NOW SOLD

Here we have the much revered 90's B100r combo, hailed by many as the poor mans Portaflex.

This one is USA made and shows a few obvious signs of use. It does however sound great. Having played a few vintage B15's, this is never going to get you all the way there, but I does indeed impart some of the vibe of a B15 and certainly has the look.

I've used it on some soul, motown and blues gigs and whilst it is only 100watts, it happily kept up with a full band.

Good points:

It looks and sounds a bit like a B15.

It has casters so its really easy to move around.

Joe Dart used one! (well, the 50watt version)

Bad points:

The previous owner attached some metal edging strips to the rear corners.

The original 'on' lamp was broken (a common fault on these), but Ive had it repaired with blue LED (which has eliminated this issue).

It looks a bit tatty - some call it worn, others call it natural relicing!? whatever your opinion - please decided by looking at the pics.

The handle is fully functional, but this is again worn - see pics.

Collection from London N21 only at this stage as its quite heavy, but I may change my mind on this depending on interest.

Happy to do demos and teas etc, for prospective buyers.
