    I have a decent box that someone can have if they need to post their guitar. It was bought from sellusyourguitar.co.uk but never used. Free to collect from East Hertfordshire or cover postage and I’ll send it to you.

    Is the box for a Rick Neilsen guitar ?  =)

    two wall hangers, used for a short while before I went over to using floor stands. 
    They are not the best quality ones you can get of this type but they worked fine for me, will supply some screws and rawl plugs.

    @lovestrat74 - yes, I can pack and send tomorrow. Just PM me your address.

    @kelpbeds - b*gg*r - in the weirdest bit of timing, it sold on Ebay (I'd put it there when no-one seemed interested here). Really sorry about that. I'll see if I've got something similar that I can send.

    @lovestrat74  ; If that speaker is an 8 ohm one I would love to have it.  I just turned a combo housing into a speaker cabinet and was going to look for a suitable speaker for it.  This would work perfectly, but it would need to be an 8 ohm one.

    I'm sure it is Bill. I'll check and let you know. It came out of a Fender super champ 1x12 cab

    Citronix DJ CD and USB/MP3 player = loop / pitch / etc GONE

    This is an odd one: a 2U rackmount CD player that also reads MP3s on USB and lets you change the pitch of the audio. It also has a loop feature and other cue/etc stuff that I never used.

    Outdated now if you're doing stuff on your computer, but it's been useful when I wanted a simple way to play along with CDs where the guitarist didn't tune up properly - or where the producer had sped up the track after mixing to make it more 'exciting'. Instead of retuning my guitar, I 'retuned' the CD/MP3 playback using the fader on the right-hand side.

    Some rack rash, but not bad. Remote control is long gone, but not needed. Manual is online here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/739893/Citronic-Cdusb-1.html

    https://imgur.com/gallery/toKsxIT

    set of black tuners from and ESP Ltd acoustic , all nuts washers and screws present and correct, still have the hang tag On it because I had some locking tuners that went straight onto the acoustic.  I may have two sets of these but can’t find the other currently

    The two short white end ones are misc don’t know what they are from, suspect classic vibe strats but can’t be sure 

    black end is a prs pop in trem

    I've found my first gigging amp in the attic.

    Plugged it in and it works!

    Pots and Jacks cleaned

    I forgot how good the clean is on it.  A real glassy bouncy fender tone with plenty of bottom end.

    The gain channels are ok, but it likely won't tempt you from your Two Rock.

    100w hybrid (but its solid state really!).

    Nice FX loop, footswitch is in full working order with cable.

    Some of the things to point out:

    I recovered it very badly and there's still some sticky glue all over it.  It'll probably come off with some elbow grease and alcohol.

    There's a hole in the back where i had a socket to use it as an extenstion cab.

    Some parts have had a little gold spray paint over them.

    The speaker terminal connector riveted back in place, now completely solid.

    York based but I'd drive out a little way to meet you if you wanted it.









    And this is what it looked like before.

    I am sorry.

    It all works as it should - but (as you might have noticed) it's a bit grubby.

    In my defence, it came to me like that, and it was also non-working. 

    The inputs on the LHS are on a separate board to the main amp, and the connection between the two had been broken.  A replacement ribbon cable and some crude soldering later, and it now works (at least, the guitar input does, I've not bothered trying the line-in socket).

    Fine if you want an workshop amp, or something to leave out in a man shed for occasional noodling.

    Free to a good (bad, or ugly) home for the cost of shipping it (say £10).

    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.
