FS: Moody BA40 Bassman

[AntLockyer]

The time has come to let this go. I've owned it for about 10 years and used it a handful of times only.

Built in australia in the 60s it's in pretty good condition, the grill cloth on mine is black (poor picture until I get home tonight)



It has two chanels one for guitar the other for voice/accordian(!)

Some info I've gleaned from the internet

Moody tube guitar amplifiers were made by R. Moody & Co. Pty Ltd, of Sydney, NSW , Australia during 1960s through early 1970s. The company was owned by Bert (Robert) Moody, who passed away in 2005.

Moody also produced amplifiers under the Ultratone brand. Vintage amp collectors value Moody amps for their killer tone, point-to-point wiring and quality components. Some of the Moody amplifiers, such as the BA40 stand out for their distinctive styling.

Moody amplifiers were initially made at the Moody workshop at Board Street, Lidcombe, NSW. After a fire Moody relocated to a purpose built factory at:

126 Bombay Street
Lidcombe, NSW
Australia

Moody ceased making guitar amplifiers in early-to-mid 1970s, as cheaper Japanese amplifiers took hold in Australian market. Moody then became the Australian distributor for Baldwin Piano and Organ Company (USA) products. The Moody brand was relaunched in 2007.

They are rare especially over here, this is the best amp I've ever heard for guitar, amazing recording amp, I doubt it would be any use for a gigging bass amp due to the output.

More pics to follow tonight, I'm looking for £400ovno collected from Orpington in Kent. Can demo but you'll need to bring a cab.
