Mr Marlin gear sale thread. Now with pedals and pickups and fancy Gibsons!

I’ve also got an MJW Bassman I need to list as well.

Supro Bighorn back up. 

Gretsch G3155 withdrawn.  Too damn good a guitar to give it away.

I played that hideous looking mismatch of a Gretsch today and frankly, we’re all idiots for not buying it when we had the chance. Genuinely one of the best playing and sounding guitars I’ve held in a long time. I’m still slightly traumatised by how much I liked it. 

And I definitely owe an apology to TheMarlin for having to re list the Bighorn because I swindled him out of a Supro instead

And i swindled you out of a lovely hollow body Supro too, so we’re all square in the swindling department. 

@dazzajl and I had a Goldtop P90 face off today.   His Maybach Goldtop Goodrush LP with P90’s and Bigsby vs my Gibson Goldtop LP R6 Murphy’s lab with P90’s and Bigsby. 

My LP has more of a bile green colour, and a fatter neck, and probably better feeling neck with the thinner distressed nitro, you can feel the wood grain through it.   Other than that though, there was sod all in it. Maybe a tiny bit of difference in the pickups, but nothing you couldn’t dial in with
amp knob tweaking. 

Those Maybachs are frikin awesome. It’s hard to see where the vast difference in price is justified, as cost it’s not that evident in the feel or the tone. 

My LP is absolutely ace, I adore it. But so is his brilliant Maybach, but at a fraction of yen price of my fancy pants LP. 

You’d hand to prize my LP out of my cold dead hands though. It’s not going anywhere

Sold. .  

MJW Roadstar 18 

Specs are: 
18-watt 2 x el84 power section 
2 x 12ax7 preamp 
Full TMB tonestack 
Preamp gain and master volumes 
Power/wattage control, with extra control on back panel to reduce fizz at really high attenuation levels 
Built into a solid old Marshall 5010 chassis, one of the UK-made amps - looks a bit different! Not a 'showroom amp' by any means! 
comes with Fender amp cover. 

It does great cleans, but it's really more of a crunchy rock amp, great upper-mids and eager to overdrive.

I’ll be brutally honest.  I bought this, plugged if it, thought ‘wow, that’s a cracker’.  Then put it in the garage. I’ve had builder in the house non stop since I bought it.  All the livingroom
ans Conservatory furniture was liked in the garage as work commenced, and it was buried. Safe, but inaccessible. 

Builders have gone, so finally got it out. It’s still
sounds fantastic, but I’ve got five valve amps, and very little talent left. With me, it’s doomed to a dusty life.   

£350 (NOW SOLD).  I’m heading up north or Sunday, so possible drop off or motorway meet up is an option. 
SOLD

The Gretsch G3155 (now sold)
Airline Bighorn
Orange Tremlord
and possibly WezV guitar are available. 

Prefer not to sell the WezV. It’s awesome, but I need to sell one of these to pay a roofer. 

All guitars have had a pro setup with a fresh set of Daddario 11’s. 

That P90 is also available.

Ugggghhhh. That damn 3155 still haunts me! It sports every single thing I don’t like on a Gretsch and yet it’s absolutely amazing. If I wasn’t a poor little church mouse this month I’d fall to the temptation

GLTWS @TheMarlin ;
As someone experiencing the anxiety inducing cost and dread of having to refit a bathroom #Leak I thinkI share some of your pain here.
I'm sacrificing a guitar at the alter of home renovations and boy, does responsible adulting SUCK.



Do try and hang onto the WezV though. It's an absolute GEM!

I spent a good bit on the WezV, so now the action is low and it plays silky smooth. It’s got a fabulous sharp cutting tone, it really is a cracker. 

I don’t want to sell any of this, but I’ve been cleaned out by builders this month, and now the roof leak is stabbing my weakened wallet. 

Something has to go. 

Ho hum……

Very tempted to pop my deluxe reverb back up for another pop at the tremlord.

The Tremlord is a superb amp, very Fendery,, and plenty of power scaling options.

Is there an MJW bassman still going - was this the Roadstar or did I miss something else?
Not that I need another amp, but...you know...just asking

That's good to hear - someone has gained a cracking amp.
