This belongs to my bandmate and close friend. Because I don't know anything
about the amp other than it is in strikingly nice condition, I have included below a description from the Dr. Z website. It says the head weighs 22 lbs. but I think it's closer to 30. That must be due in part to the wood face. I'm no expert on wood but my guess is that it's mahogany. It's a pretty hefty panel, not a thin veneer. My photos didn't capture it but the tolex is a deep muted green and looks great with the wood panel. A cover is included.

Although the amp is owned by my friend I personally stand behind the sale.
Anyone who knows me or has done business with me knows I'm a straight shooter. If you're interested in owning it I will put you in touch with him but I'm happy to answer any questions as well as best I can.
Price is $1375., shipped and PayPal'd in the continental U.S.A.


from the Z website:
The Prescription is one of the Doctor's first amps, and its reputation will allow it to be one of the most popular Dr.Z amps for years to come. Players across the country have sung its praises, critics have gushed, and the word has spread. The Prescription is a British-voiced amplifier with its own distinct personality.

The tone of this amp screams rock and roll when cranked, but when clean, its bell-like tone and piano-like clarity on the low notes gives excellent articulation on complex chords. The Prescription is complex and rich in harmonics, and gives incredible touch sensitivity and string-to-finger feel. So whether you're looking for clean and pretty, or crunch of doom for some rippin' blues slide, the 'Script may be the amp for you.

That's a nice looking amp and sounds like a good deal to boot. I've done business with Bob and he is totally honest, helpful, and friendly. All the makings of a fine boy scout! ;-)
