Happy Jack Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) *** EDIT EDIT EDIT *** Having got the photo I wanted (that wonderfully beaten-up AC30), I've been asked to change the topic to see if we can attract some more photos of weird & wonderful valve amps from bygone times (as he wipes away a tear of nostalgia). ORIGINAL TOPIC STARTER: Seems that most things can be found here on Basschat if you ask. I need a photograph of a combo. It needs to be recognisably a classic British amp, preferably (but not esentially) a WEM, but above all it needs to be something you might find in a junkyard. The aim is to place a photo of a mangy mongrel in front of it, as a parody of the HMV logo. What can you offer me?

deksawyer Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 You want British, how about a Hiwatt: [url="http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/nov07/images/HiwattHiGain.jpg"]http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/nov0...iwattHiGain.jpg[/url] D.

Happy Jack Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Very nice ... but hardly something you'd find in a junkyard! This needs to be a wrecked combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have anything like that trashed AC30 in the photo that Musky linked to, that would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 err i've got another little giant like the amp in the first picture thats a little worse for wear still not as bad as the ac30, the roost is the worst condition head i've had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Now the thread title has been changed this is my main set up; it's a 1978 Fender Bassman head. The cab is only 1994 but is in worse condition This is just a camera phone pic of my onstage set up from last weekends gig edited as I thought the photo being included might help!?!
