MythSte Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 This is difficult for me to do. Those of you that have been following the band etc will be sad to hear that its now officially over. Its been 2 years of hard graft, and ive had lots of enjoyable times but lack of money, too much stress, and a horrible mix of anxiety and anger (from other members!) we decided enough is enough. With all this going on, ive been a bit, well, a lot of an idiot and still not got round to paying off the rest of what i owe on this amp to our very own Ped. So i will be asking that not only will some of the final cost go to him, but i'll also make a 10% donation to BC. Heres specs and pics. -200 watt all tube, with a Half power switch (great for lower volume tube saturation) -1x15 custom trace elliot driver (sounds very much like the mesa boogie diesel range) -custom TE horn unit -Footswitchable overdrive channel -footswitchable Tube compressor -External Biasing (you can bias your own tubes and not get fried!) -Speaker out for 4 and 8 ohms -effects loop -LED gain meter - This isnt your usual gain light... Its an LED strip on the last pre-amp tube, lighting from the top and the bottom, and when the lights meet your saturating the power tubes and theres your lovely thick tube overdrive. And heres the best picture i have to hand... Any questions the please do fire away. Im not giving up bass. I'll sort out something next year im sure. Cheers guys.
MB1 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 MB1. Sorry to hear about your Band!...always bad after that amount of graft and time!...been there done that!.What sort of money were you looking for?.
MythSte Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 whatever anyones willing to pay for it really! So far Benwhites the highest bidder at 3.67 and a sherbert dip.
Merton Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Ste, so sorry to hear about the band Even sadder to see you having to let this go and I can't afford it!! Unless you'll accept a tenner and a packet of McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak crisps?
Toasted Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 "So, what gig's did you play in your last band?" "Oh, you know, some sh*t pub, some sh*t bar, Glasto..."
thisnameistaken Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Shame about the band man, I was dead impressed with you lot.
GStar Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Does that mean the Canteeen on the 28th is cancelled?

As for price - We all know the one at denmark street at 1799 has been there pretty much since amps where invented. A v4 went recently for 600, a v8 for 1000 and something, so somewhere between the two would be reasonable. It is currently out of action due to a fuse being stuck. I have a quote of 50 quid to fix it. If you want it before i fix it i'll be more open to negotiation. I must also note, im open to part ex's on small combos. Cheers!

dub_junkie Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 sad news about your band. You have a long music journey ahead Ste,I'm sure you will take only positives from this. good luck with the sale of both this and the TRB
clauster Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Sorry to keep the OT thing going, but that's really bad news about the band Ste. Hopefully there's something bigger and better waiting for you.
MythSte Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Now I've had some time to reflect it's definately not such a bad thing. I'd spend 3 nights a week rehearsing then gig twice each week. College full time and work Saturday/Sunday! Definately refreshing to have some me time. Lots of enquiries, keep em coming!

[/quote] Theyre still begging us to play it, but I dont know if i want to after how twatish some of the guys have been. Sorry!
MythSte Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 Bump, offers have been coming in thick and fast. I'm going to be making a decision soon!
