FS: Matchless Nighthawk Reverb

Frankel84Frankel84 Frets: 102
in Amps £
Bought on this 'ere parish late last year as a grab'n'go alternative to my big Matchless rig. Cos I'm old and lazy. And the big stuff pulls my arms out their sockets!!!  :o

Can't believe how good it sounds. In all but the very largest spaces, it's every bit the, ahem, match for the 30 Watters. And the oversized 1x12 has almost as much throw/spread as the 2x12.

Plus the reverb is a really nice addition. Matchless can be brutally 'in yer face' and I'm not a good enough player to pull that off without a little ambience.

So why am I selling? Well, the Nighthawk is so good that it's identical sounding to my '93 HC (which I'll never let go of) and it's a bit 'boring' having two identical amps. So I'm only selling to raise fun tokens for other unnecessary purchases.

Looking for what I paid. £2000. I don't have the original bomb proof packaging, so it's collection only from just south of Luton.

    @peanuts Sorry, not really looking for trades as I'm trying to raise funds for a major purchase.

    With Easter almost upon us (how did that happen, where's this year going!?!) I'm going to have to withdraw this for a while.

    Gonna be all over the place for a few weeks and at the moment I can't be sure if this will be with me.

    Still here for a couple of days though if anyone's on the cusp.  ;)

    Back from my south coast "tour" and thought I'd give this remarkable amp a nudge.
