bootros Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Following on from this thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85583"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85583[/url] I'm reconnecting with some of my old bass gear. Lurking in the garage under a dust sheet (bin bag) is this fella: I seem to remember these causing all sorts of arguments when new mainly due to the cab design. I bought this in the early 90s if memory serves me correctly. Is there a market for roadworn/relic'ed amps? If not there should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkomor Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Nice sounding amps those! I know a few people who use them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have one of these. Might not have been this exact spec but I have a 1x10 Trace Combo with that design port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 My first proper amp was a BLX 130. It still belongs to a mate of mine. Had a nice enough tone, not huge amount of volume though. Never quite saw the point of a heavy, 130 watt amp - louder than needed for practicing and too quiet to compete with a drummer, although I suppose it would do well in an acoustic based band.

Agree about the weight, it's a real back breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a great price trading it in. It was VERY heavy for a 1x10...and it struggled with volume. I jumped up a GP12400SMX after that, and wow was that loud! (And heavy).
