By_Tor2114 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, I purchased this head brand new from GAK in 2010. It's not been gigged a great deal of times since then (Probably only twenty or so), as I've been doing a lot of my work on guitar for the past few years. I've started to take some bass gigs again and I just want something lighter. As much as I love the tone, I don't enjoy the constant hernias. I actually used this amp on a wedding gig last night, so I can say with confidence that the amp is functional, assuming that it hasn't spontaneously combusted overnight. It had a set of new valves about a year ago and has always been kept in the house. The condition of the amp is pretty good. There are a few small scuffs along the top, but the super bright flash on my camera actually makes them look worse than they really are. Other than that, it's pretty good. I'm based in Bournemouth and would ideally like avoid using a courier. We all know the dangers of shipping valve amps in the post, not to mention the expense of sending something that is so heavy. If someone would like to collect locally, or meet at a reasonable halfway point, then we can arrange that. If you want any other details/photos, feel free to ask. Depending on the interest from Bass Chat, I'll also be looking to go down the eBay route. Oh, and at £700, it really is a Bobby Bargain. I see GAK are gouging people for £1,424 at the moment!

By_Tor2114 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 One more bump before it goes on eBay this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By_Tor2114 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Certainly a fair comment. I was largely basing it on the new prices online and the fact that it's really not been gigged a whole lot. I'll certainly take it on board though and see how the interest in on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By_Tor2114 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Skidder, I did a bit of digging aroubnd (Maybe I should have done that first) and it would seem that £700 does look a little more realistic. Whoever get this now reduced amp owes Skidder a pint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buff Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'll give you a sympathy vote as well, took me forever to move my re valved one at that price. Ended up trading it. Hoping you had better luck than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By_Tor2114 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 In a way, it kinda suits me to not sell it. Although the weight is a bit much, I just love the tone I get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
