NAD Fender Bassman 800

Clearly the Tonehammer 500 was too convenient: plenty of power and a nice tone in a package that fits comfortably in a small rucksack. 

 

So, it's new amp day, and along has come a Fender Bassman 800. Looking forward to trying it out on anger at the weekend rehearsal. 

 

In the meantime, if you want a Tonehammer 500 or EBS Reidmar 250, there are some nice ones in the classifieds

I'll be interested to read your report back on this. I have the 500 which is the same other than slightly lower output power. It is a great amp, underrated. My only criticism is that you don't really need both the vintage and overdrive channels as you can replicate the vintage with the overdrive if you only need a single sound (which suits me) - but it is useful if your core sound is vintage, to be able to used overdrive as a boost on the footswitch or for a contrasting tone.

We've got a rehearsal tomorrow night so I'll give it a go.

 

80-90% of the time will be on the vintage channel, but we've got a couple of rockier ones that I may try using the overdrive channel
