    I've got a Matchless Nighthawk, and it's one of the best live/rehearsal amps Ive ever encountered. Ive owned a Lightning previously, and that was awesome too.

    Good luck in your search =)

  • That looks stunning. I have my eye on a Lightning, but just looking to see what else is possibly around!

    Just to throw into the mix, do consider 65 Amps as well. I have their older version (blue label) London head which offers the 12ax7 / ef86 options. Sounds great. Their newer models (red label) are more affordable but just as good I presume. Keep that on your list if one comes up!

    I think @Jeebas is selling a handwired BC Cub 15 for a very keen price. I used to have one, brilliant amps. I have no affiliation with the seller.

    Thanks mate !

    Its a beauty; a 1994 (year) 360/12 WB. The binding has gone that lovely cream colour. 

    I’ve added the Capri knobs and the gold hardware.

    Also, just to interject, I have scoured the internet for the past four weeks, and I’m aware of basically all Bad Cat and Matchless amps that are listed for sale already from most common UK shops etc, so this is more to see if anyone is will to sell one that isn’t already listed, or any from European sites etc! 

    Thanks everyone!

    I am now the happy owner of that lovely amp. It is lush, I would recommend one absolutely.

    Buy the Genz Benz on here.......it's cheap enough to move on without getting hurt if you don't like it
    I had one ,a Morgan AC20 and a Lightning side by side ..........I actually thought it was the best of the three
    it's most certainly no lesser
    youtube some of the reviews

    I was talking to a chap on FB yesterday selling a matchless avalon for 1500.   He's in Leeds so might be too far but I'd have been very tempted if I hadn't bought the bogner at the weekend.
