Seriously though folks, he worked at the then Mainline Music(Takapuna) for a few years back in the '90s with Frank John and Alan Lavis, a monster player as are the other two guys, possesses a good dry sense of humour, loves his gear and it's hard to prize it from him.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, in the early ‘80s I used to run. ‘65 BF Twin Reverb…. Because it was the only one I could afford! :lol: Beautiful amp. Early ‘70s Strat into MXR distortion+ and weirdly enough, an MXR Pitch Transposer used mostly as the most expensive rack mount chorus ever! Unbeliev...

Got a '65 BFSR years ago from a mate of mine, had to get the caps done, put in a new fibreglass board as the old cardboard ones bend out of shape and cause static leakage, plus a new set of speakers, the CTS and Oxfords they used back in the day aren't much chop imo. It's very tuneful, however crank...

And the second hand market rises accordingly, on it goes.

Rockshop are the gibson agents so there's no consignment stock.

Not a shocker as such more a slightly bemused observation. Called in to the K'Rd Rockshop the other day and a saw a latest Gibson CS '59 ES 335, got a soft spot 335s, reasonable neck and weight and a good tobacco sunburst finish asking $13k.

Prices in the stratosphere no doubt......we'll see I guess.

I guess NZ dollars for the 20w 12" one would be in early 3k through the Rockshop if they decide to bring it in.
Up against Fender and Supro that's a big ask.

Anyone wind up with one of these? Whats the general consensus in terms of utility as an 'at home' amp with some chewy flavour ? Ticks a few boxes in terms of aestehtic, size, weight, power scaling and use of large glass toobs). Plus the cream back loaded cab is appealing. Yep, picked one up in Sept...

Well to summarise, fancy amps turned digital, not all cracked up to be, hard to buy in living crisis, all owned by Conway, run out of parts, temptresses for playing with ones 9 lber and something about crunchy pants. A worthy discussion, thanks all. I'll keep my eyes out to match the swart and redp...

That's a fact, they've gone from strength to strength since '19. However they're not perfect and their guitars are generally costly but they sell all that they produce and are one of the 'big boys' of musical instrument manufacture. '19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd7ySopIwog I wonder if in the...

Gibson are less mockworthy now, since Henry Juszkiewicz was kicked to touch. That's a fact, they've gone from strength to strength since '19.
