Fender Rumble Stack - SOLD PENDING
Thornybank replied to Thornybank's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='ste_m3' post='310312' date='Oct 20 2008, 11:43 AM']Oh! No i genuinly meant it. Its very easy to get all this silly terminoligy mixed up (Claber and BFM, feel free to tap my wrists!) I just fear it being too... big sounding for me. I like focused low mids and judging by what the fellow was saying about it being incredibly deep etc [/quote] Yep. Incredibly deep. I suspect it would be too ... big sounding for a hifi guy. And it def. wants a big room. I have never tried the head through different cabs, though. (Strange when I have so many, but the Fender stack is not near my cab depository.) Next move will be to take it to the Peavey 1820. That oughta tell a story.... -

Only two years later, this has come back to roost. [attachment=14954:17_10_08_1726.jpg] [attachment=14955:17_10_08_1727.jpg] Fender Rumble valve stack. Bruce Zinky design lower brother of the Tonemaster guitar amp. 300-400w using 6550 power valves. 4x10 + horn Top cab and 4x10 Sub cab. Way deep and way loud. £1750 - only £1k less than the head new and it comes with its cabs. Interested in a sale or swap/cash thing. Can demo/deliver/any of that.

DEAD Post...Trace Elliot 1818x cab/flightcase
Thornybank replied to tonewheelkev's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
18+10 is a great cab - but is almost always a two-man lift, esp. in the case, so doesn't command the price it 'deserves'. Remember - 1/4" gives one driver only = needs the XLR for both sepakers to work together. Note: teh 10" is nice on its own for studio stuff (but you have to get the cab into a studio. (Urk! M' back!) £375 is about right - £275 for the cab in such good condition and £100 for the case. Only someone who really wants it and can move it is going to buy it = slow seller, but won't go any quicker as a 'cheapie'. Bril for someone running a practice room, but they can usually be counted on to pay nowt for gash gear instead of reliable quality and great sound... sadly for us/their punters... -

It's a crunch tone thing. Dry and edgy compared to a smooth older 50w - or even the 800 series 4210. Not as midrange roaring as the 900 Master Volume version that followed - but plenty of authority. Build quality way beyond anything since. Kinda boxy, maybe, in a 1x12 format... ...but will drive an 8ohm 2x12 nicely! ...or put a 1912 cab with it - an older one with the Sidewinder driver - or pack it with an EV, like I do! Gotta be worth £250-300.

I am not a big fan of compact boxes.... ...but Rumour6 has a 2x12 EBS neo thingie that is great!, so waht do I know?!?! The weeAShdown boxes don't have the space fill authority I prefer. The orig Ashdown ABM 500 cab (300w qxq5) was fantastic with the V8 and the V6. Best 1x15 since the big Trace boxes. From my stable, the Trace 1510 (1x15 + 1x10) is no bigger than a 4x10 and might do it for you as a one-box solution. That's only £300.... Or a Trace 4x10 + horn.... £275. Or if you want the end-all, how about a Trace 15+18 full flight box (face off, wheels and handles)? OMIGOD!!! Plenti-full-y ranged and snippish at £250. Lotsa thots.

May be selling the carpeted 4x12. Depends on what a couple of local guys are up to with my V6 and 2x15 cab. The 4x12 is rated at 800w, has a horn and a high frequency dial. There is a metal grill under the front grill cloth. It is superclean and flightcased, so I would expect to get £550 inc delivery. doesn't hurt so much if you factor in the "cheap as free" deal you got on the head.... But if you want a great cab just to get on with, Andy67 is offing his Ashdown 8x10 - and your amp will make that puppy sing!

Marshall JCM 800 info required please...?
Thornybank replied to GrahamMacca's topic in Amps and Cabs
Tell us the model number and the letter at the end of the serial number and we will know lead/bass, wattage and age. Describe condition in detail, alongwith any known repairs/replaced bits and we can help with a value. Ta -
50w EL34 combo. I set mine up with 6550 valves to give more clean headroom and put in a Celestion powercell to be more efficient. The EQ is lower mid biased, but still sounds quite good for guitar.

Musicman through a Fender twin reverb = one of the all-time great sounds. PBass through a Hiwatt 100w and a 69 Marshall 4x12. Oh, yes! Jazz through a Burman 4000 through a Peavey 18+2x10. Grunt. Rickenbacker through a Trace V6 and the matching (4x12-size) 2x15. Chug. Pbass through a Marshall 50w and a checkerboard 1935 2x12 with 30w greenbacks. Studio cream. Any bass through a Fender Bassman 20 1x15 from the '70s. 6V6 output valves = no headroom, but smoooooth for recording. PBass and a '63 Ampeg B15N with a JBL. Motown. Gibson EB through a Sunn stack. Pappalardi....

CTech "Sonny Boy" pedal

Yep - everyone is right! The best "average" I can work with is to google up a best best shop price, then scan current ebay completed items to see what current fashion says. Then I consider paying less than ebay with the option of washing my face if I hate the thing, or charging less because that's the kind of guy I am.... The latter is probably nuts...? Fun, huh?

This should be fun.... Pricing a second hand item is always fraught with doubt and nervous indecision. Having paid shop price because you HAD TO HAVE IT! or having scooped a free ads bargain, what do you do when the old girl's gotta go or the GAS hits critical? All things being equal (not a re-routed hash job, a dropped-from-a-height cracker or a central heating neck twister - nor a raving beauty) shops around here will offer 1/3 of retail so they can sell out at 2/3 of retail and still make a bit after the inevitable tidy, set-up, restring, shop warranty (if any) and VAT. So, unless you know the piece to be a peach, it is a collectable or you owe the seller a favour, private purchase should come in somewhere under that, n'est-ce pas? And less still if you are trading in against it = seller has to wait even longer for his £s. Street price, then, is 1/2 shop price? Or less if there are any issues/mods? Or wot...?
