Modulus Valve/Tube 50 Watt KIt Amps and 100 Watt (Possibly) coming soon

[Chienmortbb]

I almost myself into building a Valve amp recently. You remember valves. They look like cola bottles with small electric heaters inside.

 

Anyway,  contacted Michael at Modulus Amps and go a reply that went something lie this:

 

We have the golden bottom kit and the tweed bassman kit, they
are both 50w amps that are really most famous for guitar use as 50W is
not really considered enough for gigging with a bass unless you are
playing motorhead.

There will be a 100w bass in the future.

 

So I asked for more info, the reply came back:

 

Hi John, Here are the links.

The Golden bottom amp can be fitted into the small box or compact head cabs.

The bassman amp is normally fitted into a combo that could be mounted
into a large head too

Keeping to the two power valve option on these, we could make the
transformers suitable for two 6550 or KT88 which will give more power.
Also if someone was interested in the 100w amps, most of our kits
develop from people ordering a kit and then us putting it all together
for them. Takes a little longer but has always worked out.

I would love to do an Ampeg based kit at some stage, but that will not
happen in the next 12 months unless someone puts coin down. The problem
with higher powered bass amps is the iron and the valves get really
expensive fast.

 

So get in touch with Michael if you want to build a better bass amp.
