deanovw Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) SOLD Hi, I am reluctantly selling my Selmer, Twin Bass 30, valve amp. Made in 1968 it is a true piece of history. I have had it professionally gone through by umph, on here, and it works great. He commented on how good the clean tone is on it. I don't want to sell it but I need to raise funds. SOLD Any inspection is welcome of course. I am in Cornwall so I know its not handy for most people. Edited April 20, 2012 by deanovw
deanovw Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 No love for this? Any reasonable offer considered.
Bassnut62 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Hi I think it's cool Can you say more about sound? Can you compare it to sound of other better known amps? Is it all valve? Is it 30w? What imprudence does it like?
Happy Jack Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 All valve. [i]Valves were 2 x EL506, 2 x ECC82, and two silicon rectifiers. (The EL506 is an obscure valve, difficult to find nowadays. Its modern equivalent is a Model 7868 nine pin power pentode.)[/i] Quoted from http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/selmer/black/sel4a.html
deanovw Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks Happy Jack. Bassnut62: This amp has had a new set of el506's It is 30 Watt The output is 8ohms Unfortunately I cant compare it to other valve amps as I have zero experience in that department.
tayste_2000 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Tempting....... What's the noise level like? Hiss etc
deanovw Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 It has a hiss. However wth the volume on full it all but disappears. It seems very loud but I have not used it with a live drummer.
