lxxwj Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) THIS is why I need a time machine! This and the Bass Whammy, of course. Oh, and maybe a Deep Impact.. Edited March 17, 2012 by lxxwj Quote
EskimoBassist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 For one second I genuinely thought this was the For Sale section and I was touching cloth in excitement... Quote
GarethFlatlands Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Nice and cheap amps too, although the cab and matching EL34's aren't especially great. Quote
Musky Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Pricey! I think I paid £33 new for mine. They were originally being sold over here by Watford Valves (IIRC) and I remember the price hike when they got a new distributor. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Hmm, price of amps and valves hasn't gone up very much when you look at comparable bottom level amps and tubes, Behringer/Bugera and cheapy Chinese valves. The golden age is now. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I borrowed a friend's green muff for a while - I couldn't really hear any magic that the new ones don't have. Victor Morris were quite interesting characters - one half of the shop was music gear and the other half supplied knives, replica firearms and other weaponry to the local ne'er-do-wells! I think they've dropped that side of the business nowadays... Quote
umcoo Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 Apparently there can be quite a wide range of tones due to inconsistencies at the factory...simply put, some sounded great, others not so much. Not sure how much truth is in that, but every one I've played has been great! Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I had one in for repair, it did sound great, was one of those 'Ah, now I sort of get it, might actually pay £40 for a clone then' moments. Quote
LukeFRC Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1332096258' post='1583200'] I had one in for repair, it did sound great, was one of those 'Ah, now I sort of get it, might actually pay £40 for a clone then' moments. [/quote] I made my own clone, no idea how close it is the original. sounds good though Quote
1970 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 In 18 years time perhaps we'll look back and say the same about spending £200 on one today. Quote
