Spoke with the guy today (nice guy BTW), picking it all up tomorrow, worked out well, he works in the next suburb to where I'm staying at my Mothers and is bringing it there for me to collect. Apparently the US MP1 works fine and he's got the step down tranny mounted in the rack, the 240v MP1 he says has some issues with changing patches (and why he bought the 110v MP1 as he was gigging with it). So hopefully I can fix it. They both will need MDRTs, what else
I'll know more tomorrow when I get them. I also get a custom 4 1/2 RU rack (this will become bass rig, MB1, Fx, B500B), and a Behringer 1010 pedal he used twice (not sure what to do with that ??)... so a good deal at $600 AUD. (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ADA-MP-1-Valve-Guitar-Pre-Amp-In-Case-with-New-Behringer-FC1010-Midi-Controller-/232145125414?hash=item360ced8026:g:1TkAAOSwx2dYHtoN). The 240v MP1 has a different volume knob (is all I can see from the photos),
Hey Harley, yes I'd like to get a Classic, but I also don't have a MP1 (until tomorrow
). While I really like MP2s (and now have 4
), I loved my MP1. It went to a great home and visits me often but it has a new master, who's been very good to it and it brings him lots of joy
. It seems the importer (a mate of mine) didn't bring in the classics to Australia
. IIRC it just went MP1 for quiet a while and then there were MP2s
. I bought them as soon as I could. I didn't know the classic existed until the Depot. (not to mention lots of other goodies like the Fx etc or I'd have some of them also). We are such a small market in Australia so we miss out on lots of stuff, though the interweb has helped a bit. Also back then I was a poor musician and couldn't afford to buy much gear.
A bit off topic, my 73 Marshall 50 has just got new caps (hum gone
). Chatted with my tech today he says it's sounding great (and he repairs a quite a few Marshalls). So there's the dry in my wet dry rig setup (this is the one I put 3 new boogie SPAX7s in). I'll pick it up next week when I get back home (my neighbors are going to hate me when I crank that up
LoL).
Hey MJMP, can you put a reserved sticker on 2 MDRTs for me please and I'll email you what else the MP1s need EPROMs etc once I sus them out. Maybe I'll 3TM one of them
.
