Let's see your AMP!

My 1959 Selmer TV18 is back home after a makeover at Steamboat Amps in Houston. It was wired originally wired for 220v, designed with no power transformer, and it used these huge resistors. It also used a pair of obscure KT55 tubes, but now has a pair of 6v6s (I'll probably be selling the KT55s as I no longer have a need for them). Now it's set up to run at 120v and it sounds fantastic when totally cranked.

mega jelly of all that
Selmers are the coolest

Snatched up this little save tiny portable like picnic-spinner bass rig:

These two can get most any job done but I've been known to clown.

New amp combination. Hiwatt + AC30 <- Treblebooster <- SG tuned to C = Classic 70s tones.

Nice, nice, nice, and NICE! Total badassery in that picture.

1980 JMP, 100 watts and a pretty early version of those Ampeg B&W straight cabs. I think I'm the fourth owner of the cab. I think Stephen Egerton of The Descendents was the original owner of the cab. I also had one of his guitars for a little while until the neck split right at the heel (that really hurt).

Anyone who has some Sunn stacks that hasn't posted in a while give us an update?

I've got a Sunn Sonic I and Sunn cab and I'm eyeing a Solarus or Beta stack to complement it. Please tempt me.

What year is your AR50? Mine is a 79 and it doesn't have the binding like yours

1980.
I also had one with the same binding from 1983.

I miss the one from 1983. The one from 1980 didn't feel just right, somehow.

I had both a Solarus and a Beta Bass at various points. The Solarus is just okay. I'm not super crazy about most of the Sunn tube amps everyone goes nuts over. I think the Model T is a great bass amp but that's about it. The beta-bass however is one of my favorite heavy guitar sounds ever, hit it with a little overdrive.... oof. pairs well with 15" Black Widows.

Gotta ask, where did you get your grill cloths?
