SOLD: Rift Amplification Blondie - 6G6-B Blonde Bassman 1x12" Combo, NOW READY
What's Hot
This amplifier was ordered as a custom build, but the customer has since changed his mind and ordered a different model. As it's such a cool idea and would make a great gigging amp, I've decided to keep it on the build schedule and offer it to someone else. Size-wise it'll be halfway between a PR and a DR, so quite compact and not overly cumbersome, it should weigh around the same as a DR. Mockup and pics below.
The specs:
- Blonde Bassman 6G6-B circuit - 50w.
- Solid welsh-pine cabinet with birch ply baffle and rear panels - 22" x 18.5" x 10"
- Rough Blonde Tolex with Wheat grille cloth
- WGS G12C/S 75w Ceramic speaker
- 2 x 7025, 2 x ECC83, 2 x 6L6
- Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps
- Rift and Heyboer transformers
- Switchcraft sockets
- Eyelet board construction, handwired with yellow cloth wire
Price is £1600 inc VAT, padded soft cover, and Rift lifetime warranty.

on a more serious note that is a brilliant idea for a grab and go amp.

The issue is that should a courier damage the amplifier I can't get hold of another chassis to build a replacement, which would write the amplifier off.

Shipping damage - a drop from even a small height onto a hard floor (say falling off a conveyor belt) is enough for the transformers to bend a chassis, no amount of bubble wrap and packing peanuts can stop that kind of damage.
