Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 dear god, I would be all over this if only I had £330
paulflan0151 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 What cab/s do you put this through? I'm wondering about the amp only being 30 watts and most cabs being between 150/200 and 500 watts RMS.
tom1946 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) It goes through my Marshall 1x15 cab @300w. This amp is so powerful through that, it shakes the windows. Don't think 'oh it's only 30w' because in the real world valve amps are far more powerful than solid state. I can't tell any difference with my Hartke HA3500 combo. Edited April 6, 2011 by tom1946

I've used my Orange Tiny Terror guitar amp for gigs through a 4X12, he's only got 15 watts inside him, but boy does he kick it out! Good luck with the sale, looks like a nice amp.
garythebass Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Hi Tom, have a bump on me! Bought my current bass from Tom a few months ago - great guy to deal with!
tomhunt Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Very tempting... I have a Jazz bass I could trade. Been looking for one of these as well!
