Simms-Watts 100w head for sale/swap.
Classic British valve head. Think Orange, but with more stability at high volumes (probably down to extremely heavy-duty build)
Built early '70's, the same model used by Mick Ronson during the "Ziggy" years. Switchable output, 7.5 or 15 ohms. I've used it with a 4x12 with Celestions (cab NOT for sale)
This amp WILL NEED REPAIR WORK ! It hasn't been used for a couple of years, and will need at least a new set of EL34s, a couple of ECC83s (though it still has 2 of the original Mullards from the 70s), a new mains cable (old 3-pin Bakelite fitting) and a proper service. However, to valve amp enthusiasts, I'm 100% sure you'll get your moneys worth. A fully working example of the same model went for €850 on eBay a few days ago.
A beautiful-sounding authentic hand-wired piece of kit. I've had it for about 15 years, and I just don't have any use for it. I hate to see it go, but an amp like this should be PLAYED by someone who'll appreciate it.
Pics available - Looking for about €500, or preferably trade for;
Any decent Fender solid state amp (at least 100w)
Roland JC120
Fender Jazzmaster (any condition!)
or something interesting like that....
cheers
