Topic: Denmark Street find..

Hello Everybody,
         Enjoying the new forum layout.. Came as a surprise to me as well.. Went shopping today on London's famous Denmark street. I found a Musicman HD-150 reverb for 400 quid... Sorry my english girlfriend has gotten me into english slang..  Its fantastic and supremely undervalued.. Look for these amps ... Mines a head.. but the combos rock too..

Re: Denmark Street find..

Yeah Joe, the new forum surprised me too. I thought there was a problem with my PC and logged off again smile. Anyway, cool to know you're in town. I used to stand with my nose pressed to the windows of the stores in Denmark Street drooling over the guitars when I was a kid. So, you going to gig the Musicman or was it one of those GAS moments?  wink

Slowhand rocked out on these back in the late 70's.  You can see him playing it on the Last Waltz.  He ran around with the combo regularly I do believe.  Cherio and all that rubish.

Re: Denmark Street find..

Wow, nice find!  That amp brings back memories.  I had a Music Man RP112 combo (with reverb and built-in phaser) back when I was a kid...saved up what seemed like forever to buy it.  I remember how pumped up I was when I brought it home.  Of course it was way too much amp for a teenagers bedroom but what did I know at the time!  Regrettably, I sold it years later for either food or rent most likely.  More recently, I saw Johnny Winter playing through a Music Man and he sounded great...and LOUD!  Good luck and enjoy the new amp.

I'll get it tomorrow Eva, I know I'm slacking. We are in the middle of a small blizzard here in London.

Re: Denmark Street find..

W & J What you doing venturing out in that Blizzard  big_smile , Hope you grabbed a hot coffee inside , That's a Nice pic of snowy Albert Hall , and the other photo was that across the road in Hyde Park ( very artistic ) , That Denmark Street is a Guitarists Dream , There's just so much there New & Old , It's like One Giant Guitar Shop with 20 to 30 interconnecting rooms , to mere amateurs like me it's just wall to wall to wall guitars , But to the Afficianados it is The Ultimate Guitar Candy Store , And if you're in London (You Just Gotta Visit) ...
There are Literally Thousands of Guitars  cool

Re: Denmark Street find..

Joe did you really need to take New York weather with you to London????

Hey Joe. Question: If you could only pick two amps to play for the remainder of your career, what two would you choose and why?
