99ster Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Rare than the rarest thing in rare town - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230548272703#ht_759wt_1028"]the mythical Matchless Thunderchief[/url]... Quote
DirkThrust Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) About 10 years ago I played a gig at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth with 2 other bands, and the supplied backline was one of these with a matching fridge. It was a Matchless valve head anyway so I assume it was a Thunderchief. Cor blimey I thought it was going to knock me off me feet. What a great sounding rig Edited November 9, 2010 by AndyMartin Quote
Happy Jack Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Gorgeous, BUT ... at 28Kg that head weighs more than my bass, head, cabinet and pedal board combined. Hell, I could probably chuck in my foldback monitor as well. One for the bass-playing Czech weight-lifter, I think. Quote
Low End Bee Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Look great on the back seat of a Nash Metropolitan. Quote
Noisyjon Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 That looks cool but as Jack said 28kg? No thanks! Quote

Musicman20 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Weight/smeight its a heavy beast I agree, and it will need flightcasing, but get the drummer to lift it. What an amp! Quote
Delberthot Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 An Ampeg SVT2 Pro is over 31kg so its not that heavy. Quote

99ster Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 Sold for £1K - which is a lot of money - but compared to others amps of that price... The buyer will be a very happy camper for snagging that for what is a bargain price. Quote
