op76 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) [b][/b]I put a feeler out a while back but here are the full details. The top of the range BLX which is compact in size but puts out 150 Watts RMS (300W peak). Usual GP7 SM amp section features: 2 different pre modes (one trad TE, the other more flat pre shape) Pre on/off Active/passive 7 band graphic with on/off DI out (pre and post EQ) Effects loop EQ balance Line out Mute Second speaker out (8 Ohm) Tuner out Loud enough to gig with but compact enough for most living arrangements. Does weigh a reasonable amount due to it's unique ported design, but not too much too worry about. This model come with a built in HF horn which makes all the difference. Rough demensions are 19" by 19" and 13" deep. Covered on durable green carpet and is in fantastic condition! This amp will be far more useful than any 100W combo on the market today as you can actually take it to rehearsal. [attachment=15966:DSCF0001.JPG][attachment=15967:DSCF0003.JPG][attachment=15969:DSCF0004.JPG] I'm looking for just [s]£150 [/s] £120 with buyer collecting from South London. Check out the Ibanez Blazer Bass post as well if you want a good solid bass guitar too... Edited November 17, 2008 by op76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) great amps, i have the 130, VERY loud for their size and wattage, and can handle low b's very respectfully. very good price too, often the bottom range blx80's sell for that!

op76 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 It is cheap at £150 so I am hoping some one will snap it up soon! I have seen the BLX80 go for similar and these are quite different. 150 Watts RMS does make it a very useable amp for home/rehearsal [b]and[/b] gigs. The overall size won't annoy partners and it is of very good build quality. Sound is versatile so no compromises if you want to gig with it. Anyone looking for a combo that will easily fit in your boot but be loud enough for a medium size gig ? I must add this has only been gigged twice - the rest of the time it has spent in the bedroom so it is in excellent condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I did consider but never got round to looking for one was adding a TE 15" cab to the BLX. It has a second speaker output specifically designed for this and would mean you have total flexibility of a powerful combo for home and rehearsal plus an extension speaker when needed for gigs. Your 1518 would be perfect (8 Ohms) as an extension cab - don't suppose you would be tempted to buy so as to combine the too (kind of a re-uniting of the TE!).

That has to be an absolute bargin now as the 80W version without HF horn goes for a lot more on ebay. Just want somebody to take it off my hands because I can't justify having 2 amps. This is a solid piece of kit that won't let you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
