Mr. Foxen Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Cheers to Shockwave for the heads up, just picked up this Sound City 150, which takes me to 13 or 14 Sound Citys, retarded, at least this one is different. [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/SC150/sc150001.jpg[/IMG] Point out this nice feature, it is a bass amp, so you get bass controls: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/SC150/sc150003.jpg[/IMG] Mmmm, GECs: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/SC150/sc150006.jpg[/IMG] Serious iron: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/SC150/sc150016.jpg[/IMG] Tidy gubbins: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/SC150/sc150012.jpg[/IMG] Quote
OldG Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 My first 'real' bass amp was one of these - want it back!!!! Quote
hillbilly deluxe Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I've never seen a bass 150,used to use a 120,great amps.Jealous. Quote
Big_Stu Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 4x GEC KT88's???????? I saw a set of those go for £600 on Ebay a couple of years ago. I'm guessing with those trannies & bottles it's way under-rated at 150w??? Have you had chance to fire it up yet, or is it going for an overhaul? Very nice looking condition too. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 Sold to me as working, I did my usual maintenance, of photo everything, open it up, and clean everything, all the sockets with meths and suitable sized cleany things (interdental toothbrush, pipe cleaner, cotton but), sprayed the pots. Visual check of everything, fuse check, and fired it up. Works fine, sounds great, bit of hiss, reckon it needs a recap. Never sure what the deal is with Sound City ratings, the 120 has 6 EL34 so 150w+ by conventional logic. Maybe they worked from a cleaner standard or something. Pretty much going to move on the GECs, don't like putting wear on things I can't replace, and is likely this will be taking over from my 120, anyone wanna buy a 120? Also scrubbed up the case, a voice from above said 'Is that a Hiwatt?'. After a bit of confusion, turns out the guy lining the neighbour's chimney plays lap steel and used to rock a SC50. Oh, I put shorter screws holding the chassis in too, cause there was about half an inch extra going through which meant it took ages to get them out.
