Let's see your AMP!

My first bass amp in high school was a matching Acoustic Model 220 head + 408(4x15) cab. The head now lives at my friend's studio. But I've been kicking myself for years after selling that cab. Until just the other day I found one locally...



I plan on rewiring it from 2 to 8 ohms for now. But eventually I'll replace all the speakers for more power handling and a normal 4 ohm impedance. The stock speakers sound really cool, but only handle like 300w total.

Between that and my Ampeg 8x10 I feel pretty happy about my bass cab options.

Will this be out on the next Cult Leader tour?

Depending on when I get around to putting new speakers in it, I'd really really like to.

Just off the bench. Univox 1050, picked it up dirt cheap, because it was sick. The OT was dead, so put in a new one, did a cap job, and treated it to a quad of Ruby's. The 12AX7 Mullard's are original "Made in Great Britain", they're probably worth way more than what I paid for the amp. It also came with a set of 60's era RCA 6L6's, but they didn't look like a matched set. I'll have to get them tested.

Another el cheapo find...

Needed a new PT. This one was from the first generation with the bum transformers. Once I got the transfo from Egnater (that was an aria unto itself!!), and a full set of tubes, it's now singing loud and proud.

It's been a great month for amps.

I love the look of those old Univox amps. Glad you finally got the Egnater sorted out.

Ooo. Deys be matchin'! My Sciences match but they're just black on black with chrome. That's a very sexy green.

Normally I would be like, forest green ain't my thing, but suddenly it's my new favorite color.

Great stuff!

Whoa-my-god!

What a first post! Gorgeous amps.

I don't know if this is the place to post this, but has anyone here built their own cab / can anyone point me in a good direction for building a DIY 4x12 cab? I looked at a couple YouTube videos that made me believe that I have the skills to do it, but other searches were somewhat yeildless.

I'd be looking to build something in a Emperor / Janice style with stained wood rather than upholstering with tolex or whatever.

These popped up for free. The amp section for a mid 1950'ies Phillips EL 3501 reel to reel studio recorder. Not quite sure about the condition but it looks clean. Weird input/output but hopefully it will turn into either an instrument amp or a hi-fi system.

It's here and it's SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. I think I'm gonna buy one of his series two 412s to go with this instead of building one. I'm lazy lol
