Had a few rivoli RI's over the years and always regretted selling my Cherry red one (went to the Sea Pinks bassist in Ireland). Sorely tempted.....

I snapped one up a few weeks ago for £350 inc case. You see the prices on Facebook/ebay that people are asking and its crazy. Look at sold items on ebay for a more true reflection on price. Great guitars but wouldnt pay more than £400 for a decent one

Ive played them exclusively the last few years from 610, 410he, 410hlf, B410 to my current 212av. Wonderful cabs for my type of sound (vintagey, P bass, flats etc). Tried to go lightweight a few years back at significant cost but it was too much of a compromise tone wise.

Bought some obbm speaker cables off Tony. Turns out he is reasonably local so the leads were hand delivered. Superb transaction and one of the good guys 👌

Whilst not strictly 'Solid State' (although SS power sections) ive always like the Ashdown Spyder series (both the 330 and 550) and the Warwick Tubepath 5.1

Always been a P bass man. My main squeeze for years was a MIJ Fender PB70, then a 1978 Tokai Hardpuncher. Always had a back up bass tho that i would switch in and out.....until i got this - a MIM 50’s classic. Since then NOTHING else gets picked up. All ive done to it is my usual P bass mods - pribora pups and my fave flatwounds. Stunning bass to play 👌

Major bargain! Excellent amps

The one in the link? Great amps the non pro II’s, mine is simply the best tone ive ever had 👌

The Mk4’s are generally a bit useless for bass. Very noisy and become “squishy” way too quick. Can be had fir around £350/£400 tho so cheap enough to scratch an itch i suppose.

During lockdown I developed a fascination with the playing and tone of both Nigel Harrison and then latterly Leigh Foxx of Blondie. I worked through Atomic and Dreaming - both relatively simple lines but Atomic has some strange variations of the same line and that mini run Harrison does during the verse/chorus is surprisingly tricky.
