Re: What amp is this?
Hey, Hoss. One thing I forgot to tell ya about the Zinky. The guy who builds 'em, Bruce Zinky, used to work for Fender and headed up their amp department in the Custom Shop. Just wanted to toss that little tidbit out there so you can get an idea of what the clean and reverb would be like. Now, the OD, I think he had some Marshall influence as well.

True, they are excellent value over here in the UK, but the exchange rate makes them too expensive for you guys i would guess. Thier customer service over here is second to none too, seems they just have a dodgy US distributor.

Re: What amp is this?
I was gonna suggest the F series. I have mine on eBay now as well as my Nomad which is ultra versatile. Not really a plug here(wel maybe), but you may want to consider. The prices are in your range too.

I'm not sure if a used Shiva head would really be out of your pricerange. My friend just picked up a very nice used one for $1500 Canadian, which is about $1200US.

Re: What amp is this?
They are much better when you get them off the ground. When I 1st played a Shiva combo @ Ultrasound, it was on the floor, and I wasn't happy with it at all. A couple of weeks later, I played through another Shiva at Ultrasound that was off of the floor, and it sounded WAAAY better.Scott_F said:

Re: What amp is this?
the Shiva sounds alot like what i'm looking for from the description...but it might be a bit too powerful...even at 60 watts i'd have to probably get it pretty loud to get tube saturation overdrive...i wish it had the feature on it like the Mesa Lonestar special where you could cut it down in watts 3 times...that would be perfect!

Re: What amp is this?
i just got a reply on an inquiry i made on the gear page about a Recto-verb-combo...i told him about a possible trade for my P-bass...what do you guys think?
i know this is probably more amp than i need as well, but it kinda looks like a decent deal no!?

Re: What amp is this?
Maybe not...there's a Matchless Chieftan on Ebay right now for about $1300.

It's a 2 x 12. It'll probably go "cheap" because the owner installed a pair of Fender tuilt back legs on it! I paid $1875 for mine...I'll bet it goes for way, way less than that. Good luck! Lew
