FS: Lazy J 20:SOLD

Blacksheep

Two fine amps which are not getting used because of my preference for el84s.

Bought Lazy J from @guitarpolo in Feb.

It has Tayden speaker, VAC, reverb and trem and NOS valves. Plus Roqsolid cover.

£1850

Looking for £1500.

I am on Kent/E Sussex border.

Not really looking for trades but would consider a top quality 15-25watter Marshally combo.

PS

I have cheekily "borrowed" Guitarpolos pix of Lazy J. Hope that's OK. And if pix don't show, bear with me. I am notoriously twatish with Photobucket.

Are you looking for an outright sale or would you be open to gear with cash added?

Blacksheep

Ideally I'm looking for a sale. But if you've got something low wattage and Marshally I might well be interested. Not really looking for much else, I'm afraid.

MattG

sorry but ive got to ask what if any are the differences tonally?

dallcorp

What speaker is in the Swart?
Thanks
(and have a wow for 2 fine amps!)

Blacksheep

The two amps are quite different tonally, mainly because the Swart is not really a tweed at all. It has a much tighter bass and in general reminds me more of a blackface Fender. It has a stock Mojotone BV25 speaker. I actually prefer it to the Lazy J. But possibly because I've realised the tweed tone really isn't my thing. All PMs replied to.

I've just bought a Princeton Reverb and a Cornell Plexi 7.... I can't buy 3 amps in a fortnight....No. I'm not doing it. It's outrageous.

If you can't buy 3 amps in a fortnight... buy 4.

He has got two amps for sale!

10% discount if you buy both

I am tempted by the Lazy J.... I've been playing with the Cornell this evening & lovely as it is, I'm wondering if I'm going to use it. The thing is I'm thinking about another guitar as well. ... So it boils down to the Lazy J or a guitar. What to do?

@strummybrummie ; sorry to be a bad influence, but the lazy j could possible be the last amp you'll ever buy, so i'd go with that... also, to miss out the long waiting list is a plus too

billzabozo

Out of interest blacksheep what is your amp of choice if u don't mind me asking since you prefer el84s. I'm tempted by the lazy j, played the j 40 & loved it but was too much for me at the time. Clearly you've got some great amps so just curious what you weapon of choice is over those two?

Blacksheep

Dr Z Maz 18 with 2x10. The amp I always go back to. But like many forumites I am tormented by the fear there might be something better out there. Pathetic, as my wife constantly tells me.

StrummyBrummie

@smogfalls I just wish he was a bit closer so I could nip round & check it out.

horsehead

@StrummyBrummie swap your princeton for my La Cabronita Tele, leaving you able to get the Lazy J?

You could try mentioning it's same as women buying a new lipstick that's a subtly different shade of pink or getting the latest mascara that's an even blacker black.

@horsehead Not for me mate. Sorry.

@Blacksheep ....LA Cab and my soul...it's worth a lot, honest!

Is it 60s soul? With Steve Cropper on guitar?
