Well my dilemma has been resolved! I went into the office today and when I spoke about my purchase a colleague said he had an amp that he no longer uses and I could have it - no charge! All I had to do was give it a dust and buy a lead. What a result! In the interest of not commuting the same sin as I did in my other post here is a picture, apologies for the mess but the tonics are for gin. Double celebration today, me with a new amp and my beautiful wife's retirement. All I need to do is learn to play the guitar properly now!
Please accept my sincere and humble apologies! To make up for my schoolboy error, please accept 2 for the price of 1, the Epiphone and the Hohner acoustic I bought back in February. Now I am shopping for an amp, as per my post elsewhere on the forum.
