  1. Thanks guys, but in the end I went down a different, and much ligher, all-valve route!
  2. Why is this still here? It's a great deal on some truly superb kit!
  3. My ex-cab. This combination can throw out some seriously good valve tones at a decent volume. It's a perfectly giggable setup, and that is an amazing price for the whole rig.
  4. [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1383831864' post='2269705'] Amp looks the nutts, pricetag just looks nutts... [/quote] Lol, that's a great line! Yes, the price is nuts, but I have spotted a second hand one that makes it more reasonable!
  5. This is a great live rock album, with fretless by Jaz Lochrie on every track. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pwyo-OnmxU[/media] I think it rocks rather hard Edit: Awful album cover though!
  6. [quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1383738093' post='2268288'] The head on the combo is pretty much the same as the LB30 right? [/quote] Yes, my question, I guess, is what's the cab like. I know what the head can do
  7. Hi there I still have an all-valve itch I need to scratch, and was wondering if anyone has any experience of this combo? I had an LB30 head, which was great and more than loud enough for my gigging needs, but I have no experience of the combo. I'm not a huge fan of 15" drivers or rear ported cabs, but never say never.... Cheers Gareth
  8. Yes, early 90s. I had the combo version with the GPXV preamp. Very nice.
  9. Yes, just spotted this too. Looks lovely and, as you say, probably weighs something silly. I must admit, I am having some serious nostalgia GAS for TE stuff at the mo....
  10. [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1383333357' post='2263365'] For anyone dithering, this is a very nice-playing and nice-sounding bass.[/quote] Thanks BBN! Friday night bump for a price drop.
  11. [quote name='obbm' timestamp='1382960775' post='2258384'] Chain Saw? [/quote]This amp comes in a custom casing
  12. Well, I just realised the amp would hang over the side of my Berg by nearly 3" each side. Visual fail, so it's a no from me
  13. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1382945393' post='2258136'] The questions I'd be asking are- How old are the KT88's and when was it last serviced and by whom? [/quote] It's ex-demo from a shop, so very low miles, but I've asked them for a full history just now.
  14. I may go back and use the Thomann price as a negotiating tool.
  15. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1382906756' post='2257940'] They retail for £988 on Thomann. I think £800 is a fair price, but not really good. Plus, how old, how much use, cosmetic condition, last serviced? If the KT88's need changing you could be in the region of £75 for a decent matched pair [url="http://www.hotroxuk.com/genalex-gold-lion-kt88.html"]http://www.hotroxuk....-lion-kt88.html[/url] and this could take the shine off things. For this money, I'd want to be really sure that I wanted the amp. Have you played through it? [/quote] I hadn't seen that Thomann price, only the £1299 UK RRP, so yes you are right the price isn't as good as I thought.
  16. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1382905750' post='2257914'] What is a really good price? [/quote] Just over £800
  17. Hi all I've been offered one for (edit: what I thought was) a really good price, and I was wondering what people think of them? Cheers Gareth
  18. Thanks for the messages guys.
  19. The Legacy series at Strings Direct? Made by Picato I believe....
  20. Trades + cash to me also considered: Ashdown LB30 head Ashdown CTM15 or 30 head Trace Twin Valve head good quality 1 x 12 cab Thanks Gareth
  21. [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1382793054' post='2256625'] Well if a certain Sandberg sells... I was surprised to see it up for sale! [/quote] Indeed. With a Wal incoming next year something had to give....
