Using a bass head (MAG300 Evo ii) without a cab

Can't remember any of them without a net search, but new amps of this type are very rare these days. Though I seem to remember that some Hi-Fi freaks swear by some of them. I'd guesssuppose they say the distortion introduced by yet another stage is more musical than the distortion found in many or strong transistors, Idunno.

What I really was thinking of though was 60s amps (some 50s too maybe?) that are still in use, as there seems to be some degree of revival of using them old ones. The Dutch bass forum has had some exchange about old solid state amps, IMS.
Also here in Norway there is some "milieu" for this. I own an old solid state - probably with output transformer - that a guitarist I know swore by, until he moved out of the country and left it with me. Have never used it, but feel I must try it now.


BTW, by what I wrote I was not stating that valves have nothing to do with it. I'm still no expert, and have no idea about how valves would respond. Gut feeling says they're vulnerable, but mind seems to say they essentially work like transistors.


Anyway, the MAG heads are safe, and that's the core here.
I was just afraid of an untruth spreading.
