    What are you buying to top the Sky King Jim ?

    Who knows - The trouble is I keep trying to outdo what I have,  which is a Silverface vibrolux and a collection of brilliant pedals,
    For the music I love and particularly at home there is nothing I have come across which tops that.
    I am sure I will keep looking - I am fortunate enough to indulge myself and make those comparisons. As long as I don't pay over the odds eventually quality gear will sell so it is not a problem.
    I must say the Sky King is an incredible piece of kit that ticks a lot of boxes.
    I had the Imperial and Metropolitan at various times - Both good amps but the SkyKing is definitely a step further and noticeably better than both.

    The never ending search for the holy grail. Sometimes I think we move gear on and then buy the same thing in a different style box / tolex. Tone King are top draw with an amazing attenuator. I think this will be gone by close of play. Good luck !

    I know you are right - It is a great amp but the quest for the Holy Grail continues although in my case I think it is great to have the opportunity to sample some brilliant kit along the way.

    I have the original box and packing so it can be shipped at buyers expense and risk.

    Jim, why not p/x at Coda for something nice :)

    I think Doug always gives cracking p/xs - maybe against a Swart ??

    Appreciate what your saying but would prefer straight cash sale & wait for a used one to turn up. More flexibility & less risk if/when my fickleness kicks in & the GAS strikes again!

    £1000 less than in one of the few stores that stock this beauty for an amp in perfect ungigged condition. This is a rare and special early Christmas present for someone surely?

    Just in case anyone does not know the detail of this amp:

    Here's what Tone King say about the Sky King Combo

    The 35W Sky King combo features a genuine built-in Ironman attenuator, and fully handwired circuitry – the first handwired Tone King amp in 20 years of amp building. The novel handwiring approach developed by designer Mark Bartel adds a whole new level of depth and dimension to Tone King’s authentic vintage tone recipe, and an incredibly responsive feel that makes Sky King an amp that really wants to be played. The built-in genuine Ironman attenuator gives you 6 levels of attenuation, and preserves the natural tone and feel of the amp all the way down to true bedroom volume (-36db). It includes separate attenuation controls for the rhythm and lead channels, so that the attenuation level will change automatically as you switch between rhythm and lead channels.

    A unique Output Mode switch doubles the tonal range by allowing you to operate Sky King’s 6L6GC output tubes in either Pentode mode or Ultralinear mode. This gives you the choice between the crisp, present, and dynamic sound of Pentode mode, or the oldschool sound of Ultralinear mode - thick, chunky mids, a sweetly burnished top end, and a nice natural compression (as on the Tone King Falcon). Sky King’s 1x12 combo cabinet is finely tuned to capture the woody resonance, open, organic sound, and elastic feel of a well worn vintage cab, but without the flabby bottom end. It is loaded with the new Celestion G12M-65 “creamback” speaker.

    Specification:

    • Tubes: 6L6GC (x2), 12AX7(x4), 12AT7, 5U4G
    • Output Power: 35W
    • Speakers: 1x12 Celestion G12M65 Creamback
    • Footswitch: Channel Switch and Tremolo
    • Reverb: Tube Driven Spring Reverb
    • Tremolo: Tube Driven
    • Attenuator: Ironman Attenuator Built In 
    • Colour:  Cream 
    • Weight: 48 Pounds
    • Size: 24" x 12" x 18"
