new 1/2 stack day, cat hair included

[BackCrack]

It popped up on the local CL last weekend. Head and cab are from '91, made in Hollyweird. Picked up head and cab for $1k less than what I paid for my last Seattle-made head alone. Seller did not know what he had. It does have a slightly different tone than my other one, I think. It's been around the block, but I don't care what it looks like. It sounds fab. Original UK-V30's have had 33 years of break-in and sound perfect.

If it doesn’t smell like smoke then it’s bogus. All the best shit has cat hair and smoke smell

Fuckin A the last amp I bought smells like gym socks. I cleaned it and tried to smudge it which helped, but damn. Did he store it in a locker room FFS?! Good deal and I like it so oh well.

Smoke soaked gear is the best kind. I made a thread on that a few weeks ago.

That's just gross. Stick it on the back porch in the sun for a couple days though I guess at this point in the year in your part of the country that won't work so well.

Yeah, left it out for an afternoon, will try longer in the spring. Might try ozone.

I'm trying to eat lunch here. I thought we were friends?

It's totally gross. It's better than when I got it but gets worse when it heats up

Nice score! I use this stuff.

No smoke smell. Just feline foliage on the grill.

I have known a couple people who pretty much had the gym socks-dog stank homes and of course their gear smelled the same. I am just not good at living like a complete slob.

Black and milds will fix that lack of smoking tone.

The last 412 cab I bought smells like it has been marinated in Pall Malls for the last 20 yrs. Of course I sprayed some colonge on it to give it that dirty ol gigolo essence. Primo.

put a scented candle inside the cab for awhile

Man that thing must sound absolutely killer with that many cigarettes soaked into there. NICE.

Super nice score !! Are you sure those are not the stock X12000 Soldano speakers ? Have you taken one out to check ?

 

[BackCrack]

You got me thinking. When I get home tonight I'll pop off the grill, unscrew the bolts, and see what's what.

 

[SFW]

Nice score!

 

[JackBootedThug]

Sweet.

Popped off a side handle, shoved the phone inside, and clicked a few pics....older V30's confirmed.
