FS/FT Marshall VBA400 / VBC810

Howdy folks.

For sale today I have a lovely Marshall VBA400 and fridge.

I've had it since new for some 8 years now. Its been in and out of use for much of that time, I'd say only around 5 years of real playing use.

It's been in the wars a little, especially the cab (as you might expect!) so has the usual associated scrapes etc. to the tolex.

Mechanically fine, and has been re-valved a few years back. I also have the old valves and will include with the amp for spares etc. One of these is blown, but unfortunately I didn't mark which. Cretin!

Has been in a studio for the last year or so and has had very light use there.

The cab is fully functioning sound-wise but has severely damaged wheels that would need to be replaced before using it really - unless you have a well-trained drummer to lug it about with you.

Will take pictures at rehearsal tomorrow.

Also am happy to sell separately to aid a sale, although would rather sell them as a pair for obvious reasons.

From looking at the others for sale here I'm thinking around the £650 mark for the head + 7 6550's, £250 for the cab due to its dilapidated state. £800 the pair. Paid around £1600 for this rig (and got a bit of a deal) so bargain central here.

As for trades, looking for quite a bit of stuff at the mo. Amps with a valve pre/SS power would be nice, and looking for a decent replacement for a Mesa 4x10 I sold recently. Also in the market for a pretty Jazz and thinking about getting an acoustic bass for jamming - but any trades not involving a cab would need to be +cash, as I'll need to replace the cab for gigging soon.

Hope this little tidbit tempts someone... The joys of GAS!

Hah! So you claim, Doctor, so you claim.
A reply to my numerous e mails would've been deemed polite.
Ah, well.
