Finbar Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Alrighty, done a lot of soul searching over this one, but I really can't justify keeping it anymore. There's a reason you don't see these up for sale often - people want to hang onto them! Essentially, now that my band's split up, it's gathering dust and I really need the money that it has tied up in it With a Precision and new strings, it is absolutely the quintessential rock tone to me. The GT200 is a 200w all valve head, hand built with point to point wiring and everything. It has 4 and 8 ohm taps. Speakon only. My GT200 is slightly different in that the external dimensions are smaller than a standard model. It's about an inch less wide and an inch less tall than a standard one I think. I just thought the stock one was massive when I tried it, and that's the size Jeff made it to for me. It has had a checkover at Matamp in the not too distant past and has a clean bill of health. PAT tested not too long ago either. The 6x10 is 8 ohms, and I think the power handling is 2400W according to Jeff? Again, speakon only. They're both finished in white basketweave tolex, and the head has black piping. I think it looks pretty righteous all together. They've both been gigged but looked after, and they're in good condition. The faceplate on the GT200 is one I asked for, and consequently has my name on it, but I'll refund the buyer the cost of getting Matamp to make them a new faceplate. I'm not comfortable posting either of these (and at the very least, the cab will cost a small fortune to ship anyway), so collection only from Sheffield. Also not looking to split, but I'm after £1300 for the head and the cab together. Includes a Roqsolid cover for the cab, and one for the head I got from Matamp which is a bit loose due to the aforementioned dimension changes, but does the job. If you want more photos, let me know. Kettle lead and OBBM speakon lead included Edited October 31, 2011 by Finbar
longtimefred Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 can i swap you my soul for all eternity for this rig please?
Wooks79 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 What?! Keep it man, surely you will kick yourself for selling this as soon as you get in another band... If anyone i thinking of buying this, don't think, just buy! At this price its the best £1300 you could spend on a bass amp in my opinion.
dannybuoy Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I quit my band too but still keep my AD200B and Matamp cab for my bedroom rig... don't do it!
Mr. Foxen Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Gonna try and push some people to either buy a bunch of my toys, so I have a shot at this. Not so much after the cab though, anyone want that?

Mr. Foxen Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 First target is Friday when Gim should be driving via Sheffield on the way to collect his white Matamp, and I pick up some toys from Umph. Oh yeah, wanna buy a Klipp? Or two?
rumour6 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Not in the market but have to say this looks fabulous.. never seen one in white, even 'White' gear was black... ditto the rest, if you like the tube sound you'll just end up trying to get another... but it'll never be quite the same... lovely.
TG Flatline Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 This amp is even nicer in the flesh and sounds absolutely awesome. Have a bump from me kiddo!
tremblap Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) omg, I need to calm my GAS... what tone options have you taken on it? can you put a cleaner picture of the front panel please? Edited September 20, 2011 by tremblap
Finbar Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 In all regards other than the cosmetics, it's a stock GT200. Best shot I've got of the front plate (and the photo still isn't too great, sorry!) is this one. I can take more in a few days. I've got symbols rather than text, but like I said, you'll probably want to get a new front plate made to get rid of my name anyway
Finbar Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Just quickly bumping this, and adding that it has a DI output, but it is an unbalanced 1/4" one with a level knob. Just incase that's important to people
joegarcia Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 If this is still here on the 1st November when I get back off tour I might just have to have it. Not interested in trades are you? Orange Terrorbass?
charic Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Just beautiful. I shall swap this bump for both the amp and the cab. I know generous ain't I. Has the courier picked it up yet?
tremblap Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I am working sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (please add more Os) hard to resist this, guys Please someone take it before I can't resist anymore (and get into trouble for the sum...)

Chadderz Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Good. God. Need a kidney? You can never have too many, right?
Finbar Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 I'm not sure where a third one would go..? But no, I'm not after trades at all on this. That goes for bass gear or body parts.
99ster Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 This has to be the coolest looking bass rig going. And I know it will sound sublime. Please somebody buy this before I do something very silly!
