Marshall Lead and Bass 20...... PURPLE!!!!

[Strange Brew]

Went to a shop - in the beautiful city of Bath, here in England. Was looking at Cornell amps, when I saw this thing for sale......

It's a 1970....Original purple covering and totally clean inside..... do I want it? Yes I do!!! But the finances say "No". Or rather, "Non!!!", if you catch my drift?

How much was it brewist?

 

[Strange Brew]

fifteen hundred english pounds...... Voxster

 

[DavidJ]

Sounds a but hefty to me - £1k a bit more like it?

Fool that I am (no reference to your excellent axe intended) I bought a marshall 50 bass head for £250 from a friend and used it as a guitar amp for a bit. I then sold it back to the same friend for the same money. Last I heard of it was in a shop with a £850 price on it (about two years ago).

Mind you it wasn't purple....................

 

[Voxman]

Thats way way way out of line Brew ... 1/2 that on ebay for a green one but moer power to em!

 

[Strange Brew]

I got it wrong, guys...

According to their web page, they want over £1700 for it! I must've misread the ticket yesterday

FANTASY!!

BTW Vox, they also got a croc Selmer T&B Combo

 

[Voxman]

Have a linky Brewsly? How much is that 2000 Quid! ;D

 

[Strange Brew]

It isnt on their web site, Voxy... and didn't have a ticket on. I'll find out....

 

[Voxman]

Always interested, to say the least ! O0 :uglystupid2:

 

[vkgphil]

i have never seen a purple marshall amp. coolness! i am inspired now. where'd i put that purple spray paint at?

 

[Strange Brew]

Vox, the Selmer is not for sale.... it's the owner's personal amp! :)

 

[Voxman]

And I know why! O0 :evil: Thank you Brewhopper :coolsmiley:

Muwahahahahahahahahahaha.......................
Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha................... :crazy2: :uglystupid2:

I know where these er......"treasures" were to be found........Snark, Snark, :roll:

As neither Brew or I are THAT Big on Litigation Mentioning NO Names at all.............. "I say ! What Rare and Vintage items one has found old chap!" The prices...(sic) ...or maybe that should be "Joke Lists" (?????) make absolutely perfect sense to me now!!! Muwahahahahahaha.....

Bath is a Nice Place.....shame that the Leaches of Musical Society got their hooks into it !

If you buy there you take a financial Bath ... :funny: hence .... :roll:

Alternatively....should the Mood take you?
A quick stroll down a well known London Street whilst singing a lusty chorus or two of "Den Marks, Den Marks, Oh Den Mark's Treat" will also provide One with hours of Glee. In "their" Shop (??????) One will rub shoulders with all manner of Self Opinionated Experts. Well worth a Visit....especially if armed with a Suitable Object Hitting For The Use Off ! :roughup: :roughup: :roughup:

They are world famous for, shall we say, making grown men cry, the world over ..... on the roof up the rear stairway one can look out the window and see parts ER,... ageing! I've heard they have a network of "gifted craftsmen" making, I mean restoring, I mean putting together, I mean .... never mind ... vintage treasures ... Hight up London sources are wonderful to have

disclaimer: names have been changed to protect the guilty! ;D

 

[Lex Lurid]

These "Craftsmen" of which you speak?
Would these be the very same "Craftsmen" that Crashed a Funeral of a reasonably well known Guitarist and thrust a Business Card into His Widow's Hand during the Service?

Oh Surely Not?

[DavidJ]

Wha' appen Lurid?

I always thought the Tin Bath and Tin Pan R&V people were ok if a bit bullish with their pricing? Funeral story? Please PM, no names, no packdrill.

Honk honk
