PRICE DROP Fs GARTONE BLUESMAN £1575

mgaw

Bought this to replace my Vic 5112 but after spending the day comparing the two, I prefer the Vic,  turns out sag doesn’t suit my style of playing.

make no mistake though the Gartone is a fantastic amp, it’s in excellent condition, recently serviced and got a clean bill of health.

i have a good sturdy box so shipping via UPS is no problem buyer to assume the risk and cost.

They are the best Tweed 5e3 in my opinion

Pat Guitars London has the exact same amp for sale ( same year too )  at £2495 .....it's still worth it

Rather tasty sounding amp bump

Is this a straight up 5e3 2 x  6v6 12 watts?

@AJS 18watts 5E3 but built with meticulous attention to detail and using all the best components,  outstanding Amp

AJS

certainly looks pretty

Think Lazy J and then think a bit better (to my ears anyway )

Still here, still great, still in search of a new home bump

Any idea what transformers are in it? It's a simple circuit- but the transformers make quite a difference.

 regret selling mine .. don't suppose a trade for a Matchless LR is of interest

Sorry, too much amp for my needs unfortunately.
