I also had one of these as my first "proper amp" back in about 1988. I listened to some old recordings of it a few years back and it actually sounded really good as a bass amp, wish i'd kept it. I traded it for a marshall which was utter sh*te! [/quote] '88 was when I got mine too! Mine blew up and I threw it away. It didn't occur to me to get it repaired. A real shame. I also ended up with an Amp I absolutely hated, a Carlsboro Stingray. I ran the Klipp through an old 60's Marshall 4x12 but I swapped that for a crappy 1x15 because I couldn't lift the 4x12 on my own (I was only a kid).

I certainly wouldn't mind finding one for that price now!! I did the exact same thing, traded mine for a Marshall 1x15 combo which to this day is still by far the worst amp i've ever owned/used! I think i kept the Marshall about 2 months before i developed enough hatred for it that i had to go get something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 [quote name='eude' post='1340859' date='Aug 15 2011, 04:47 PM']I think Cass Lewis from Skunk Anansie and Timmy C from RATM both run a "bass" bass amp and an "effects" bass amp, giving their dirty tone a lot more welly. Cass was using Eden rigs last time I heard (albeit a while ago) and Tim has bounced between Ashdown and Ampeg for the last few years... Eude[/quote] Timmy C actuallys runs 3 and has previous used 4 (nothing compared to John Entwistles 8 rigs!) A Clean one, semi dirt (another semi dirty if it's 4) and a full gain rig (all the same head i think all ampeg valve heads IIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
