Shambo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Just a shame these things aren't 20 years old. Then you can add 'vintage' to the description and double your asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one of the aformentioned venues we were playing a wedding and were a bit concerned about the size of the stage (big enough for drums and backline basically).
