I sold my SRRI nearly two years ago now. Got £600 for it. I sold it because I was having to downsize and down cost all the gear that I owned. I sold three amps and bought one new channel switcher. I had owned this amp for six years by that point and had played the majority of my gigs with it. I remember driving from Glasgow to Manchester and back in the morning and getting a call for a gig that night in the afternoon and gigging it there and then.
Don't get me wrong, it could be a pig. It could lack headroom in a very loud band, it had one stupid tiny handle on top even though it's a 4x10 combo etc.
But I still remember the smell of the vales warming up, the feel of the knobs as they turned and what it sounded like when you smashed it with a tube screamer.
I dug out the old PayPal transaction email and sent away a hopeful little message to the buyer asking how everything was with the amp and if he still had it and if he ever thought about moving I on. I felt like I was getting I touch with a long lost love. I never got a reply.
Anyway, should I buy a new one, or will it just not be the same?
