tayste_2000 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm hoping to get one in the next year or so, ideally in line with my 30th birthday (so I have an excuse to buy it) but maybe sooner. Problem is I'm going off recorded tone etc as to wanting to get one, I have no idea if I want a 60's or 70's model, single or double baffle etc so wondering if anyone knows where there are some good examples, I don't mind renting the amp, or a studio for an hour or so to try it out in. Cheers in advance guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Have you asked around at local studios? I've tried two and they were both "residents" in that situation! A case of don't meet your heros for me but you might have more luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 My '67 is currently residing at BassGear in Twyford if that's anywhere near you? You'd be welcome to try it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Not really but how much are you asking for it btw? I assume it's for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 V&R have one, not for sale as I understand it, but every time I've played a bass there it's sounded that bit better for going through it. Frankly it's certainly a lovely amp, but much like a pre-CBS Fender, there's new gear does the same job at a fraction of the price (and weight). My Boogie Buster sounds the same whilst providing 400% more power for half the price C PS having said that, I'd love one, so if Barrie's selling, investigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's not for sale I'm afraid. It's being used by someone for a recording and it's just stored there in between sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ah no worries, I'm ok now anyway [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/2r3vw9x.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Excellent, kinda think you need the Mesa for the one-stop shop though, let me know if you fancy a trade-type chat......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Boogie but don't need 200+ watts of tubes. I've really struggled to find a decent low power all-tube setup, they're either too small, like the Ashdown LB, or too big like most of the Ampeg, Mesa etc. I'm pretty convinced it's going to have to be a B-15 eventually.

[/quote] Well I'm over in Macclesfield if you want to try the B-15 out, you can also try my 4w Matamp rig as well but we're really getting into small tube amp territory then I'd like to try the LB out I'd be surprised if it was quieter than the B-15 though. 100w amps I'd recommend any of those Simms Watt PA100s they are lovely and sound great, but not small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
