Hey all, due to needing some pennies, and this being my latest GAS toy, it's the first to go. Got this from Peter (Greeneking) about 3 or so weeks back. Here's the original thread... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44665&hl=sound+city"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=sound+city[/url] Surprisingly light (well, I think so anyways) for a valve amp, and the two handles on the side make it great for carrying. Trying it out is very welcome (I live in Lancaster), but I have no cab so you'll need to bring your own if you want to. Looking for £200, just to get my money back really. The hum that Peter speaks of in the original thread is definately noticeable when the amps ticking over, but I never noticed it when actually playing. Collection would be ideal as I can see this being a PITA to ship, but I can look into it if necessary. I'll get some more pics up if needed, but hope Peter doesn't mind me using the one on the first thread! Cheers guys and gals -
I used to have one similar. It's the predecessor to the VT2 EQ I believe. Just the same but without an EQ! Sounds cracking though still! I'm sure Dave will add more info

Yes, a Gibson I've got an '85 Gibson G3, which is probably considered the most 'fender' sounding. The grabber also has a grindy cool rock tone. And the ripper is just lovely! Can you tell I like them?

I had one a few years back. Very maybe, but it would have to be small. I think theres about 2 inches clearance at the tallest part, but remember the slope of the board starts to decrease that. Maybe something like a small boost would fit? Would it not be easier with a PT2 due to being able to get pedals in closer together with the wire routing etc? Does that even make sense? I can't type lately

That's helpful thanks Kiwi. I think I'll get it in for a service some point soon and give her a good going over...if you will -
sorry brother

Bought Peter's Sound City 120. The amp's a treat, the guy's great! Well recommended! Thanks again Peter

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='443230' date='Mar 23 2009, 10:37 PM']I hope you 3 fans don't mind me saying that Rippers do absolutely nowt for me. Gibson have always been a huge disappointment for me considering their guitar pedigree.[/quote]

Oh jesus! I'm after a valve amp and work in Kendal too! £200 is great. I'm going out the office for a bit, but I'll give this a lot of thought

Oh that's sexy! Whereabouts in North Lancs are you? I'm in Lancaster...and have no money!
-
sorry to hijack so quickly...but how did you cut new slots? A couple of screws on my bass need coming out, but the bit has worn down so it's hard work!

and again -
bump!

It is indeed lovely, and cold today

The beautiful city of the North...Lancaster!

A precautious bump....this never did sell in the end. Guess my price was a bit too high last time, but I'm starting a new project and need a cash injection (if you will). Theres some more pics here... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40914"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40914[/url] Offers around £550 would be nice.

GGG Green Sovtek Big Muff - made by Umcoo FX :)

The paint is called 'Venom green'...dangerous! -
I love the looks and sounds of all 3 of the gibson line (grabber, ripper and g-3), but this is madness. I'll keep my G-3 thanks.
-
That's a really good price for the mesa cab. Alas, you're in LDN and I'm broke. Good luck my friend!

New all Valve Amplifiers- the current batch
umcoo replied to orangepeelneil's topic in Amps and Cabs
Weber also do a 'mywatt' in 100, 200 and 400watt versions. Its a clone of the hiwatts, but not sure about prices. Think theyre meant to sound pretty rocking though -
I had my eye on one of these on ebay a month or so back. I think they'd be great for practice and small gig type stuff. That ebay one hadn't been fired up for 15 years so the guy was selling it as is, plus it has its tolex (or whatever is on them) removed so was just a wooden chassis. That went for £160. Do you know if these are mark 2 or 3's?
