Gearlist: Fav: Gibson LP and Gibson Goldtone Amp. Other gear: Gretsch, Peavey, Taylor and more.

I bought one of the these in the early 2000's. It was a fantastic amp but requires Hercules to tote it. Also when you get the tubes engaged it is loud as hell. It was just too much amp.

Sounds great but I wish that they would play in context of a jam track or band.

I have a True North Tweed Drive pedal that does a great bassman. 'Doesn't weigh too much. :)

Anything over 5 watts is almost too much of an amp, certainly for the home player. Even small venues aren't really the place for a Bassman, that's why Johnny Winter used to turn his backwards on stage in small clubs to prevent the audience from hearing loss.
