Fender vs Matchless

Post by MrDINO »

I wouldn't mind hearing some views on this. I have a Fender Strat 54 RI CS in blonde with a nice flame neck built in 96 in immaculate condition. I know someone with a Matchless C30 head that wants to trade and wants cash on top. ?

I think maybe the issue is that you don't see many C30s sell in sunny NZ

You'd have to want that amp pretty badly...

Have you played it? Is that what you came up to Auckland for last weekend?
