GUITMAN

Fun Loving Singer, Guitarist and Drummer seek Bass Player to form Band. The Style is Blues, 70's Classic Rock and maybe some original material. The main aim is to have some fun and chew the fat about amps guitars and music. If we get good enough maybe do some Gigs. We are in our 40's and 50's and welcome anyone of any age to join in the fun.

Hi Cocco
I am a Guitarist (American Deluxe Fender Strat) who has just picked up my guitar again after not playing a note for a year. I was in a Band two years ago which folded after the singer and bass player left. I am looking to do 60's 70's Blues, Blues Rock and Classic Rock . I already have a Singer lined up and some Drummers I could ask to dep untill we find a permanent one. I am just looking to have some fun and don't expext to Gig much or even ever get paid.
Have Flat full of guitar amps and even an Electrovoice 2KW PA System. I am 51 and live in Riverside Cardif. Hope you are well. Drop me a line if you fancy a jam or a little bit more commitment and join the band?
Stay Cool Rock Steady

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1196105' date='Apr 11 2011, 07:24 PM']Great stuff.
I had a 2nd hand one in the 80's used initially as a stage monitor but eventually became my main amp.
Loads of different sounds including a great overdriven simulated "tube" sound.
Used it with anything from 15's to 12's to 10's and sounded great with them all.

Was well used and gigged regularly. Used at quite high volumes in a rock band.

They have my thumbs up and as you mentioned already they look great when powered up with the old neon style back-lighting.

Still have it although its on loan to my younger brother who uses it regularly and had never even heard of these amps before i gave him a loan off.
P.S. never seen it since -

Aaahhh those heady days of transistor amps.
They'll never be popular you know

Thanks for the memory and reminder.

Hi I am a Guitarist (Guitman) (Martin)

I Bought a second hand H/H IC100 in 1980 for £110
This is the two channel Guitar version with reverb, Tremolo and foot switchable Sustain and Tremolo.
And of course it has the cool green electroluminecent front panel.

The IC100 was the model before the VS Range and obviously the Guitar Version.
VS stands for Valve Sound even though the amp is totally transistor.

I sold it to my Best friend about 1982 when I bought a Peavey Clasic 50w.
This had a Transistor Preamp and a 50w Valve Power Amp with a Phaseor and Reverb built in with a 4 button footswitch awsome amp.
My mate still has the H/H IC100 and I borrowed it and used it a week ago as a slave amp for my PA System with my Marshall 6 channel 100w PA Amp.

I am an Electronics Engineer.

H/H equipment is built to the highest Brick sh*t House standard and can be repaired forever.
In order to keep an amp of this era running well all the electrolytic capacitors will need to be changed about £30.
If you do this it will carry on forever.
The amps were built so well they are virtually Indistructable.
The amps were built in the UK Somewhere Near Cambridge and unfortunately H/H went bust in the 90's.

We have loads of H/H PA amps in work and they just keep on going with no maintenance. They are indistructable.

The Guitar Amps are cool as f*** and if front panel is not cracked and still glow green are well holding on too.

I am going to change all the caps in the Power Amp section as a thank you to my friend and a passport to borrow it again whenever I need it.

You Bass Guys are so cool you have the best Musicians Web site going. I wish there was a Guitar Chat for Guitarists like me.

My greatest thank you to your site is that i found a Bass Player via Bass Chat and now I have a complete Band and am months away from doing my First Gig.

Long Live Bass Chat

Long Live Rock And Roll
