Checklist: Total weight = 16kg max [/quote] Ha..! Back in the '70s, my front room at Shepperton was the practise room, about 12 square yards. This was my practise rig... Two of these stacks, side by side ... ... powered by my Hiwatt DR205 PA head (200w, 4 x KT88 valve amp...) Over a quarter of a ton..! Yes, we did haul it out for gigs, too..!

taunton-hobbit Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I don't know how much my gig stuff weighed, but I had a six wheel lwb transit as transport, and it sagged on the back end - police drove it one night and nearly didn't make it around a roundabout...I did grin.....

taunton-hobbit Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yup, the first picture is exactly it - I painted her Victoria Plum purple & left the roof that beguiling orange - we called her Clara (what else does one call an old cow?).....I bought it as near scrap lying abandoned in a wholesalers yard in Oxford - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1462724551' post='3045204'] Postman Pat [/quote] Not quite; mine was in this livery... For the anecdote, I had acquired the thing for only a week or so when I was stopped by the local constabulary, and fined for driving with 'military insignia'..! I tried explaining that I had only just bought the thing (at auction...) from them, I had to 'tag' the Red Crosses away, although I left the roof one..! Luckily, the fine was 'amnestied' when Mitterrand became president in '83, so I never had to pay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonewheels Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1462696322' post='3044883'] I love my Fusion 500 [/quote] I spent ages trying all the current Class D crop and the MB Fusion 500 was by far the best to pair with a couple of One 10s. Collective jaws dropped down the pub the other night when I casually chucked into the conversation "I don't miss the SVT stack at all, you know". Many many spilled pints and dropped bacon sandwiches to be cleared up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
