When it comes to cars and designer suits, we all know that the Italians know how to do things properly, if a little extravagantly. So when in the late 50s, they decided to make a unique electronic echo effects unit, you know they'd be taking leaves from the books of certain Messrs Ferrari and Armani, and making something so bloody expensive you'd instantly be compelled to believe it to be the best in the world. The same still stands today. The Binson Echorec cost more than an AC-30 when it first came out, and now it costs more than your kitchen, but you've only got to have a look, and then have a listen to see why; quality sound, quietness, and stability oozes, such as few other echo units of the fifties, sixties, or even today can offer. Dripping with money, the Pink Floyd lot decided to use it on 'Dark Side' for a five minute long example of something echoing, and many artists are still using them today. Binsons were unique in their construction, utilising a specially designed steel/alloy disc or drum, which carried a durable flat metal 'tape', so there is innovation and durability along with that Je ne said quoi... oh wait, that's French... erm anyone speak Italian? So, this is a rare opportunity to own something a bit special. Feel free to sprint from your meeting to get your hands on it.
SOLD!!! I don't need to say anything do I? This is, in fairness, not the cleanest example of an early sixties vintage amplifier, but it is all original, original speaker in particular a joy to behold glimmering like a sapphire in the back of that tweed cabinet. This amp is from a collection of similar pieces seen elsewhere on this website, which were formerly used on tours and in the studio by the country greats The Flying Burrito Brothers. Talk about a Gilded Palace of Sin, step in to Wunjo guitars just at the moment and you could find yourself doing something extremely naughty with that piece of plastic you keep hidden at the back of your wallet!
If ever there was a monster bass amp, then this is it. As you can imagine, this enormous hunk of British bass beef pumps out some serious tone at some serious volume, inspite of the signature Orange covering which you can take slightly less seriously. Such a beautifully simple amp with just volume and EQ to play with, you know it's going to get the best out your playing, and that you're going to easily get the best out of it. Of course, you might need to hire a roadie with a van to go with it, which unfortunately we cannot provide in the deal. Could be a one-off so hurry if it's what you're after.
None of this modern re-issue business going on here, this ladies and gentlemen, is a genuine 1968 Vox AC-30 in all it's clean and almost original glory. It's not a red playe JMI, but it is, as you will see from the c3ose up of the control panel, 'a JMI product'. Sadly, the original speakers have not survived the journey, and in their place are a set of more modern celestion speakers, but otherwise, this is a true period piece, and will make you sound and look the part if you want to show off your musical Britishness to an American, or other nationality.
Fresh off the production line and shipped in all the way from the land of Uncle Sam, this 50watt Supro amp gives more than a nod to the classic amps from the company's illustrious history, while featuring some great original features and high end tube amp quality. It contains three 10 inch Alnico speakers driven by 2 Sovtek 5881/6L6s and an 12AX7/12AT7 combination. Footswitchable between two channels, it also features a lovely tremolo circuit as well as reverb. Made in the USA so not cheap, but very very good.

Price: £1295
Not just an example of how Wunjo can get anything the Fender Co. have to offer from guitars to amps, but also a (literally) shining example of the current breed of high end re-issue tube amps in the range. This '57 twin-tube re-issue is point-to-point wired to produce 40 watts of pure cream through two 12inch speakers. Like a trip to Disney Land, you'll probably be too excited to sleep over it.
SOLD!!! PHONE FOR MORE INFO!!! We have here not just a shop exclusive, not just a Denmark Street exclusive, not even just a London exclusive (we've had all those already). This is a UK exclusive! The Egnater Rebel 20 with its two 1x12 cabs is causing a bit of a stir around the world with its tube mix and variable wattage circuitry - as well as its, like, totally, like, kickass tones - and we have in the only full stack in the United Kingdom! You can check out all the nice things they say about the amp on www.egnateramps.com, or, if you're the sensible type, you'll come down to the shop and give this thing a test run. When its gone, I don't know when we'll be getting another one!! Prices are £549 for the head alone, and £259 each for the cabs. £1049 for the lot. Manual and cover included.
Another beautiful point-to-point wired tweed covered re-issue which forms a part of Fender's vintage re-issue range, the '57 Deluxe is 12 watts of pure vintage valve heaven. Wired to faithfully reproduce the tone of those 50's amps, and weighted so as not to break to backs of such gentleman who were around at the time of the originals, this amp is a delight, especially when hooked up with a nice Strat or a Tele. Equipped with a Jensen speaker, this is second hand, but we can get you a new one direct from Fender anytime you like. Meanwhile, enjoy the great price!
A big bad bruiser of an amp, this 50 watt tube combo will save your dentist a bit of work if you have any fillings that need removing. One 12 inch speaker screams out some fearsome tone in the best tradition of the HiWatt name, a viable, if a smidgin pricey alternative to Marshall or Orange. As we're not HiWatt dealers, this second hand amp is just a one off, so hurry if it's what you're after.
Now, before I begin, I just have to make it clear that it was Gibson who copied Fender making this little valve amp, not the other way round. I can't have people thinking them big nasty Gibson people invented everything. Now that record is set straight, al that remains to be said is that this amp may be a copy of the Fender Champ formula, but it's a very good copy, and therefore is also a very valuable and desirable piece, the sort of copy you actually want to have. A little bit of damage to the front logo, otherwise this piece is original and everywhere it should be.
