Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 27, 2008 Leadership Team Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm selling my Vox AD50-VT amp. Its a 50 watt modelling combo, image here. Two years old and hardly used - unfortunately it's mostly sat around gathering dust ☹️ I've just aquired a third Strat so I really ought to unload something! These typically retail now for £189 (see Sounds Alive here) so looking for £110. I could post it but it's pretty heavy (around 12kg) therefore I would need to charge postage (at cost), otherwise collection/meeting/GONADS would be easier! Stu.

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Always liked the look of Vox gear. Nice amp but sadly cannot justify it having just bought another amp (Fender Tweed Blues Deluxe) and some new pickups for my Strat (Bare Knuckle Apaches). Good luck with the sale.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Leadership Team Share Posted March 27, 2008 I thought I could justify it because it has all the bells and whistles that my old gigging amp is short of - bloody loud also This one's always kept in the house but at the same time never gets used! This amp's great for home use and small gigs but there's nothing wrong with my old workhorse which seems to do the job just fine anyway, even though over the years it had numerous mods/speakers etc, and gets kept in garage whatever the weather!

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Leadership Team Share Posted March 28, 2008 BTW, how different are the Bare Knuckle pups? Stu.

AndyPandy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Bare Knuckle Pickups- I've got them in every non-EMG'd guitar that I own. The best passive pickups I've ever played. My fav combination is a mule in the neck and a cold sweat in the bridge (of my PRS Custom 24) 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Totally different to the Lace sensors I had before. Lower output, much more "chime" and pos'n 2 and 4 have that wonderful Strat quack in spades. The Lace's sounded dull in comparison to the BKPs. Have needed to get a bit more gain for lead stuff so I've started using an overdrive pedal as well as the gain channel to get a bit more oomph. Tried various OD's including an original Ibanez 808 but actually settled on a digitech Bad Monkey - cheap as chips and I preferred it to the legendary 808! Interested to hear that their humbuckers are good to although I'm quite happy with the PRS Dragon IIs in my PRS CE22.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Leadership Team Share Posted March 28, 2008 Interesting about the lower output. I've just put together a "Partsocaster" based around a Fender Japanese '54 RI neck and body combined with a full set of Fender USA Eric Johnson pickups. The EJs are not high output but the tone really is spectacular - helped very much by the second tone pot controlling the bridge rather than middle pickup. The classic out-of-phase position can now be aided by dialling out some of the bridge pickup brightness - IMHO rewiring this way is the best mod that can be made to any traditional single coil equiped Strat. I'm now toying with selling my USA Fender Hot Rod (HSS) Strat also - the EJ equiped one is just so versatile! Stu.

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 As part of my upgraditis, I got rid of the TBX pot. It's now wired up with the EJ mod - agree that it's a very good tweek! VDU 7X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would have it like a shot, they are great little home use amps but I am in a place called Caterham which is in Surrey, you may have heard of it!

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Leadership Team Share Posted April 2, 2008 If you're still interested in a month or so, I'll be passing nearby. We'll be on our annual wine run at the end of May (despite the Euro ☹️) and there's planty of space in the van going south! Last year it was a convenient trip to deliver a set of wheels to K16TOY!
