Bargain NOS Laney Nexus Tube 400

[Sean]

I just spotted this. 

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335754368078?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rpbRlok9T1C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=6MnoMIQiQQC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

 

 

2 year warranty. 

They're big and heavy but they're truly awesome. It's a properly scary amp. One of the few valve amps that has both valve and solid state preamps. 

 

It's an absolute bargain IMO. Straight from the manufacturer.

Absolute bargain! These are seriously monster amps and the matching cabs were stellar (still rocking my Nexus 410). Can't justify an amp this heavy these days myself but boy that's a cracking deal for someone!

Shame it's not the FET version I'd have snapped it up by now, hah!

Very tempting, valves alone must nearly be worth that

That's a really good point.

3x ECC83 @ £23 = £69

1x 12BH7 @ £26

8x KT88 @ £40 = £320

 

Total= £415 in valves.

 

That's based on JJs, you could go 8x Gold Lion KT88 @ £80 = £640. Plus some spendy preamp valves taking the valves up to a total of £800+

 

Then you've got the labour on top at prob £200.

 

It's a veritable bargain.

 

It's cheaper for me to buy this than to revalve the one I have.

My God. What a beast. Eight KT88s. I don't want it. I really don't want it. I positively don't want it. No, really. I don't.

You could try mine so that you can make doubly sure that you don’t...

It's cheaper than a service.

[JottoSW1]

How're you getting on with it?

What do you play it through?

mostly this, though ive a few nexus cabs. This is 4 ohm 56lbd and makes the laney a semi practical option. Other than its aabbsurddly loud
