    Got this wonderful thing with a cab last month - I’d been looking for a 5500 in a sleeve head, which I’ve now found. It appears to be an amp from a combo in a new rack sleeve. The good is that it’s loud, and not ridiculously heavy. It will happily do band volume at ease into 1 8 ohm cab, so I suspect it’s earth destroyingly loud through 2 8 ohm cabs… The sleeve is cool and tidy. DI signal is ace - did some recording with it last month. the bad… The valve preamp control does nothing - I have tried a new valve (lots of suggestions online that this is commonly the reason for no sound from valve pre control). Thats really it. i replaced the knobs - but will be able to provide a full compliment of Hartke knobs if you’d prefer. One of the silver caps is missing. I’d prefer to keep my new black/blue knobs for the new amp. Not end of the world either way. Collection preferred in Manchester M27, but postage can be looked into - it won’t be cheap… Amp fiddlers may be able to sort the valve pre issue…I stop at replacing preamp valves really…

    There have been several instances for me. my previous drummer and guitarist - just wonderful. Saved a dying project - well, for long enough to get an EP together. this new band have been a joy to join - I joined with a drummer pal and we got this message after a couple of weeks; Ive also had people join things which have ended up being the nail in the coffin. But yea @warwickhuntwhen it’s right, it’s an amazing feeling.

    Lovely thing, but the effects laiden guitarist and keys player mean I’m literally using just the octave. I have a TC Nether. So I don’t really need this. PSU included, Metal Box included. I could do with a boss GEB-7 to tame my Acoustic Bass. Or something with eq sliders (MXR?). Other than that…no need for anything Could always be tempted by Hartke 210 or Hydrive 112. Probably £5 to post in UK, free to collect in Manchester M27

    ‘Kinell!!!Just so skint, otherwise i’d’ve whipped this up At £500! so cheap for what it is. To think, you can buy a Squier Classic vibe P for similar money - this absolutely leathers them!!!

    Enfield (Sims) have ceased building basses…also stopped refinishing works. They just do pickups and LED installation now.

    https://on.soundcloud.com/Woyo7ACf5Yub1FKr6 meh, holding… november rain pt3, will see if I’ve got time to do something better. it was the idea of an 80’s soundtrack. tried a bit of Pino magic here and there, but the kids are in the house bored and noisy…so I think I can do better.

    @WalMan what stand are you using for the acoustic? I was debating having my ABG on one for the 2 songs I’ll use it for.
  22. AndyTravis
    Righto…

    I’m working on band stuff at the moment, really want to get something in for this… is it not del preston then? if it’s withnail and I I have no reference as I only watched it once - well, it was on when I was absolutely off my knackers about 20 years ago.

    Every time the queen came to Cheshire, he would tell her who’s hand she was shaking etc… Honestly though, he made a huge impression on my life - I joined his company as a 19 year old boy and left him as a 30 year old married father of two with a mortgage and a wealth of knowledge and experience. i owe him a beer. Or a Sherry or something.

    @jimmyb625 I recall towards the end, the Manchester shop cost £1200 or so a day to run, it was a very, very expensive building to be in… I did 11 years there. We were never “cool” like PMT were perceived to be, or Johnny Roadhouse…it was a weird company. I never fully understood much of the decision making process - I never felt any iteration of the senior management had a full grasp on what to do next. Some of us had a clue - I ran the social media for a bit, at the birth of facebook/twitter/instagram as a sales platform…they took it off me and killed it in months… Such is life. Met loads of good folk who I still speak to… The old Manchester team met at the shop last year when it reopened as a bijou pizza restaurant 😆
