Pure tone amps from Greece look amazing, he does a 120w bass head . it might be my imagination but I think bass tube amps are getting more and more popular, maybe it’s because people are using PA DIs more and don’t need as much power on stage, who knows ? , I can see Harley Benton bringing one out ...
-
I reached out to the guy (for research purposes only of course 😉) and it was sold - Thank God ! 😅
-
There’s a guy in Spain selling a George Dennis 120W amp for €599. Looks like a bit of a beast . Anyone know of these amps ?
-
I had a burgera knock off SVT once , a BBV3000 I think it was . Great amp for peanuts, I only had it for a couple of months .
-
I remember that matamp he had Drooled over it for ages ☹️
-
Well it’s the best sounding bass amp I’ve ever had, I had one old guitar amp that also sounded amazing. It was a Carlsbro 50 top and the the transformers in it were massive . It sounded great with bass , especially the dirty channel. It was 50w through 2xEL34s . I bought and sold it for peanuts . I wish I’d never sold it ☹️

That’s an amazing deal
-
Even fiesta red ? Even the Pino P bass ?!?
-
I’d like to try some NOS sometime . Some RCAs or Telefunkens. Just to see if the hype around old stock is real or if new valves are just as good.
-
The JJs work perfectly for me , I used TAD STR ones before and they were also good but a bit more expensive. I doubt there’s THAT much difference between them . I might try them again , they’re supposed to be a bit more kick in them .
-
I’ve both those amps, they’re just great . ! I think the tone for the little bastard is just wonderful
-
I wish I hadn’t known about these amps 😭
-
Champion like 😀
-
Are they made by geordies 😂
-
I failed bigly this year (again ) with this little bastard but I don’t care. I’m in that in between GAS phase where I’m contemplating what to obsess over next. As sure as night follows day it’ll be cabinets next 😭😭😭
-
I reckon it’s some people saw Victor Wooten or Pino do it once and figured “oh this is what you have to do to be taken seriously “
-
You beat me to it, like WHAT is that about?

Today I managed to get 95dB out of my Ashdown Little Bastard and a Barefaced Two 10. OK it wasn't the most trouser flapping bass sound ever heard but it was pretty damn loud. I reckon I can get it to 100dB with my 2 * 15 Schroeder. That would be an amazing feat for a 30W head.
-
I often wondered could you get a pure valve slave amp for bass 🤔
-
A good bass into a good amp. Nothing else needed IMO!

You might not always need effects but sometime an eq or compressor pedal can really come in handy if the venue is not conducive to decent sound . -
What I love about these amps is they always sound a bit pushed even at moderate volumes . They can still get surprisingly loud.
-
I never heard of this amp before so I checked it out ...thanks a lot 😭😭
-
I’d get the CTM300 if I had a choice . That’s if you really want to be brutally loud and don’t mind the extra weight. There’s ways of living with a SVT type head. Use a trolley for example, get a mate to help, try and use a car with a low tail gate or van One word of advice , read up on manual handling techniques.

Garden gig on Friday night 😃

Did you gig with this recently ? As you know I’ve pretty much the same set up now. sounds loud to me?
