Total Watts

  1. msb started following Farewell Danny Thompson , This or that...headphone amps. and Is the Rumble 15 ported?

    I picked up a HoTone Thunderbass 5 watt amp for a song on kijiji. Fairly cheap , it looked like a funky little thing , total impulse buy. I had a nice practice rig , so I didn’t spend much time using a speaker with it , but I was surprised by the time I spent using it as a headphone amp. Had a mini aux in so I could plug in a tablet and play along. I was spending considerable time with the headphones memorizing material. I didn’t want to drive Herself bonkers. Later I found a Phil Jones BigHead on kijiji , the HoTone worked wonderfully but I couldn’t resist the PJ. It’s a more elegant solution. Before the HoTone I had been using a GK MB200. It also has a mini aux input. Many little Class D heads can be run without a load , and have a mini input. https://i.postimg.cc/B68wBfcn/IMG-2672.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/G2358s95/IMG-0060.jpg

    Nice looking thing , priced reasonably. Now most things I’ve imported have come from the US , and a bargain is no longer a bargain after you factor in the exchange , duty , shipping , and occasional brokerage fees. I haven’t done any imports from the UK , yet …

    Broughton make great stuff , and it’s a tiny owner/operator business.

    Here in Canada Long & McQuade are saying they will be available sometime in 2026.

    We were beginning to look after my mother-in-law. I didn’t want to be dragging an amp between our place and hers , so I thought something small and cheap would do the trick. I was accustomed to a little GK MB150 at home. That started my quest for funky practice rigs.

    I found the Rumble 15 awful. Couldn’t flip it fast enough.

    Harmony H22 batwing , SG , and Gretsch Thunderjet 6128B , all with flats , I’m a thumper.

    I loved Pentangle , and the Martyn songs , and I felt gutted when I heard he passed. I’ve looked up a lot of YouTube videos in the last several days. Legend.

    Mine had been modded by previous owners , Badass bridge , Jazz pickup , but I liked the mods. one of my regrets. Still have the fretted rosewood , 72 too. I was once a Pbass guy. Not so much now , I’ve come to prefer shortscales.

    Love that maple fretless , used to have one , regret selling it. Mine was a 72.

    I had several of those 50 Bassman heads , wound up selling them to guitar players. Great little heads , and not all that heavy.

    Welcome , my first shortscale was a Longhorn , one of the first reissues in the late 90’s. And at first I really did not care for the shorter scale. Somehow the more I played it , the more I liked it. And for many years was my primary bass. My number 1 today is a medium scale. I prefer the shorter scale , but it’s a lovely bass.

    Thank you , I’m a bit nerdy about the stuff. I’m really just an old school thumper that likes a big , fat , rich , old school thump , and I’m ok with little Class D heads for home practice , for gigs I break out the tube preamp. I have too many amps , but just the right amount of cabs.

    It’s the Korean reissue of the Harmony H22 , a friend has a 62 original , interesting to compare them.

    These two are my current favourites , both hollow bodies. The big orange Gretsch is the main one , just picked up the batwing.
