paulflan0151 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've been in touch with rob at weinbrock amps about a bass amp. He says he has a bass amp in production called a MB-5B. It is a 2 channel amp valve amp, 100 watts. Anyone heard about these? I've only heard good things about weinbrock so it could be very interesting!

sifi2112 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My mate played one a few months ago, think it was a 200w head .. he liked it (I've asked him to comment btw) I also saw one of his guitar combos in a Keighley shop & is certainly looked quality (was not cheap which some how reassuring lol) .. on website they do look nice but haven't tried myself.

paulflan0151 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks, Might go down to check one out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I played a protoype live a few times at a local blues festival last year and to be honest they are not for me! Maybe it will suit you better, but make sure that you give it a good try out first. I've met Rob and he is a nice guy who knows his stuff, but I think that he has to really think thru what bass players need from an amp. His guitar amps are [b]very, very [/b]good.....!

Hick Jim Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I must have played the same one as peteb at the blues festival, I quite liked it! Great tone, efficient and punchy live. A decent quality build as with the guitar amps. Some footage here, camera's moving around and picking up through the mic only so sound's a bit chaotic at times: http://youtu.be/OhwQKB0ip-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) There you go - what works for one player may not for another! I would love Rob to work with a bass player who has got a good idea about getting different bass sounds and produce an amp with more headroom and possibly different voicings! I'm sure that would be great..... PS. Good luck to the OP whatever you do and let us know how you get on - I for one would be very interested.....

Kirky Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Rob did a service on my guitar amp recently (70s Vibrolux Reverb). He's a really nice guy and very passionate about valve amps. I'd love to try one of his bass amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
