Was that the $481 one?

Got a 1988 Marshall 1960a with the white label T75s (my favourite speaker). It's beat to hell so you know it's good, and the car smells like a damp garage now, so you know it's doubly good. 80% of the screws are rusted and unusable, the tolex is hanging off, the grille cloth is ripped and theirs no logos anymore, but it sounds glorious.

White label T75s are fabulous.

Seems like it needs some love but might just need tubes.
Will be poking it with a soldering iron and it’ll be singing by the time I’m through with it, and might be worth your time by then.

Angled front, handles on both sides, almost like something to lean over…didn’t think of that did she…

Nice, an offset! I was recently schooled on the definition!!

I've been on the fence on buying a Harley Benton Fusion model for a long time (due to the high shipping costs and pain involved if I need to return it).

But I wanted a guitar with a double-locking tremolo (and stainless steel frets) so I went ahead and ordered their Fusion 3 FR EB model.

Despite it being shipped from Germany (to USA then to Aussie then finally to NZ), I am very happy with the fact that it arrived almost completely set up. It was almost in tune as well! The only thing I had to do was just some slight intonation tweaks.

Weighs at a not-so-light 3.8KG but the strap I ordered for it really helps.

The Roswell HAF pickups sound fine to me. I thought I would need to replace them but I like them a lot.

There is a finish crack near the volume knob but it doesn't bother me. The specs I'm getting with this guitar at the price I've paid (including the high shipping fee) is still a lot for the money.

I totally expected to have Ramsay work his magic in terms of setup but I was very pleasantly surprised. Plays amazing for me now.

Now I can do crazy whammy stuff without having to retune afterwards! Very happy with the guitar.

Weber Mini Mass attenuator. I have two non-MV amps that sound great with a bit of heat in the tubes. Be interested to see if it sounds any different to the BrakeLite clone I have currently.

Also have a second mechanical keyboard incoming. Need something small and wireless to take in my backpack. Limited colour options so went with the goofy option. https://www.computerlounge.co.nz/shop/p ... ink-switch

Lots going out. Three pedals. Effects switcher. Old mechanical keyboard. Busy week.

Yeah, I have 18W and 22W amps that I'm using with it so should be ok. I know they're probably putting out more power than they say on the tin, but looks like the Mass Mini has been used with these power levels before without issue.

And at $120 was hard to say no.
