joseph Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hello there,I'm selling a vintage (original 70's model, not one of the horrible reissues) Carlsobro 50 Top tube head. It's in really good condition and was serviced a few months ago (then not played). I tested the head again this afternoon and it still sounds ace.Tone wise; Nice & crunchy when pushed a little and really crisp/clear when played clean.It's quite a basic amp channel wise (1 channel, t/m/b/v), but it's pretty much one of the most saught after british tube heads ever built. Basically, it's totally awesome. I'm only selling it as i need to replace 2 broken (and pretty expensive) pedals but have no money.Here's a bunch of people saying how brilliant it is;http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/product/Carlsbro/50+Top+Head/10/1I'll post some pictures if anyone is interested, but for now have a look at this to get an idea of how the 50 Top looks (pretty cool).Price wise, i'll let it go for 250 - they go for loads more when they actually turn up on ebay (around 400) but i need the cash urgently! Also, i live in stonehaven, so i can drive out and meet whoever is interested in playing through it/buying it.Thanks for reading!joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 hot potato!what kind of condition is the thing inside? has it been serviced recently?could be into this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hey maxi!Yeah it's in pretty good nic! I had to replace the tubes and get it serviced pretty soon after i bought it (i think it had been sitting in a loft for like 30 years). The volume pot was a little crackley when i first put it on, but i gave it a good twisty and it sorted itself out. I might actually spray some switch cleaner in there out of pure kindness.So yeah, it was serviced like 3/4 months ago but hasn't been played much at all.hope you're good dewd!joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 also, i should say - the picture i posted isn't MY 50 top, it's somebody elses. i'll take pictures of mine later tonight - it pretty much looks exactly the same anyway.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
