Pure GK tone at a good price

I paid about $160 at Guitar Centre for a used one of these that someone had mounted into a Backline 115 body. The wattage was far too much for the internal speaker to handle and it's already blown, but through a good cab I think this would probably be an amazing amp for someone who wants a great tone. It isn't as powerful as bass amps these days, but I find that it's plenty loud enough for gigging with my band.
