Seing as ive just signed up to a years subscription on here i thought id gauge interest in some things im potentially selling [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]And now for something completely different…..Sound City 200 Mk III All Valve vintage Beast[/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]This is the muts nuts. Date wise im not sure but believe the MkIII’s were possibly late 60’s and said to be more than a little similar to Hiwatt’s. The MkIII dosent have the active EQ/pre-amp that the later MkIV’s have and some say that makes them much more preferable. Its massively loud, I mean proper fckin loud![/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]I bought this beast in a sorry state – it basically didn’t work. So I took it to valve guru Roland Lumby in Salford (see his Facebook page The Amp Clinic where he did a running commentary on the repair). If you ask Roland about the amp on there im sure he’ll wax lyrical about it, of all the amps he see’s he loved this one! Roland did the following:-[/color][/size][/font] [list] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Full re-valve – 4 x JJ pre-amp valves and 4 x Shuguang KT88’s[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Replaced both standby and power switches[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Replaced fuses[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Replaced pre-amp valve screening cans with spare old ones he had[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Few resistors and smoothing caps replaced[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Rewired outputs so can be used with single cab (these were designed to not work unless two jacks were connected due to the power – all 4 outputs still work so if youre nuts you can use more than one cab)[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Replaced one power valve socket[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Fitted Marshall Style silver knobs (original coloured ones will be supplied)[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Increased the pre-amp voltage (don’t ask me any techy questions – he said it needed it and didn’t disagree)[/color][/size][/font] [*][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Various other stuff to get it working (all detailed in a receipt which I will supply).[/color][/size][/font] [/list] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Service cost me £150 and that didn’t include the valves which I supplied myself. The valves have had, I would say, around 7 or 8 hours use since the service. The KT88’s weren’t BRAND new but bought from a HiFi forum where they were said to have around 30hrs use. Roland checked them before installation and said they tested all good and strong. JJ’s were brand new.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Tolex is tatty as one would expect (tho nowhere near the state of a later 120 Mk IV I had). Comes with roqsolid dust cover.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]The One bad point – the back panel is missing. I can get one knocked up by a local woodworker if it’s a deal breaker and I did get a quote of around £70 for an exact replica made by George Harrison Woodwork Ltd based in Flixton, Manchester.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]I don’t know if these amps are yet at the stage where they attract collectors but either way this deserves to be played at volumes and venues far beyond my current means. Of course, its heavy – big old Partridge transformers you see. So its not for the class D or micro amp mob or those who think sticking a VT pedal in front of a lunch box sized amp will give you an all valve sound.. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Its collection only from Bolton im afraid – gives you chance to hear/see/check it before parting with your cash too which I would much prefer. I can deliver locally if needed. Pics will be forthcoming – im at work and the pic hosting sites are blocked at the mo.[/color][/size][/font] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]There wont be any price drops with this. If it dosent sell at this price ill keep it. Its lovely just to fire up every now and again and watch the glow [/font][font=Wingdings][font=Wingdings]J[/font][/font][/color][/size]

Bought literally a few weeks ago from PMT manchester. Came really well set up but needed a few tweaks after i wacked a set of flats on it. Never been out of the house! Pics will follow but its the black/white/maple model. Lovely laquered maple neck and slab style body. Bad Ass style chunky bridge, flat topped chrome knobs and single ply white guard. Trade wise id consider deals involving a Squier VM TB P bass but cash sale prefered. Based in Bolton but can deliver locally or arrange meet ups. Could also be Leicester bound soon so deal could be done there. £220 ono Cheers,

Bought this to pair with my LH500 and loved it. Loved it even more so when i stuck my 200w all valve head through it (being sealed it loved valves). However, a local studio is having a clear out and something has come up that id like. its a 500w sealed dual chamber cabinet with switchable tweeter. This comes with removable castors and is in great condition. Never gigged so no loading scrapes or ripped tolex. Lovely clean front cloth grill with no warping or owt. Collection ideally from Bolton but can be delivered reasonably local. Will get obligatory pics up asap.

Had one in the exact same colour (plus had the covers on). With Fender flats it was one of the best P basses ive ever played!

SOLD PENDING USUAL

Offered a Gumtree-er £450 collected so ill also offer this to BCers. Off to Matamp at weekend so some spends would be good. Also developed a strange GAS for the Carbonita basses!

Just seen 'No Trades'. On iPhone, my bad

Any trades?

On ebay at £500 BIN with 34 watchers! Minus fees ill accept a BC cash offer of £470 or trade for Ampeg 410HLF. Last price drop before i stick some roundwound GHS boomers on it and use it as a toy to blast my valves

Few random trades/Part Ex's i MIGHT be interested in (wife pending):- Ampeg 410HLF Squier VM precision TB Ampeg SVT CL with money either way depending etc
