I seem to recall that the company was originally set up in the UK selling guitars, basses and amp/combos - even strings......maybe in the 2000 - 2008 period. Then things went quiet and the brand resurfaced, then based in Canada. Not sure if it was the same management. The design philosophy on the guitars included quite a few with RAF-type roundels on them. I think everything was manufactured in the far-east, me thinks Korea in the beginning.

And in the best "cart before horse" fashion I then googled the brand and found this: https://www.indiegitar.no/about.htm

 

Cheers BlueMoon, I found that website too. interesting to hear they were formed around  2000 for some reason I thought they were older.

Picked this up recently cause it was cheap af and my Ashdown combo wasn't doing it for me any more. The brand is Indie, model IB-200. 200 watts with a 15 inch speaker. It's a rather growly sounding beast with very effective tone controls. 

I've tried to find information about it online to no avail. Well thee is a web site but its a waste of time.

All said I'm very pleased with my £85 investment and can't wait to crack it up but even with the volume at 3 and gain a 5 it rattles my windows.
Do any of you guys have any experience with the brand or this amp? Apparently they made nice guitars and that's all I know. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this thread. 

always liked this.

Hi, tom1946 is this wonderful bass still for sale? I know I'm late to the party

And from the sublime to the (almost) ridiculous, and rather nasty Thunder 1A. He's only asking £100 for it but does need some love.

Is it straight to iPlayer or does the BBC transmit it on a "normal" channel first?

I've had the pleasure of this DVD for many years, and thought some may enjoy the recommendation to watch it. A wondrous, seminal work.

No way, it's just some MIC BS.

Cheers Happy Jack, the most useful thing I relearned from the singing lessons I took years ago was tummy breathing.

Perhaps you were, iirc this track is credited to have Glaswegian backing vocals.

Can't say I've ever heard of this axe before, but the price looks right at £650.

I really enjoyed that Steviedee, cheers and best of luck.

But which is cooler.

Thanks for making this thread hamfist. Those look like to fine basses.

Go on Hamfist, tell of your fishy ways? Oh and I do dig your A1 makeovers.

^^^I'm sure Geddy used Badasses too.
