Vintage 1960s Selmer Treble N Bass 50 MKII Amplifier Robbie McIntosh
This is a truly incredible opportunity to own a piece of rock n’ roll history. Through a good friend of mine, I was able to purchase this very amplifier off of Robbie McIntosh (ex. The Pretenders, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, John Mayer, the list can go on…). He’s owned it for many years and it’s featured on many of his projects over the decades. The amplifier itself is a 1966 MKIII Treble N Bass, placed inside a slightly later MKIII Treble N Bass Reverb box. Robbie had this many years and found a near perfect tone using this very amplifier. This one has been slightly modified, including a replacement mains transformer, and the rectifier valve removed with the old transformer.
The amplifier has been recapped in the past, as you can see, otherwise pretty original. It’s definitely not museum quality, but Robbie needed it to sound good – and boy does it! This amplifier has been serviced to a playable & safe standard, by one of our leading amp techs. To find out more about what our service includes, please check out our terms and conditions before purchasing.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
