Gibson LP, Gibson SG and a Rivera Power Amp

[jonnyguitar]

I have a Gibson SG Special (gloss black, lots of play wear), comes in a case - this is a fairly recent acquisition but I could do with a Strat for some of the songs I play in my covers band. I was communicating with someone off here but I've not heard anything for a while now - so specifically looking for Fender Strat trade offers on this (H1 or Am series).



Next up is an LP Special - not to be confused with a faded, this is gloss nitro finished, has a pair of stacked humbuckers (P100s), bound fingerboard, ABR-1 bridge, Grover Mini-Rotomatics and also comes in a case. £700 or near offer? No trades on this I'm afraid. Edit - trade - I would consider trading this and the SG Special above for a burst LP Standard of some kind.



Finally my mate's Rivera TBR-5 "Hammer 320" 320w stereo power amp. I don't know an awful lot about this, except that it produces 320w at 4, 8 OR 16 Ohms, is quite big, quite heavy and very feckin loud. I understand you don't need a specific preamp to run into it and can use your pedal chain straight into your amp if you want that to do your tone shaping. It's 160w per side (320w total) and I believe they're supposed to use proper GE 6550A power tubes. As far as I know this hasn't been opened up to check what's in there, but I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue if required. Edit - Price!! He is looking for around £550 for this - I think they were 4 figures for a new one and I'm not sure Rivera make them anymore.

There is some limited info and a youtube vid here and a user manual here.

Excuse the iPhone pics. Needless to say, DSL401 not included!

How big is that Rivera? is it 3 or 4U.

Also I need a weight and podssible carriage costs, because unfortunately im In Northern Ireland so pickup is no go.

It may be too much with carriage, but who knows.

All this if it isnt sold of course.
