JapanAxe Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Before you buy it, just try lifting it. How close to Manson's can you park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) ive tried lifting it and its lighter than my SWR working Pro 700 in a flight case...groan.................... and if you're lucky , you can park right outside this particular shop Edited May 24, 2014 by skidder652003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I had one back in the day and they are the quintessential bass amp bar none. [size=4]...If you don't buy it, I will! [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Er... I mean, no... don't buy it. It's too heavy, you can't easily hide it from your partner and it will be expensive to maintain. Is that better..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It'll be hell getting it from the shop to the car remember. Afterall, there are no car parks near Mansons...just saying. And it's double yellows all the way down that street, and then there are the buses...they're not fussy about clipping an inappropriately parked car...

Marvin Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Just imagine if you had to park in King William St or Howell Road car park, that's an almighty long walk for a man carrying a heavy valve amp ...maybe not too bad if you take a wheel barrow I suppose Edited May 24, 2014 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
