Lozz196 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Seeing posts like this just makes me wish I were 20 odd years younger and still able to cart gear like this about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilly Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I had a burgera knock off SVT once , a BBV3000 I think it was . Great amp for peanuts, I only had it for a couple of months . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTypeV4 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 A few years back, I had an Ashton BV300 and that was pretty good - I'd probably still have it if I'd not got my Trace back.. Review here: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilly Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 There’s a guy in Spain selling a George Dennis 120W amp for €599. Looks like a bit of a beast . Anyone know of these amps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilly Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Pure tone amps from Greece look amazing, he does a 120w bass head . it might be my imagination but I think bass tube amps are getting more and more popular, maybe it’s because people are using PA DIs more and don’t need as much power on stage, who knows ? , I can see Harley Benton bringing one out ...

Reggaebass Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I watched a review on the Handbox WB100 and It says it’s got an inbuilt fan , I don’t like fan noise, do most valve amps have them or just some 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've got a Marshall 2x100 chassis which had a fan that thought it were a jumbo jet - a local tech threw it out and replaced it with three slow ones, prob solved - none of my Matamps has a fan, nor did my earlier Selmer Stereomaster, so I think it depends on cab size and ventilation? 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattytown Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 From memory all the valve amps I have had have not had a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabman Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I have a WB-100 and the fan isn't particularly noisy. That is from the perspective of band rehearsal or gigging rather than studio recording with a mic. There are silent computer fans out there , but I don't know if they'd be suitable replacements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks crabman, I’m glad I watched the video as I was just about to buy one, I believe it was @wateroftyne who did the great review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knicknack Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I thought I might throw my rig from a few nights ago into the ring, if only to remind us all that, despite the doom 'n' gloomers, rock and roll isn't quite dead yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CTM100 doesn’t have one as it’s valves are spread out , the ctm300 does however 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
