Chad Thorne Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I'm playing my bass thru my silverface Twin Reverb guitar player. I play at minimum volume, but stuff still rattles. Some is floorboards and some is amp cab; but should I not do this? I don't want to blow the 50w Celestions out. Also, does anyone have experience with/opinions of the Fender Bassman 200 solid state amp? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbread_medhotmail.com Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I would highly recommend that you stop using your Twin now. You will ruin it. Maybe not now, but eventually, you will ruin it and have to spend a lot of money. I have heard good things about the Bassman 200. I have never played one, but I hear they're good stuff. They might be worth a shot trying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBandstand Prod. Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Get one of these and you will be happy...you can RAWHIDE it and it will not fail. Carvin PB100-10 My eyes were opened to this piece by a bassist that brought one into the studio for a session. I *ALMOST* offered Him 500$ for it...until I found out you can buy a brand new one for 279. It is a steal. Good for up to a 200 person venue...no problem. Mic it..and you got it made.. Shade and paste this in your browser for a look. http://www.carvin.com/cgi-bin/get.exe?PAGE=detail&CFG=2&SearchStr=(I.ItemNumber='PB100-10')+AND+(CID2='BA') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Thorne Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Get right the f*** out! That Carvin is too good to be true; any idea if it sports a line-out jack for going direct? If it does it will probably be my dream amp for some time to come... BTW, Bill, if you care to e-mail me at cft353@hotmail.com I can tell you how to get in touch with Bill Hullett, if you don't already know... Cornbread, thanks for the input about my Twin. I waited a lot of years to get it and DON'T want to wreck it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillBandstand Prod. Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 And....an effects line send jack...sweet stuff... BTW...they have their 1500 watt amp for 499 now... One thing about Carvin, they Guarantee you like the performance ...or they will take it back. All there gear is "good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Thorne Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 I'm so glad you mentioned Carvin. I know their stuff is good; especially attractive to a someone who wants quality equipment but can't always afford to pay retail for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lug Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 or check out the Carvin PB-200 for $100 more you get 160 watts, a graphic equalizer and variable tweeter. Still about $230 less than the Fender. You can stop now -jeremyc STOP QUOTING EVERY THING I SAY!!! -Bass_god_offspring lug, you should add that statement to you signature.-Tenstrum I'm not sure any argument can top lug's. - Sweet Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Friedland Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 I've used the PB200 when I do clinics for Carvin, it's a good sounding little amp. It won't get you heard over a stack of Marshalls, but you can push it a bit. ------------------ www.edfriedland.com www.edfriedland.com The Bass Whisperer Bass Whisperer TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
