I found these on t'ebay and they seem pretty nice, maybe as a cool backup bass. Anyone played one before?

Thought I'd chime in as my Fender Bassman 135's valves get a blue glow when I take it off standby. Not sure what kind of valves are in it, as long as it rocks hard, I don't mind.

I used to do the Kim Deal head roll, with the fag hanging out my mouth. Not any more though, thank you smoking ban

I've got a feeling they're 500. Tayste will come here at some point and let you know.

It's worth just saying aswell, if you do go to the factory, give them a ring first and see if they have a GT200 you can play on. I went one week and they were still building one, went the next and got a go through it. Not sure what cabs they have up there either. An 8x10 maybe, but if you have your own cab it may be worth taking that up too, so you're not disappointed

It does 200 watts clean and around 300 dirty. I'd agree to try if possible before you buy. It's got a lovely tone, and the drive knob does add some ermm drive, but to get full on power amp drive you'll need to crank it. That's not to say it doesn't sound dirty with the volume low, but it just sounds better at higher volume if that's what you want. Maybe PM Monz on here, he has one and swears by it. By 'swears by it', I mean he thinks it's f**king brilliant

There's no mention of the bass amps on the website at all, that's where! Sorry, I jest. You have to ring up and ask.

I'd written a big long reply, but then the electricity went in my office and lost it all. To summarise.... I guess they are special order. You can customise it anyway you want. I had mine in 13 days, but that includes about a week of nothing when I was working and couldn't get up to the factory to order my stuff. I'd reckon lead time would be a week or just under. Vintage voiced? Running the bassman gets a nice thumpy vintage sound, but they can also do very clean hi-fio schtuff. Monz and Butler on here have different speakers to me and Ste, but if you ring them they will ask you what you want and what sound you're going for, and they won't rest until you're happy! It may look like us lot that have them are ejaculating all over them, but they really are necta!

Did the orange tolex have a surcharge maybe?

Ahh ok. I'm sure they understood then

Having got Matamp stuff I play with my back to the audience and just stare at the cabs, my 2x12 rig sat in my lounge for hours and it kept drawing my attention away from the TV[/quote] Well I've never gigged a matamp yet! I thought your chums maybe thought I was a bit strange cos when I'd stopped playing the GT200 I just stood there and looked at it for a while....weeping from a lack of funds!

I know a cab's a cab, and when you're palying you don't really look at it, but I think they look so much better on their sides. Makes it look a bit more meaty if you ask me

I managed to squeeze off the other logo on the side now, so I'll update these in a day or two. I get to crank the bassman tonight aswell, so that should be....fun!

It's just basically what you think of when you think of 'red'. A lot richer and darker in colour, than the photos can show.

Ste - That's what I'm thinking. I tried to remove it, but don't want to 'f' it up within hours. Jazz - Cheers. Yeh it's a mexican LPB body, Wizard pickups and a Warmoth Tele neck.

The thread's just under this one

it's wonderful!
