Done.

If anyone wants to hear what these are like, I just came across this video. https://youtu.be/PyM8IgQhHKo

Welcome!

Welcome Vince.

The Laney looks to have gone up in price recently. My local shop was doing them for around £379 a while ago, but are now up to £439. It does look really nice in the flesh and sounds great (to me). When I was trying my guitar I played through one and loved the sound of it. As I said, the Harley Benton is supposedly a copy of the Laney, so could be worth a punt if you do want a cheap tube amp. It gets decent reviews.

The HB TUBE 15 Celestion has built in spring reverb, as does the Laney Cub Super 12(which I believe the HB is based)

Really looking forward to this.

Welcome!

That's great looking.

I went into my local guitar shop, today and they had one of these on the wall! I didn't try it, but next time I'm in, I might have a go. I'll ask the staff what they think of it.

I did wonder, with it being a first post. Hopefully, it's not a bot and will contribute, but I'm doubtful. I didn't even click on the attachments and just googled the guitar instead.

I can't say I've heard of them. Looks interesting, but how does it sound? It's a bit out of my price range.

Welcome to the forum Lewis. Do think there will ever be a day when a boy can beat a shark in a swimming race? You did say to let you know if we had any questions!

Score! That should be plenty loud for playing in the house. I have a 20W ss amp and it never approaches halfway on the volume knob.

I'll not be much use at advising on a particular amp, as I don't have very much experience with them, but what sort of budget do you have in mind?

I'm afraid I can't help, but I did notice that Tube Screamers of that vintage sell for quite a lot of money.

I'm just a bedroom player, so I'll just have to wear shades.

I am sorely tempted to get one of these Adam Black OM-RB Acoustic Guitar Rainbow | Reverb UK , just for the fun of it. I think they look great. It's not going to be the greatest guitar in the world, but my daughter has their O2-T travel guitar and it's not a bad wee instrument. My only niggle with it is that the nut is set slightly off centre. It's maybe half a millimetre to the treble side, but it still sounds ok.

I'm away from base for a few days and brought my guitar with my, but when I arrived I realised that I'd forgotten my amp. Now, I'm not too far away an it would only be a 40 minute round trip to go and get it, but I have access to an acoustic guitar while I'm here, so I'm not bothered. However, I happened to be scrolling through Facebook yesterday and came across this being advertised NAMM 2023: Positive Grid unveils the Spark Go, a 5-watt modeling amp that fits in your pocket | Guitar World. I decided to take a punt on it, as it's something I can slip into my guitar bag if I am on the move. It doesn't ship until late May, but I'll leave a review after I receive it. It can be used as a Bluetooth speaker too. At the minute it's on an early bird offer for £89 + VAT (£105 in total). After that it will be £129 +VAT.

I wonder if @Frank Blank would be interested in buying it...

Welcome Mark

Will you make a gingham scratchplate? Please? Someone has to!!

Welcome to the forum @BadSituation

I'm another one in the "it doesn't really matter" camp. I doubt if I could tell the difference between the most expensive wood and plywood, other than the weight.
