Musty old solid state jazz amps

Post by quyet »

I am talking Henriksen and Polytone

Did these ever make their way to NZ? Anyone see any for sale back in the day?

I sell new Henriksens through Guitars Rock and use the Bud myself as a vocal and backing track PA.

I've owned a Henriksen Jazz Amp 112ER purchased off Trade Me. Not sure if the original owner purchased it locally. Great amp, especially for archtops.

Pretty sure I’ve worked on a couple Polytones in NZ. I actually built a Minibrute clone for someone a while back. Worked out well but I wouldn’t want to do one again…
