*SOLD* FS/FT - Rift Tweed 15

theterracat

A bit of a feeler as I actually think maybe I should keep a Tweed Deluxe in my life, and this one has the great power scaling feature for home use. But I should be on 1 amp in, 1 amp out, and having just acquired one, here we go:

Rift Tweed 15 - your classic tweed deluxe (5e3) circuit, but with high quality Rift components and handwired here in the UK.

Originally bought this from a brilliant forum member, one @Jeebas and I will put it up for the same sale price as it remains in the condition I received it from him. All is working, tubes are great as far as I can tell, and speaker is lovely. Not gigged by me, stored in smoke free house, and moved about sparingly and with care.

It began life as a head unit, but the prior owner asked Chris at Rift to carefully put it into one of their combo shells and then it got an excellent Celestion G12H30 70th Anniversary speaker installed and now breathes vintagey goodness and edge-of-blowup tweed sounds. Complete with London Power scaling, and upgraded components that allow you to swap in 6L6s and re-bias for added power if that is your wont. (Personally, it is capable of being so loud already, I cannot imagine wanting to do the 6L6 move unless you just needed headroom for pedals or some massive venue. But that's just my view!)

For a sale, I'd be asking £1100 collected in London. Less inclined to ship because it gives me irrational heartburn.

Trade or part-ex offerings? I have most things covered, but I am intrigued by older Bad Cats, Matchless, 70s-80s Marshalls or possibly some standard fare guitars (HSS strats, PRS, etc).

Photos please! And where in London are you? 

theterracat

Delayed in adding photos but working on it! Long day at work. Am located in SE London, Greenwich.

Rapidly taken, shadowy photos added, but they do show the important bits.

Bump. A new week, a new tweed deluxe style combo? Have had some interesting trade offers, but nothing sealed yet.

theterracat

Bump!

Rift Tweed still for sale or trade

theterracat

Still for selling on this fine tweed combo, as I have just acquired a new amp and need to move something on against my collector instincts.

A new weekend, a Tweed for your sonic collection
