Was perusing my local Craigslist. Was looking for a used Splawn Street rod combo but came upon a Quickrod Half Stack for $1500.00!!! Couldn't pass it up. Picked it up and tested. Missed the bigness of the 100 watts..... I love the tone of my Competition but it can hit the wall when I use it with my Thrash cover band. Anyway....there it is...

Nice score. You can never have too many Splawns. Does it have the loop volume pot ?
 
Wow nice score! I've always wanted to try a Splawn amp but they never come up for sale in Australia. Congrats. ?
 
Back in 2003 I had Scott build be the first Quickrod in a JCM800 headbox in white tolex because I had always wanted a 1982 Anniversary white JCM800. :2thumbsup:

I fully agree.......... 100's always feel bigger and hit harder, even with two tubes pulled!

I sold it in 2004 after my band broke up but I still had my 79 Marshall that Scott had also modded for me.

Nice score!
 
Nice. I live a few minutes away from Splawn and haven't had anything of his in awhile. Keep thinking about getting one but too many other cool hot rodded Marshall's have got in the way.
 
Congrats :cheers:

That's a great deal :yes:

Do you know the speakers?

Yes, the guy I bought it from put a mix of V30's and G12T-75's in an X pattern.

I'll try it like this for a bit, but I have a feeling I'll replace them with Scumbacks

Congrats.... I still think the Suhr PT15 is one of the best thought out and nice sounding amps Ive had the pleasure to own... I think you agree. If they release a PT50 that retains all what the 15 has with just more of it and headroom, I could be tempted to give it a go. I LOVE my SLO30... but that amp would intrigue me for sure. Cheers

For sure! I love my PT15IR, but sometimes wish it had more headroom....

A PT50IR 1x12 combo would be my huckleberry....
 
For Whom The Bell Tolls, Where Eagles Dare, Attack Of the Mad Axeman , Center Of Eternity , Mean Street, cool soloing , Suicide Solution , cool soloing . Sounds great
 
Sounds sick man. Beautiful amp too, I love the matching look and the kind of "standard" white tolex and black front panel. I'll admit I had one with the hot rod flames on it and as much as I loved the sound I got rid of it fast just for the looks (and spoiled me had another one almost exactly like it but plain white so it wasn't a big loss).

2010 - that's one of the "darker" years that seem to polarize people a lot. Sounds absolutely killer in your video to me, I'd be interested to know if you get bored/fatigued/tired of it after you've had it for a bit. I have an '08 and still love the crap out of it but there are definitely days where my ears feel funny if I play it for a long time because the amp doesn't feel "open" enough to me, if that makes sense.
