I believe that only 20-25 of these have ever been made, and I understand that Tommy is no longer making them.

Mine was made in 2008, and is an early 80s Dumble-inspired circuit (Talk to Your Daughter era). It has only been used at home in a smoke-free environment.

It's a head, with all original valves (that still test good).

The head case is blonde tolex, rear panel is hardwood (a Tommy nuance). 



Here is a clip of Ramon Goose playing his MBS (albeit a 100W model):

    I had a Mystic Blue Star a few years ago. Amongst all the clones I have owned and heard, it was the best. This is a serious amp, and a seriously reasonable price. (I sold mine for more).

    Time for a few video clips (not me I'm afraid, but RG).
    Fender CS tele with '63 pups straight into amp, Catulator (dumbleator) with Trex Roommate reverb in effects loop set pretty low. Speaker is a Fane Studio 12L in a 1x12 combo cab.

    They may take a while to load when you click on them, but deferred gratification is a good thing!

    Ramon Goose here, loved playing this amp! Wasnt aware my legs were going to feature on the fretboard forum!!!! haha - but the amp was very sweet sounding!  I have owned my 2 Mystic Blues amps for well over 10 years which have been my main recording/gigging amps.

    That’s not helping! Plus, a visit to Reverb had me trip over some pickups that I don’t need either. 

    Meanwhile, this is what happens to your rock sensibilities when you own an MBS:
