barteroo2002 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Afternoon all. I was invited to see The Coral in Bristol t'other night. First things first - I really enjoyed it! It's wonderful seeing a band doing a kind of folky-pop thing that can elevate into rock and psychadelia during the gig. I've had Magic and Medicine since it came out but haven't listened to it in a while - really enjoyed the set. Secondly - met their manager on the tour bus - ranks fairly highly in the 'Hilarious *That CAN'T BE TRUE!!* Storyteller' list!! Anyway - the bass tone was so nice all night. He was going through a Vox Head, into an Ampeg 810. I can't seem to find any Vox heads really. Any ideas? It was a proper Vox looking head too - you know that Diamond Pattern fabric design. I'm jealous of the tone big time. Anyone know anything about Vox and Bass??? Found this picture on their Facebook Page and the amp on the right was definitely 100% the bass amp. Cheers guys.

stoker Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 from the look it could either be a t100 (aka ac100) or foundation head. bit too big to be a t60 head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpop Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Looks like a V125b head. I had one only a few months ago. It a fantasic head using four EL34 valves giving 125 watts of nice warm valve sound. You can pick them up or around £300 - £400. Only draw back is the crap eq, so use an active bass with good eq or buy a pedal. Edited June 25, 2011 by voxpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 A long long time ago, when I were but a lad I used to make them (I worked for Vox of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty cool for a valve amp. Funny you mentioned the EQ - I noticed the bassist had a few pedals, an EQ being one of them. I thought it sounded so nice - how come you got rid of yours?

Delberthot Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I used to have a super foundation 2x15" cab and I remember seeing a kind of dummy Vox head where it looked like a Vox from the front but there was actually a Gallien Krueger amp hidden at the back. It was some sort of a dummy head meant to look the part but actually work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
