Splawn Competition in da house.........with pics!

Re: Splawn Competition in da house.........with pics!

I'd love to have that one. White amps that are clean like that always turn heads.

Nothin like British tone!
 
Re: Splawn Competition in da house.........with pics!

I'd like to have one, but don't need one. I can get all the clean and midgain tones from the Matchless Chieftain, Gibson Goldtone, and Bogner clean and plexi channels. For highgain, the Bogner's 2 channels, plus the Jubilee can cover all the highgain ground. I'm happy with my setup, but still love other cool amps.


Splawn, Diezel, and Fargen VOS are all amps I'd love to have, but just can't justify laying out money for.

Well my fellow band mate has a MK50h which is a great amp, but the Splawn just smokes it!!!!! Both are built to similer standards, so you could say that the Splawn is up there with a Cornford in terns of build quality, but the Splawn has the 70's/80's EL34 mojo going on as well as extra features such as footswitchable gears etc and that just finishes the deal for me.....

WOW, must be a beast of an amp! Now I want to hear one... though I doubt I will as they seem to be harder to get than Bognor over here... or am I looking in the wrong places? What's your bands name and do you ever play in the Midlands? If you do I'll come and check you out... and listen to the amp of course!! Lol... all the best with that one bud.

Cheers mate! Unfortunately, we just play local to the North East as we all work and in my case, shift work at that so playing far afield ain't really an option. I'm also joined up with a few guys to start a new band project and my mate on guitar also has a Splawn!! Here's his Quickrod -

As far as I know, there are only 4 Splawns in the UK.....and our band will have two of 'em!!!!

You'd better bolt those amps to floor every gig you play, cos I might just be lurking ready to pounce on one!!!! ;)

Stevie, do you really live in Gib?

I lived in Rota, Spain for 4 years, and visited Gibraltar several times. Always enjoyed dropping in to hear some proper English. Always got a kick out of crossing the runway to get to town. Of course the monkeys (Barbary Apes?)are a kick in the butt.

Yes. I maintain the airfield navigation aids, and work on the south side of the airfield. Of course most of our equipment is at the top of the rock so I encounter the apes most days. If you watch the opening sequence to The Living Daylights, you'll see the roads I have to drive up to get to our radar!!

Edit: In fact, I'm playing a gig in one of the big hangars on the south side on Friday!!
