Bluesking Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Up for grabs is a 2001 Carr Hammerhead 1X12 Combo, early production - 4/27/2001 serial #011. Excellent plus condition w/ no cuts, tears, or rips. The color appears slightly red-orange in the photos, but is definitely red in person. This is one of the ultimate EL34-based amps out there. 28 watts, all PTP/hand wired, with revolutionary tone controls that go beyond the normal TMB tone stack. If old school EL34 rock/blues tone is your thing, this will certainly blow your skirt up all night long. You can check out the Carr website for info on the clever controls: Carr Website Carr has released a Mk II Hammerhead with a little different control setup and a little more headroom, but it's basically voiced the same as this one. The cool part is - the Mk II is $1800 (street price). Saving a $1000 is good. Here's some pics: And a link to reviews: Carr HC Review I bought this recently on Ebay, but in the continued spirit of my gear sell off, it's up for grabs. This is seriously one of the best El34 amps I've heard, and I actually prefer this little combo to some of the better Marshall 1/2 stacks I've owned (mostly JMP 50s and early JCM 800s). Don't be fooled by the 28 watts, this thing will get up and rock - you can easily gig with this amp (even with a heavy handed drummer). Hook it up to an extension cab and stand back. Price is $825 shipped, which reflect exactly what I have invested in the amp. Payment by USPS MO or Paypal (you pay the fees) with shipping by DHL Ground (insured).
Guest pirateflynn Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I remember Greg Germino gave this amp a really good review...... and that's saying something!$825 shipped is a no-brainer.
hardheartedbill Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 oh man, that thing is calling my name, must resist!
Bluesking Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Resistance is futile!You can't beat this one folks - killer tone, portable package, highest quality, and a grand cheaper than new. Plus, you'll make your buddies who lug around a 1/2 stack to gigs insanely jealous of the fact that your amp fits in the floorboard of your car!Bill, wouldn't this smokin amp look good in your backline?C'mon folks, gotta send the wife to the Caribbean..............
matchful Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 She is a beauty. Somebody buy this, before I do. I have a serious problem

Brooks Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 wow, great deal! i had a carr rambler for a few years. they're based in pittsboro NC about an hour away. i took my amp in for an overhaul, and snapped these pics of the carr factory:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v63/brooks/carr/
Bluesking Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Lots of nibbles here and the Gear Page, but nobody has ponied up cash yet.I'd love to see a HFCer get this one.............
hardheartedbill Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 whats the weight? whats the speaker?
Bluesking Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 The Speaker is the original Kingpin 60.I'd estimate the weight at roughly 35 lbs, but that's only a guess. It's pretty comparable to other 1x12 combos I've had, although not crazy heavy like Mesas.
Bluesking Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 Weekend bump - somebody grab it before it's gone!

Dude. We definitley have to party together. I owned a Rambler once. Motor Trend's "Car Of The Year" in 1963.
