Amps Again


Chad Thorne

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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..

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...

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.
