barkin Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Up for grabs is my '70s, Watkins (WEM) valve combo. It's a Power Musette MKll - only 15watts but surprisingly loud, all valve, with a 12 inch (12 Ohm) Goodmans speaker. I'm not sure if the speaker is original - it's the one that was there when I bought it. It's identical to the Dominator MKlll, except it has a twin cone speaker which was supposed to make it more suitable when used for organ/accordion. Whatever, it's been sat under my stairs unused for the last 5-6 years, but I plugged my Strat in yesterday to make sure it all still works, and it sounds fantastic. Has a gorgeous warm yet bright tone at lower volumes, which progresses through to a classic overdriven bluesy sound as it's cranked up. Has 2 separate input channels, with volume, bass and treble controls, with an additional treble boost switch on channel 1. Some scuffs in the covering, mainly at the corners, but otherwise it's in pretty good nick considering its age. The bad ? It has the knob missing from one of the tone controls (see picture. Still works - just the knob missing) and a couple of the pots are a bit noisy and crackly. Looking for £120, collected from Cambridge.

Beer of the Bass Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 If you'd be willing to box it up and send it by courier, I'd be interested. I like my little WEM clubman, but need something louder and this would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophano Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yes! I love these! I've got an old Wem and it's brilliant. Full of charactor and charm. Have a bump on me. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 That is a [b][i]seriously [/i][/b]good price for what is basically a vintage WEM Dominator. [url="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/watkins/musette.html"]http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/watkins/musette.html[/url] Used as a guitar amp, this Power Musette is about as good as it gets, and at useable volumes too.

barkin Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 'tis indeed a great amp. I'm only shifting it because I don't use it, and I need the space. Still here - collection only. Could be interested in a trade for a Jazz bass of some description...Squier, SX etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
