steve-soar Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 It's got a bid of £400 with a few mins left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Seems on the low side of normal @ £430. I'd have bid but no gear fund at all atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have bid but no gear fund at all atm [/quote] Yes that looked like a good price - & I was so VERY tempted to jump in at the end... But as I already have an Kern IP-777 (and an Avalon U5) it would have been a bit mad to have got yet another high-end pre-amp. I need to sell some bits before I keeping on buying more gear!

From vintage Fender through to high-end modern stuff - it just sounds stunning. I took mine along for a demo of Berg cabs & all sorts of basses at Bass Direct (a great place) & Mark was freaked out by it. He's been trying to get them to make some more for him for some time now - but I think he's given up as the guy has retired I think(?). There will be no more made... I use it for recording mostly (it's all hand made & very quiet) - but have been known to run it out into my vintage Ampeg B-15 for an orgy of valve goodness!
