Ok ive been trawling the interweb for weeks and despite numerous shops showing stock none of them actually have any - I dont think there are actually any for sale in the UK in a shop at the moment.

Ideally Im looking for a 5:50 express medium head but will consider a 5:25 dependent on price.

What have you got guys...??

My local; they have a few Expresses in; they have a Medium head I think.

Give them a call, ask for Phil, tell them Milo sent you

He'll sort you out a nice price.

Good choice, the 5:25 i had was frickin amazing, wish i hadnt had to sell it!

bigdawg · 01-08-2009, 11:29 AM

yeah, Ive been looking at others marshall (vintage modern), oranges etc.., but still keep coming back to these...

The 5:25 you had would you call it a very 'british' sound Ive only had a chance to play on a 5:50 so far...??

Herbie thanks for that, Id kiss you if you werent on the other side of a computer!

IMO, you should just go straight for the 5:50, it's heaps better. More expensive? Yes, but not much more.

If you can make the journey to York and actually go into MOR Music, Phil accepts trade ins too.

Spoke to them its a long head, but should just fit on my cab, and at the price theyll do it for I may just get them to ship it down here (im in essex!)

The long head will fit onto "proper" cabs.

Unless you've got something like a Marshall MG cab you'll be OK.

I assure you that the head will reach you in the best of conditions

Plus, if you buy it, I might get a chocolate bar off them when I go in on Saturday! LOL

If in doubt about size, it's 26 and a1/4 inches wide.

bigdawg · 01-08-2009, 12:17 PM

yeah, ive got a matamp 2x12 which only measure 24'' across!!

Could always rest the cab on the head

HerbieTheRadDorklift · 01-08-2009, 12:26 PM

Hmm.

Personally I wouldn't care, the 5:50 is a fantasic amp, but obviously with your cab, aesthetically it's strange.

What did they tell you on the phone? Price etc?

bigdawg · 01-08-2009, 12:29 PM
