mentalextra Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I was coming home from work just outside Colchester tonight and while trying to find a town in essex with a working cash point, happened upon one of those shops that sells old 35mm cameras and watches. He had some old records and tucked in the corner of the shop window was an amp. Laney linebacker 30. Looked OK. Price label said £70. Worth going back for it do you think? Might offer him £50? Quote

ahpook Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 my first amp was an 80's linebacker 30 not a great amp iirc - very boxy sounding, but fine for noodling. i'd say even £50 is steep Quote

Its over an hour drive back. Quote
bartelby Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I couldn't even give one of those away a while back. It ended up down the tip. Quote

However there may be other practise amps that would be better valueat that price Quote
JTUK Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 ok..since nobody has a good opinion...can anyone offer something of better value.... without a sales pitch? Might be more helpful Quote
