Norman Bass Amps

Has anyone got any info on there? I've never heard of them but i've been offered one for cheap, it's from the 70's, it's solid state and it sounds WELL DIRTY.
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience using them, any tips on reliability etc?

If its cheap enough, what do you have to loose?

No, never heard of it.

Well,in 1066 the Normans conquered Britain. It would be interesting to see what they've come up with since! See!!! I knew my classical engineering education would come in useful one day!

Once more unto the breach dear friends or close the wall with our English dead. In peace nothing so befits a man as modest stillness and humility....Etc.

Hey, I/m impressed , if not a little tipsy!

hahahahaha, 10 out of 10 for giggles! yeah i guess you're right about the cheapness, it's just so weird, i've never come across an amp that has absolutely nothing about it on the internet, except a thread on one message board that doesn't help at all!

here's a link to one that was on ebay -

what makes you think it's home made?

...Well the knobs look like they've been taken off an old Radio ,faceboard run of the mill Maplins ,laquer on the casing,red jacks Letraset graphics ?. I used to know someone who build stuff like this in his garage ,he was'nt called Norman tho .Usually when rare items turn up somebody somewhere 's heard of them ,but there's no response here . Just offering an opinion .
