So you're saying it's not just me who found it strangely attractive?Dharmajester wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 4:07 pmYou were very lucky to get that one. I sold it to Brian expecting to buy it back once he'd sated his curiosity. He then listed it during a period of a few days my email account unbeknown to me had gone belly up so never received my request to have it back. Was somewhat gutted at the time I must confess...

It was very sweet sounding and importantly for us old geezers very light

Re: That R7 goldtop on trademe
I keep thinking the AST Pro would have done me…I had the 5w Swart that sounded amazing but couldn’t keep up with a practice level band. 20w will thoughSlowy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 6:41 pmDharmajester wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 4:07 pmYou were very lucky to get that one.

Re: That R7 goldtop on trademe
I have had an AST, that was very cool so the Pro would be stunning, It really needed the nite lite attenuator though. I had the SST30 with matching cab, just epic, probably the only amp I have real regrets selling.GrantB wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 7:55 pmI think opsguy has an AST Pro...4 x 6V6 maybe?
