Greenboy Crazy 88 (by Tricky Audio) £500 Harrow

[Happy Jack]

So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of kit for sale (really not wanting to sell any of it you understand) and once a couple have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time.

 

I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that almost all my gigs are with PA support so my Crazy 8 is perfectly adequate as a stage monitor. Common sense says that this gorgeous cab should get back out in circulation.

 

I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing a can that doesn't get used with a different cab that won't get used seems like a complete waste of time and effort.

 

On the other hand, much of my amplification is pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated.

 

I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option.

 

Here's something pretty exotic. It sounds great with electric bass (particularly fretless) and quite outstanding with DB.

 

 

It's not pristine. It's played enough gigs to pick up some scuffing to the grille and a couple of marks (see below) but it's a solid 9/10 on the cosmetics, and definitely 10/10 on performance.

 

 

Simple, recessed carry handle so your amp can sit atop it.

 

 

One side completely clean.

 

 

The other slightly less so.

 

 

That chip is about the size of the end of your thumbnail. Assuming your thumbnails are the same size as mine, of course. 

 

 

Can be daisy-chained and has a variable tweeter.

 

 

Jeez! Would you look at the log scales on that!

Basschat first got interested in these over 10 years ago - I blame @Clarky
