I guess the master volume was the attraction and I thought it sounded pretty good at the time, anything would after that Fal, although I did sometimes pick up mini cab radio announcements on it!
Cost me £105 from a shop in West London, can't remember where exactly.
That pic was like a trip down memory lane.

Went through a number of no-name combos before ending up with a 50W Marshall combo which in my head was pretty good but was probably crap. Wasn't cheap either as I recall.
Also managed with one, yes just the one, guitar despite the occasional gig. A CSL Les Paul copy followed by a Shergold Masquerader. (I think that, despite not gigging, I currently own five or six guitars!)
Oh, and of course the obligatory ColorSound Fuzz and Wah pedals (connected by a ten-foot cable - I don't remember patch leads being available).
I actually got given one of those Stingrays as backline at a show over summer and was amazed at how bad it was; the first time I've been incapable of getting a passable sound out of a bass amp in years! Had all these awful push buttons that each made a uniquely horrific sound, so I just pushed them all in at once and pretended I was Lemmy.

No it was SS, I can't remember what model it was now but at the time I checked on Ebay and they were selling for around £20 each. I put it back on Freecycle and someone took it and I assume fixed it.
A1 in M/cr,it had casters and needed them too...….
On the plus-side, having no fancy built-in effects made me explore how to expand my sonic palette via pedals and a rather lovely old WEM Copicat.
Also because it sounded so shit, I soon began to explore other amplification options
I have, I must say, absolutely no nostalgia for this lump of chipboard shite. Boxy, boomy, large and ugly, although I suspect there might have been a decent speaker in there.
