Where to find white stacks?

Post by tsrautia » Tue Jun 21, 2016 7:19 am

Let's keep it simple: I want to buy Orange Thunderverb/Rockerverb/Rocker head and cab in Limited white color. It seems to be quite impossible to find them in my country or even in Europe. Found some items in USA but toll costs are too much. So if someone has some tips where I could find the beauties please help! :)

You don't say which country you're in?
You can add that to your profile, it often saves a lot when doing recommendations, as the options available in the UK, Europe and USA/Canada can be quite different.

Unfortunately, the white tolex isn't an option - they were available for order in limited runs for a year, twice. The first year was simply white tolex for regular tolex (black piping, regular handle), the 2nd year they did it was to commemorate something so memorable I have no idea what it is, and had gold piping and I think gold handle too.

These limited runs are over now, and getting one of these is down to NOS still unsold, or 2nd hand market.

An option that you may want to consider and may be cost economic is to buy a used head with tolex rips, you should be able to get a good price for these, and commission a cab manufacturer to make you a brand new headsleeve and matching cab for it.

Yep sorry I didn't mention my location but now it is added to my profile: Finland.

2nd hand is the one I have been looking for but at least in Finland there has been none in the markets. Retolexing an "orange" one was in my mind too but out-of-the-box white model would be much easier option at the moment.

In Finland I assume the 2nd hand market is much smaller, so you'll probably need to tap in the EU market and pay higher shipping.

I still reckon the most cost economic is to get get a head sleeve built for a Head with well worn sleeve. If you were to contact a company like Zilla, (UK company making high quality cabs) you could probably get a cab and sleeve sent at the same time and save on shipping too.

Just checked Zilla's Web site, they ship to Europe.

Their fatboy PPC212 seem very much like an Orange PPC212 in terms of size and weight (and is shown in white too for added convenience..... ;)).

Time machine is your best bet... :mrgreen:

It would be incredibly difficult, even here in the USA, to find what you're looking for. They're around on ebay every so often but it would need a lot of patience.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Not really much time investment there, just a few quick searches during my coffee break.
The key was probably to use other languages.

This forum helped me to get some things straight when I wasn't even a member, so I'm happy if I can give something back.

Back on topic, if it was me, I would probably order the combo from one place and the 212 or 412 (depending on what purpose you have in mind) from the other and stack that.

Big thanks for your responses and suqqestions! The one in ebay would be okay but it's a bit too dirty :D Flightcases are must to have with white amps. I have one custom made white "mini-stack" and it needs some work to keep it white!

But need to continue searching. I would be happy if I have Oranges in few months 8)
