Finished at £75.

Just curious as to whether this is a bargain. I put a lighthearted bid of just over £50 on it, without too much motivation to win as I'd have to go all the way to Rugby to pick it up. It sold for £75 which isn't a world away from my bid. How good are these? With the power and the speaker size, it should be a useful amp for playing with a drummer, possibly small venues, etc. And £75 isn't a huge amount of money. If this sort of amp is as good as I'd expect, and if they can be bought for £75 or so, then I wouldn't need to buy a Harley Benton or Behringer amp, I could go for a better brand second hand.

I had one with all sorts of problems unrelated to the build by TE. They are VERY heavy for what they are - probably better looking for something more lightweight..

Good points, thank you.

But, it woke me up to what is available for how much. There was a TE practice amp on sale here for £20. I would have nabbed that had I not been too late and had I been going to Derby. I must keep one eye open.

A while back somebody was advertising a Gallien Kruger 110 Backline on here - can't remember how much but I thought it was ridiculously underpriced at the time and commented so....there seem to be a lot of bargains on here - the trick seems to be knowing which ones you NEED rather than WANT...

There's one of those combos in the rehearsal room that I use. If I was concerned with anything other than hitting the right notes, I wouldn't use it. There's also a Trace 4x10 combo in the room (under the other one, as it happens) which I don't bother using - used to have one, made of depleted uranium, not exactly tone monsters.

Thanks for all the advice.
