SOLD: Rift Amplification Blondie - 6G6-B Blonde Bassman 1x12" Combo, NOW READY

edited July 2018 in Amps £ tFB Trader
This amplifier was ordered as a custom build, but the customer has since changed his mind and ordered a different model. As it's such a cool idea and would make a great gigging amp, I've decided to keep it on the build schedule and offer it to someone else. Size-wise it'll be halfway between a PR and a DR, so quite compact and not overly cumbersome, it should weigh around the same as a DR. Mockup and pics below.

The specs:

  • Blonde Bassman 6G6-B circuit - 50w.
  • Solid welsh-pine cabinet with birch ply baffle and rear panels - 22" x 18.5" x 10"
  • Rough Blonde Tolex with Wheat grille cloth
  • WGS G12C/S 75w Ceramic speaker
  • 2 x 7025, 2 x ECC83, 2 x 6L6
  • Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps
  • Rift and Heyboer transformers
  • Switchcraft sockets
  • Eyelet board construction, handwired with yellow cloth wire

Price is £1600 inc VAT, padded soft cover, and Rift lifetime warranty.

    Am I right in thinking this would be ridiculously loud for home use?

    @pia98jf if you intend to crank it, then yes. But if you just need cleans, then why not?

    It has 7 volume controls

    on a more serious note that is a brilliant idea for a grab and go amp.

      Yeah I know, sorry.

    The issue is that should a courier damage the amplifier I can't get hold of another chassis to build a replacement, which would write the amplifier off.

    Fair enough, but I must admit to being a bit confused by that... Where did the chassis come from for it to be irreplaceable? And what kind of courier abuse would be required to bend an actual chassis out of shape?

    The chassis was the last of a manufacturing run done for a parts supplier in the States, they’ve now gone out of business and no one else stocks one in the correct dimensions.

    Shipping damage - a drop from even a small height onto a hard floor (say falling off a conveyor belt) is enough for the transformers to bend a chassis, no amount of bubble wrap and packing peanuts can stop that kind of damage.

    Good to know, thanks!  Knowing my luck, I'd probably drop it down a venue staircase or something, so probably best I let this one go...

  • This looks great, I always fancied re-housing my ‘61 6G6 in a 112 combo cab. Cool

    Nothing like a glass half - empty ???.........Honestly,if you think that negatively you will never have good luck ........you should say "knowing my luck ;I might win the Lottery in the next few months " Positive thoughts breed positive luck.
     So ends today's lesson Grasshopper.
