NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Ace Bass playing

One of my favourite purchases was my 2550 Marshall head. I was in Nelson for New years eve around 2003, popped into Cash Converters and they had a Marshall 2550 head and JCM800 4x12 for $1000, offered them $900 for the head and cab, then had to figure out how to fit it in the boot of my 1986 Honda ...

What does this pu deliver that you couldn't get from the Tyson you replaced (Bobby Tyson arguably being one of the best P90 winders on the planet) ??? The previous pickup was comically high-output.

Another aquaintance up in smoke. Turning out to be an interesting month
