Bridgehouse Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 An acquaintance of mine said he had "an old bass amp" I might like for a small charitable donation.. OK, I thought.. sure.. he lives quite a way away and it'll be a few weeks before I can go collect... turns out though, it's one of these: (images aren't the actual items!!) And also comes with one of these: Quite looking forward to it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 You`re not going to be disappointed @Bridgehouse (well your back might be with the cab) they are fine amps, bags of power, really effective eq options, I had one for a while and it was awesome.

Yup, look here >> http://www.musewiki.org/Bass That particular amp features pretty heavily throughout Muse's recording and touring. They're beastly, in a good way, as far as I recall.

Bridgehouse Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 So I finally got to pick this up. Its heavy. Like small planet heavy. It’s also utterly obscenely loud and has the most glorious thick and creamy sound I’ve ever heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Needs the logo sticking back on the front and a service, but otherwise it’s good to go. See? I’m not killing rock and roll... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Borrowed one of these from a friend for some recording many, many moons ago. Great sounding amps & cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Brilliant amps. I have the 7400 (Yours looks like the 7200). Brilliant sound, lots of flexibilty, and massive peak power. If yours is the 7200 its 200W continuous, and 2000W peak. It's a class H amplifier, so when it needs the extra power it switches to a higher voltage power supply. I suspect you'll find it deafening (We're talking Marshall Watts here, which I think is similar to a Trace Elliot Watt). Gary Twigg often plays through one of these as well.

I suspect the 7400 would be, um, overkill (lol) I’ve been offered a 7210 cab which I may just add to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 That one at 1300 has been appearing on Ebay for ages, with the price gradually being reduced. To my mind £1300 is ridiculous, I would have thought more like £500 - 750. £130 is still a brilliant bargain for a brilliant bit of kit.

Dunno whether it’s gas or not.. don’t get me wrong, I’ll be mostly gigging frfr - but I can see this stack getting a few outings when I really want to give it some..
