I remember that my dad had one of these when I was a kid.

Weren’t these a traynor design, slightly revoiced by grindrod? 

I do know that after trying one of the Albion ones a few years back that it’s the only amp I’ve ever found that sounded worse than a blackstar.

they need to be a lot cheaper than they are to be worth it, they are utter dog shit.

i actually like the way they look, at least they’re different!

just so you know.... in name only! Might as well have branded them Wolfdale

Not going to be a stampede by the looks of it !

PolarityMan

seems an alright price for a bass cab though

DrJazzTap

An amp is an amp.  How it sounds is the most important question.  Followed by servicing and backup.  Looks don't even enter the equation.  And the price hardly matters especially if it is real world price.  There is very little difference between £350 and £700 if the latter price gives the sound you want and if it lasts for a long time.  Do you remember how much your amp cost?  I don't and I am hardly the only one....

Amen.  If it makes the sounds I am trying to achieve within my budget I've got then I couldn't care less what it looks like.  Why would anybody put looks before the right sound?

That would be like marrying an ugly girl with a nice personality, give me the beauty and I couldn’t give a shit what she acts like.

PMT are selling them off too. I wonder if the third member of the new buying power trio, GuitarGuitar will be doing likewise soon?
