Hello there,

I'm looking for an amp, preferably over 100 watts, I need it for all kinds of styles from slapping to beefy tones to warm soft tones. I have about a £200 maximum budget.

If you happen to have one for sale that meets those requirements please send me a message. Thank you!

Where in kent are you?

Abbey music in Tunbridge Wells had a Laney head with 2X10 and 1X15 cab for about that figure a few weeks back. They might still have it.

Yep, got a Hartke HA5000, its 2x250W with a cross over you can adjust the output and frequency to each 'side'. Mega powerful, excellent condition, complete with carry case.

May be on the way back from Margate on Friday evening and Tuesday afternoon

You'll find what you need in the for sale sections in here. Far better value than S/H in the shops or ebay for that matter.
You just need to get into the habit of checking all the time.

My budget these days is not at all dissimilar to yours.

Would you believe that the stack you see here cost just a little bit more than that ?
£80 for the 1153, £80 for the 2102 and £80 for the AH150-7.

£240 for a mini stack of doom which I can break down into bite sized chunks.
Way better than whatever you can buy new.

This is definitely NOT for sale, but just pointing out what can be available if you're resourceful.
Incidentally there's a matching pair of these cabs for sale on here right now for very similar money.
If I could find another amp head, I'd be tempted. :ph34r: B) :ph34r:

Ah John,

So it's you that's altered the gravitational pull in Cumbernauld :P

I took that pic lying on the floor, for effect.

In reality, it's no more than up to chest height. Ideal for blokes of a certain age.
You can hear the top speaker / don't have to bend down to tweak it.

I'm sure there are many many proper Rigs Of Doom in here.
This is a pretender to that particular throne. :rolleyes:

You are never going to lose on that little baby, looks good too. Could be a collectable rig one day, you know how these things are with nostalgia and many of us either having similar when new or sometimes more importantly wishing they could of then but can afford as a toy later in life. Look after it I say ;)

Well it is a matching set from 'back in the day'....

Does this mean I should keep it at home and gig with an old TNT130 ? :D
I do get your point about keeping it nice.

I had mine about 5 years. Cost me £45, sold for £45. Karma and all that.
Weighed slightly more than the moon, but just worked.

Occasionally needed a bit of a warm up after a cold night, like an old diesel engine, but always got there.

Nobody buys them because they're cool, but nobody ever regretted buying one either.

I've just bought a new Hartke head so will be moving my Ashdown ABM Evo II 500W on when I can be bothered if you're interested?

Pukka amp there. Plenty meaty enough for the job paired with a nice matching Ashdown cab.

Hello Bob, how much are you asking for that?

and thanks everyone for your feedback, sorry I haven't been able to get on here for a few days!
and thank you bassman7755 that was really kind of you to find all of those deals for me, just a shame I've got on here a bit late and they're all over! :(
