SOLD Boogie Bass 120 all valve head SOLD £500 PE28 0LF

[Pentode]

Up for sale is my Boogie Bass 120.

This started out originally as a Sound City 120 complete with the infamous noisy preamp. It was due for a recap anyway so I sent it to Rob Dix at RD Amplification for a complete rebuild. Rob put his own 'Boogie Bass' preamp in there and refined the output section whilst retaining those lovely Partridge transformers.

It has very little noise unless you crank it up to 10 with the treble and mids on full too, otherwise, it's a remarkably low noise amp. On the other hand, don't be fooled by the '120' - Rob had the six 6CA7's pushing out over 160 watts on his bench which, when plugged into my Bergantino NV412 is positively seismic.

It's a quality build using ceramic valve sockets and quality components throughout. Biasing is made simpler (and much safer!) with the sockets on the rear for plugging a multimeter into.

Although the wiring looks chaotic, it's a deliberate ploy to reduce noise and it works!

Any questions please ask, I'll try and answer them.

Looking for £500 which includes overnight delivery within the UK.
