Re: Is that you, Bill?
the lockard amp is $2800 because the cost is over $2000. it's clearly a labor of love, and an expensive one. it's hand made USA labor, and it's top notch construction by an insanely high end amp builder.
the amp was created in very low numbers and wasn't intended to be
a money maker, it was designed for high end recordings.
matt sorum also has a lockard 187 prominently displayed quite often in photos of his world class studio. the 187's been used in high end studios on glen campbell, doobie brothers, and heavy metal, everything in between. nothing like a champ really, which is an amp i surely love. the 32ohm was a happy accident, it just sounds better that way.
this amp is quite a monster, y'all sound like a bunch of cry babies, and none of y'all would be saying any of this to eric's face, that's for damn sure.
it's a loud as hell class A 8W, it will chew & spit out a champ
w/out trying. nothing out there sounds like the lockard, which
is why it was released. all amps have their applications.
the lockard 187 surely has it's place. it's not for everyone. it's a very articulate, intense tone. i was with steve stevens one night when he tried it out, it was "too much gain" for him, but he certainly acknowledged the quality of the tone. there were a couple 187's at el dorado for the jane's addiction record and didn't get used because of a combination of technical problems and "too much low end". one man's "too much low end" is another man's holy grail tone. dave likes his JCM900 for damn sure. i'm pretty sure billy duffy has also had some fun with it. this amp delivers a very thick, vintage tone. not like a bassman, not like a marshall. maybe more like a supro/valco on crack more than anything.
i owned one for several years and ultimately traded it out to a studio, because that's where it belongs, and i was liquidating a lot of gear. it's one of the few pieces of gear i've sold in my life, out of hundreds, that i can say i regret not having around.
how come you dint tell me how good the cheese was?

it's not for everyone... everyone isn't discriminating enough to play a tiny toy as a highend world class studio amp.

Theres a 187 on ebay now, about $600.
It looks like it was made in a doner chassis. Vintage power trafo, hidden OPT.
A few extra unused sockets. No gut shots.

Do not limit yourself to what others think is reasonable or possible.

At a cost of $2800 each Eric could have built 5.6 amps the cost of all components and head cab per amp.
Take a simple cheap amp and put it into the hands guitarist that don't know value and presto they open their wallet.
Almost seems comical but so sad so many are so stupid to believe this terrible sounding amp is only possible through the building hands of one said Eric.
Statements like no one can build amp as good is the real insult here.
The cheese was great!

That is simply the worst piece of shit I have ever heard.
As a record producer from highend studios I think I know suck fucking ass when I hear it.
That amp should be called the SFA-POS.

Re: Is that you, Bill?
By saying it was too much gain for him, Steve Stevens was probably trying to politely say he didn't care for the sound of blocking distortion.
