Pow_22 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) After many times of advertising and withdrawing this amp circumstances dicate it must go. Baby on the way and no longer need a rig of this size. Ill get pics up asap but for sale is my all valve Sound City B120 amp. Serviced early jan by Dave Lunt who replaced 4 of the 6 power valves (amp now has 2x Mullard and 4x Electro Harmonix). Full reciept from Dave will be given with the amp (total £160 worth of service work). Tolex is tatty and has been repainted black by the previous owner to hide the tears etc so cosmetically it isnt the best. However, the sound is great and the amp is in full working condition. Ive been using it in a tiny studio against a drummer who plays with rolling pins and it has kept up if a little distorted (not full on just a valve breakup sound you get when these are cranked). I bought this as my first foray into valves and it didnt disappoint. Lovely and warm when paired with my Bassman 2x15. The rig is set up in our Bolton studio so any trial is welcome with your cab/bass. Collection only im afraid but will deliver locally. Looking for £400 but if you want to fling an offer my way then go ahead. No trades at the moment im afraid. Looking to get the collection down to 1 bass and 1 combo. Sad day but I will put it about without a bob hat on, my bad Any questions please ask and ill either answer them or nag my personal online SC guru, Mr Foxen haha. Edited September 13, 2012 by Pow_22
Pow_22 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Forgot to mention. It comes with a Roqsolid custom made cover (unpadded version). This is very handy at keeping dust off the valves that sit right under the top vent

Pow_22 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 One and only price drop before I give up on a new mini rig and stick with what ive got....£380
rapscallion Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 If you can get some pics up with photobucket or some other file hosting site, there might be much more interest
Mr. Foxen Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Should probably note the prices of these on ebay have been creeping up, the price of this one hasn't. And the ones on ebay have a theme of being marked working because the valves glow when they turn it on with no speaker attached.
Pow_22 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 Heres pics finally. Just to reiterate - the tolex is tatty but amp is fully serviced and in working order. For the purists i did get a quote a while ago from Matamp to fully retolex the amp at £120. As before offers welcome but no trades at the mo im afraid.

Mr. Foxen Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Show her this: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/Edinburgh%20amps/DSCF0049.jpg[/IMG] Ask what the big deal is.
Pow_22 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 Wow. Looks like ill be keeping hold of it then. Was that a fully serviced one as well?
StraightSix Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Search the bay for item No. 290689391956 for all the details.
Mr. Foxen Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 [quote name='StraightSix' timestamp='1333620662' post='1604286'] Search the bay for item No. 290689391956 for all the details. [/quote] That is a pretty bad listing, and he had some misinformation in the text that was later corrected. This one has the Partridge transformers, that are a big deal even amongst people not inclined to chase snake oil.
Pow_22 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Just ordered some rubber feet off maplin for a few quid for this. Sits flush on the cab at the mo so think this will help with rattles and unwanted vibration noises
rapscallion Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I'd love it, but alas I'm too far from Manchester to warrant pickup Bummer, it looks a lovely amp
Pentode Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 [quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1334224405' post='1612688'] Had an offer on ebay of £150!?!?! [/quote] Joker...
