Post your vintage valve amps here

*** 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?

This would be absolutely PERFECT ... but it's "All Rights Reserved" so I can't save it to my hard disk. :)

hope these are useful, i think i have a few more pictures on my camara if you need anymore[/quote]

Thanks Umph, good selection but (like all your kit) none of it really illustrates the idea of a junkyard.

If you have anything like that trashed AC30 in the photo that Musky linked to, that would be ideal.

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!?!
