Hola all,

I have my H&K combo up for sale, infact its been there for sometime. As its not sold I have to ask myself how come?

Do these amps have a bad rep or are they overpriced at retail?

The amp itself is cracking, I just dont really have a need for it hence the sale, simple as that, its not because its the best amp in the world 'its just not my sound' or due to car needing work, wedding needing financed, my cat needs an operation 'i have to let it go'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its just that i have a rig that i would rather add to or alternativly get something in a bass or amp head..

Anyway, whats the script with the resale of these combos,,,can anyone shed some light??

Cheers
Steven

possibly due to the fact that there are relatively few about.

Similar thing happened to me when I had the chance to be endorsed by Kustom - nobody seems to own them or even own up to owning them so I had to pass on the offer cos I don;t want to be endorsing something that might be crap.

If it was a more popular brand that everyone talked about then you'd have sold it by now but some won't have heard of them or just may not have had the chance to try one. Not saying its a bad brand, I've heard good things about them, just that GAS is usually fuelled by likeminded people talking about something and that makes others want it as well and go out looking for it

It is a pisser - you might have to sell your EB-1 if you can;t find a buyer for your amp :)

with my record of basses I'd probably end up selling it back to you in a few months time anyway[/quote]

am the same Del. However I would always usually prefer a swap of some sort cos I love messing about with new gear. The wife really aint keen on new gear coming in and 'cluttering' the house,,,,,but its fine for her to have the kitchen cluttered with fridge, freezer, washingmachine and dryer........bloody double standards!!!!!!!!!

oh aye without a doubt they are the mutz nuts, I just don't really have a need for it. The fact I'm selling it at such a huge discount I'm suprised it ain't away, however as del stated they are just not known enough about
