    Re: New Amp: Bogner Shiva / Rivera Hundred Duo Twelve /Rivera Knucklehead Reverb???

    [QUOTE=muttznmongrelz;4413953]As I have sold two guitars and an amp over the last month I just said "the Hell with it" and purchased a couple of tasty tube amps and still had a few bucks left over from the proceeds of the sold items. :thumbs


    *** NO COVID STIMULUS MONIES WERE USED IN THE PURCHASE OF THESE MOST DEFINITELY ESSENTIAL ITEMS ***


    Bogner Shiva EL34 1x12 Silver Panel




    SUPER nice amps congrats! I looked HARD at an Anniversary KT 88 Shiva head with Verb here locally before I bought the PRS Archon. Still want one of those amps at some point really nice super versatile amps!!

      Unfortunately; the Shirva was returned. I got a decent deal on it but after I messaged about the damages seven minutes after opening the package and finding a crushed/mangled/bent three prong power cord and a tolex tear and deep thumb sized dent in the top side edge of the cabinet as if it had been whacked hard with a lead pipe then receiving a response from the Seller of "so what...doesn't affect the amp and you got a good deal on it"...basically took the attitude that "sh*t happens and it was no big deal" so it went back to the seller.

      Too bad because it was clean from the pictures in the listing. I'm sure it got damaged in the 3-4 days it sat in the shop while the Seller "waited for packaging boxes to come in" to allow shipping or in the process of his shipping manager packing it for shipping as it was wrapped with heavy/thick styrofoam corners and bubble wrapped - the package was not damaged so it had to happen prior to packaging. Just kind of a crappy way to do business by either a) not disclosing pre-existing damages or b) just shipping it off anyway to see if I would accept it without disclosing.

          An example of what I am hoping tone-wise with the Shiva...

          Since the Shiva didn't work out might want to look around for a PRS Archon combo.
          Cleans on the Archon will bury the Shiva have played both amps. Crunch is a different flavor more modern thicker and liquid. Check The Emporium over at the Gear page in particular as were a couple at one time there for good prices. You will be shocked at the tones!
          Here is a good demo of the Archon and I LOVE mine!!

              Ascension; I have read some good things and actually had the opportunity to play through a PRS Archon Combo last year. Definitely a cool amp but wasn't what I was looking for at the time.

              TSSVA1: EL34s.

                What a royal pain in the a$$ the Shiva return was. eBay Seller "nbguitar" (Ryan Fowler's Guitar Experience) resisted the return, tried to minimize the legitimacy of damages, attempted to pressure me to retain the damaged item, stated they didn't do returns, etc. but finally agreed to accept the return with another argument ensuing over the Seller pre-funding the return shipping, which resulted in my filing a PayPal case, and then, they finally agreed to cover shipping. Go it packaged better than it was when it arrived, form fitted styrofoam corners, bubble wrap, etc. and shipped it back.

                Seller receives it and sends me pictures of one of the edges split open with the wood/plywood cracked from one corner/end to the other and refuses to refund stating the damages were so minimal that he should never have accepted the return. I had already opened a case with PayPal for the return thankfully, then he opens a case with eBay and alleges that I somehow violated eBay return policy. I had already provided my pics of the damages I found when opening the package upon arrival when I submitted my PayPal case.

                Thankfully, I got an e-mail notification at 12:28am Saturday morning notifying me that they had decided in my favor and that my money would be fully refunded, cost/taxes/shipping ($1,537.00 in total) and today it finally redeposited in my PayPal account. Good freakin' riddance.

                    Hopefully I just had a miserable experience but no kudos for customer service, honest representation, honoring his word as a seller or the return policy spelled out in the auction.
