All sold: MJW £399/£425 shipped, PAN Attenuator £SOLD Peavey £SOLD Dr Z £Sold
Subtext: my wife is sick of all the 'ugly black boxes' and wishes I had just one box - luckily she's happy for me to spend a good bit of cash on a new amp, so long as I get 'the right one' and it doesn't look ugly - but I need to unload this lot first!
Trade-wise, I might consider a 20w or under combo that isn't black, or a USA Jazzmaster but that's about it! I'm based in North Manchester but would drive a little to avoid posting any of these! Pictures at the bottom. Any questions please ask

Peavey Encore 65 - £220 SOLD FOR £175So, I got this as I worked out it has the same preamp as the amps Sonic Youth use and I generally like their tone. It fulfilled a lot of that but really feels like a pedal platform - flexible EQ, really tight bass and absolutely inhaled drive pedals, plus some nice reverb. It's a dual 6L6 amp, loads of volume and I'd much prefer it to a Hot Rod Deluxe!! Sounds great though I'd probably service it at some point soon to check it over - price reflects this. Comes with fitted cover.
Dr Z 2x10 Cab - £320 Now £310 NOW £275Awesome, super versatile cab - can be open or closed back and these 10s are full and great (I'm happy to discuss selling this cab 'unloaded' so I can keep one or both of the speakers!). 8 ohm, 140w power handling. The blonde tolex is absolutely beautiful but has been a bit of a double-edged sword - my wife now realises not all amps are black and ugly!!
MJW V6-15 JTM/Bassman - £475 Now £450 Now £399This is the one I've toyed with keeping, rehousing, somehow sneaking past the wife, but I think ultimately I want a bit of a change (and I know where Martin is if I want another!). This started life as a Roadstar but I got Martin to convert it to a similar design as the 'blues' mode on his V6-20 which is the JTM/Tweed Bassman thing, plus 6V6s. I've definitely tried to accentuate the bassman sound with a 12AT7 in the PI and a well broken-in Cannabis Rex speaker, but swap in a 12AX7 in the PI and a Greenback and it's properly in Marshall territory (the Chinese Greenback was the best!). I've gigged this for a good few years and (a) it's plenty loud enough to gig anywhere, even as a cleanish pedal platform and (b) has never let me down, not once. Awesome workhorse, someone will be very happy with it! Also willing to sell 'unloaded' for a bit less - I bloody love that speaker.
PAN Amplification 100w Attenuator (Dr Z Air Brake Clone) - £130 Now £120 Now £100 inc delivery SOLDBought this recently and have enjoyed using but prefer just using my little THR at home rather than having my amp attenuated at the highest setting (although I was pleasantly surprised by how well it did that!). Works great and looks funky.
