Good story, and lots of famous guitarists associated with it.Doesn`t seem to be any provenance with it though.Plus a hopeful price of £2000 Quote
Grangur Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Without provenance it's simply an old amp. If you were to buy it and come to sell it on, who's going to believe you? Quote

If it was a big rig, i could understand someone wanting it, if the story was substantiated.It would be good to do gigs through his amps.But a 30w, you would never be able to show it off properly Quote
discreet Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Anyone can stencil 'Colloseum II' on an amp. And even if it's true, so what? It is what it is... a battered Vox AC30. It's worth half that, at most. Quote

Despite being "only" 30 watts, an AC30 is definitely a big-gig amp, and could easily be way too loud on the club circuit. Quote

[/quote] +1 Our guitarist has a Marshall 1X12 40W valve combo which can be run at 20W and even at that he has to have it turned way down. It's really bloody loud and I can't imagine any gig where it wouldn't be loud enough. I don't understand why [i]any [/i]guitarist would need a 100W head and a 4X12... except for the look of the thing. Edited April 26, 2013 by discreet Quote
MB1 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 MB1. Provenance is usually the deciding factor with collectors It's difficult to link the use with any name, without it. Mind you, I did use to own a Bass Combo flightcase with "Simply Red" on it! Can't imagine anyone spraying that on the side of a flightcase if they weren't in the band? Quote

Another thought, as much as i like Gary Moore`s work, which is a lot, it has Paul Mccartney listed.If that were true, then surely it would be worth more than marketing it ,Gary Moore Edited April 26, 2013 by timmo Quote
