On tour, I took my V4, and then we bought a Sunn Concert Bass for $250 along the way. The V4 died at about the halfway point, and we just used the Concert Bass for guitar. Just as loud. Which is to say, insufferably loud. Plus, first time we had to use it, I dropped it on a concrete floor, and it just bounced. Picked it back up, plugged it in, and it worked the rest of tour fantastically. Things you definitely cannot do with a V4.

Yep. I'm loving my Traynor TS200 more and more every day. It pretty much was 90% of the DJ booth compared to my Verellen at my wedding. Shit is just brutally loud

there is a TS50 for sale up here tht i've thought about picking up. is it the same preamp as the TS200? i've been curious about these amps for a while for obvious reasons.
is the TS200 200 watts?

I think it's the same pre, so long it has boost/normal input. The TS200 is indeed 200 shattering watts. Even through a 1x12 I only had to put it on 3 in a hall full of people.

Acoustic 450 is loud as shit. I can't put it past 5 volume wise when I jam with the band, it's easily louder then both of my tube amps.
I know someone with a 370, it just sits in his basement and I always forget about it. I need some extra cash so I can get it.

How much is that TS 50? My TS-50B is actually really loud for only being 50w.

I want a Concert Bass super bad. :(

Would love to buy this:

But, it's kinda far and I don't want to pay for the 215.

that is too much considering he won't split the deal. that cab(s) brings no additional value to the deal as far as i am concerned... it's been cut in two. that head would be rad though.

Replaced the light in my amp last night with an actual bulb instead of the cheap LED thing that Jet City originally put in.
