JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Jan 30 2016 10:08 PM Yes, I want to raise money to buy a Brownface head (or clone like a Gomez Surfer) and I'm willing to part with all these cool amps to be able do it! PM me or answer here. — Squink Out! Top
JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Feb 09 2016 12:02 AM WOw! Overwhelming response... (echoes of cave dripping, occasional bat squeak) So I traded away my GA-20T for a Gretsch 6159 2x12", which just might suit the current combo I am playing with. That leaves the Music Man 112 Sixty-Five and Ampeg SS 140C, BF'd SF Twin Reverb, if anyone is interested. — Squink Out! Top

I haven't gotten any other responses yet from cl either, and that's a big market here in LA. there are some rich guys out there among us, though! Lawyers who surf. — Squink Out! Top
da-ron Joined: Jan 02, 2009 Posts: 1307 The original Plymouth, UK.	Posted on Feb 10 2016 05:29 AM I'd love a backup Musicman, but I'm guessing that Squinkistan is not in Europe? I'd hang on to that amp if I were you - the used market of them here has dried up, and people are starting to ask silly money. I got mine re-capped and it sounded so good I couldn't stop playing it for about 3 weeks! — http://thewaterboarders.bandcamp.com/ Top
JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Feb 10 2016 11:34 AM Da, Indeed, Squinkistan is a landlocked country. I saw it on a map once, maybe it was in a dream, where the region of Inland Seas in Central Asia was much expanded. Squinkistan lies there, somewhere East of Turkestan and West of China. Most maps don't show it. And yes, the price of all good old amps is subject to rise, and Music Man are only at the cusp of steep inflation. My only motivation for selling this excellent piece of vintage gear is that the cost of Brownface/clones has already escalated some time ago. So I am willing to sacrifice several good amps in excellent condition to purchase one that sounds the way I need it to, for now. Currently, I am loving the sound of new-to-me Gretsch 6159 "Bass Amp" I traded for my Gibson GA-20T Ranger. Twice the amp at 2x12" & 35W RMS. It may be able to go toe-to-toe with my bandmate's Brownface Banmaster clone. But it doesn't have that tremolo. — Squink Out! Top

Stormtiger Joined: Dec 12, 2006 Posts: 2688 Ventura, CA	Posted on Mar 02 2016 02:04 PM I'd hang onto that Gretsch, those must be pretty rare, maybe try a Catalinbred Valcoder tremolo. I'll bet it sounds as good as it looks. Top
JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Mar 02 2016 04:12 PM At this rate I will. It's a fine specimen really rocks my Mosrite. Not very good with Jaguar set up for surf though. I find that adjusting the tone controls with both channels bridged heightens the tremolo effect to something resembling Brownface harmonic tremolo. I used to do that with the little Gibson and before that with a huge Epiphone combo. Anyhow, I have been bitten by the Brownface bug and am willing to sacrifice even an amp as cool as this Gretsch. — Squink Out! Top
