I play guitar through either a big old sony solid state stereo connected to a massive old sony speaker for my obnoxious metallic crispy sound or a 70's Fender music man bass amp for earthy tube sound.
I want to play bass though a huge loud car system so i can shake the world. hoever now i just use one of the previously mentioned amps. ;<

Huge bass amps work better than huge car stereos in any case.

is that 50 or 100 watt?

200. Uses 4 KT-90s for output power. It's from 1969.

i have a fender, want a marshall.

my god, 200. KT-90s, wow. I have would never think you have this. I would guess its a 50 or 100 JMP. Must be very loud and clean. I heard that you can use 6550 instead of KT-90s. I know that Ei from yugoslavia makes good KT-90s. What do you have in it, the originals?

It's a Marshall Major. The originals were KT 88s. You can use 6550s, but the tone suffers. It had 6550s in it when I got it, but I had it totally overhauled and retubed. I think the ones that are in there are Svetlanas, but I don't remember. It is extremely loud and clean, but with all that ridiculous headroom I get seriously great low end tone. It's a surprisingly versatile amp, and sounds great for playing amplified acoustic stuff too, believe it or not. When playing loud rock music, it completely rules.
It was a big change from using combos (my last amp was a Mesa 2x10 that was only 38 watts, though I loved it), but I am not going back. I never used to be a "Marshall guy" until I tried this one. It really is amazing.
I will say that had I been able to afford to keep my old Mesa and still be able to get this one, I would have kept it. That Blue Angel was very nice as well, and was a great "small amp."

Just got:
Fender Deville


To replace this:
Line 6 Flextone II. I think I'm going to keep it for now, until I need my next heroin fix.


Oh yeah, and my bass amp:
Gallien Krueger 400RBIII Head
Avatar 15" Cab

It sounds great clean - it has a really nice warm sound. The four channels allows me to get the sound of a JCM800 aswell as a sound beyond that. It's the best of both worlds, so to speak.

And while we're talking about amps:
I just sold my Acoustic 360 bass cab on Craigslist for $10. It broke down years ago, sat in my mom's basement then in a shed for at least 5 years.
These are strange because the power amp is in the cab, not to mention the speaker faces backwards. I'm keeping the preamp head complete with weird synth-drone like tuner and fuzz!

I think some of those Acoustic amps are kinda cool.

It was a good amp when it worked.

The tolex on that puppy looks sweet.

here's the back

The horror!
I do like the tilt-and-roll design, though.

If i had a big enough car that I could fit it in, I woulda probably kept it and got it repaired eventually. I'm very happy with my much more portable bass rig though.

The tilt and roll feature is definitely a plus. I put mine on a skateboard.

Thanks for taking the time to notice, I really appreciate it.
