*price drop - £299* 1973 GEM M.BASS 30W Valve amp and cab £500

[Dosi Y'Anarchy]

It's with a really heavy heart that I'm listing this, I just moved to a flat from my parents house, sold off a bunch of bases and amps and was hoping I would have enough space.....I don't. 

It's a truly odd one because it's a hybrid BUT the power section is valve and the preamp is transistor.

So that's 30w of valve power but it actually stays relatively clean. The input can be overdriven by high output basses. 

It actually reminds me of an ampeg amp a bit, it's deep and warm but not dirty. Being a 45 year old amp there are some idiosyncrasies with the knobs but everything works and it sounds great. 

So, I've tried to dig up what info I could, found a bunch of guitarists playing through these on YouTube. It's branded GEM and is Made in Italy, and I've seen the same models branded Galanti. Inside the head there is a sticker dated 11.05.73.

Looks like someone put a handle on the top too.

You know I mentioned it reminded me of an ampeg? Well, as well as the sound, the head is designed to be screwed in to the removable top of the cab and flipped INTO the cab for storage, although I've not actually tried doing that.

I'm looking for £299 collected from Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire.

Any questions, please ask.

Regards

Theo
