it is.

My Dual Rec i got preowned not sure about the serial. I think the guy i got it off may have said its a mk2. dunno if that just means it has the 3 channels or not.
its a standard finish. i have the mesa 6L6's and recto tubes and a mesa tube that was in the PI position.
has had the orange channel presence pot changed for a different value mesa part, but i have the original pot too.

apparently is the classic model in black

I like both, but I'd keep the DR as I prefer head + cab rigs over combos.

Well if the Lonestar sells better than the Recto, why doesn't the guy just sell the Lonestar and buy a Recto?

That is actually true. Make an advanced search and tick the box "completed listings".

Afraid not :(

I spent ages trying to get rid of my 3 channel duel Rectifier.  It was a year old, had a whole new set of tubes from Watford valves (which were a ton themselves) and came with all the paperwork, the most i could get for it was £900.

[Dmoney]

damn.
so.
worth trying with the lonestar combo for a bit more?

For what I play I have really liked the Lonestar thats just me

I sold a black Lonestar Classic 2x12 on ebay for £1,100 earlier this year.  I did it as a buy it now rather than an auction and had a fair bit of interest.  It was a great sounding amp, just that as a non-gigger it was overkill in my flat.
