ON HOLD: Fender Studio Bass Head ** 200W All Valve ** £325

[Sharkfinger]

Bought this 80's all valve head off eBay a few months ago because I was gassing for an all valve head.  Got it for a good price because it was tatty.  Had it serviced and smartened it up a bit (here's the build diary).  Was originally a combo that wa

I knew it could only do an 8Ohm load but just one of my 8Ohm cabs is not sensitive enough to get decent volume out of it.  Can't use 2 of my 8 Ohm cabs as that would bring the impedance down to 4Ohms, which is not ideal (although I hear you can get away with 6-10 Ohms apparently). Figured I'd just get another high-sensitivity 8Ohm cab.  

However, I just can't be bothered and I've got more than enough amps and cabs already.  My functions band requires clean headroom, so I can't imagine actually needing it and I add grit via my Ampeg emulating pedal when I need it, so I just sits there unused.

£325 represents the amount I have invested in this amp so far, so just looking to recover that. Has 4 original valves and 2 replacements (which don't look recent).  Any questions, ask away and I'll do my best to answer.

Not too heavy, about 22Kg.  Was originally a combo but was separated for ease of transportation, I imagine.

Collection only (won't risk a courier).  Could also meet up in Herts, parts of North London and Essex.

No trades please.

EDIT: Have been asked what work I had carried out when I bought it.  From memory, it was re-capped, service-wise.  The repair was that some of the valves were not seated properly, there they were not being used so not giving full power.  The valve holders were 're-tensioned' so connection was then being made properly
