Last year there was one of those Guild Thunderbass amps for sale not too far from me. Unfortunately it went faster than I could move to grab it.

Kind of weeny compared to some of the hardware in this thread, but I had this up until a couple years ago: A "Univox" 65B.
IMG_1555.png

50 watts (claimed) solid state, single 12" speaker (or 15"? can't remember; the internet says 12" but it seemed larger to me) in a sealed cab. Not sure of the date, I'm assuming mid 70s. Separate head and cabinet but sold as a combo. Eventually got rid of it after realizing that I was hanging onto it because it was old rather than because I enjoyed using it. Replaced it with a Fender Bronco 40 practice amp that's about 1/3 the size and plays both louder and cleaner.

The paper "UNIVOX" logo on the front covers what is probably a "STAGE" logo on the plate. Same company (Unicord) either way. I sometimes wonder whether somebody did this in the warehouse on the assumption that matching logos would help it sell. It's a clean two-color print and carefully applied; somebody didn't photocopy the logo at Kinko's and color it in by hand.

Thanks to all that posted. Takes me back to a point in time when musicians being in good physical condition was as much of a requirement as musical mastery. Maybe, being outside and active was better for us physically than staying inside working on our technique.

Especially if it's computer keyboard technique. ;)
