Quilly Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I recently purchased a 50W Carsbro 50-Top guitar head for a bag of beans lately. Looks looks like a decent enough head but the power valves were knackered so I've sent it off for a r-re-valve and check up. I plan to just play around with it but I've no Idea what to expect through a bass cab, I plan on using a barefaced two10. I reckon it'll be sensitive enough to get a respectable level of volume with it. Just wondering if anyone else has tried paring a valve guitar head with a bass cab? What did it sound like? I'm expecting one hell of a dirty racket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I used to have one of those back in the late 70s. I think you'll find they're actually lead/bass amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converse320 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I sometimes use a Peavey Classic 50 with a Mesa Boogie 1516 and it sounds great. Theres just a whole load of sounds that aren't that needed/relevant - but if it does a reasonable clean sound I'm sure you'll be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lord Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 amps with the fender tone stack can sound fantastic used for bass, through a bass cab. At home, i've played my fender jazz through my 68 fender twin custom reissue into a bass cab, and it sounds great. Lots of low end, and a sweet clean sound. Have tried the same thing with a JCM800 though, and it sounded....well, not crap but certainly a specialist kind of sound. Maybe if you were in a Motorhead trib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
