In fairness, 400 is a guess as it's 2nd hand. I think it originally sold for 1000 Euro or so?

Simon, I rarely comment on equipment because I have a simple logic; if it sounds good then it is good.

sounds good and is nigh on invisible!

I'd imagine it's wee-ness was its Achilles heel sales wise; I love the fact that it disappears, but I'd say the massive fins and rack handles brigade wouldn't have been quite so taken?
