:2thumbups: :love: :w: Sweet. I wish I could have come across some of this gear , actually I did, back in the 80's. I just wasn't much of a gearhead as I try to be now. I say try cause I allways find some other doo dad or gadget that catches my fancy, and tell myself "I can get one of those off of SleazeBay later". :frownz:

Re: My Vintage Amps
 

Almost all of this stuff, with the sole excpetion of the Sunn head, was bought locally, where I had a chance to actually see it in person and try it out. A bit harder to resist a deal in person. :winkx:

Speaking of deals,here's another vintage amp I got, simply because it was a good deal:

It's a Randall RB120, my guess is that indicates it's rated at 120 Watts. It's a sold state 1x15 combo bass amp that I'm guessing dates from the '80's. Bought it in a local private sale for $75 iirc. Decent sound, enough power for a small unmic'd gig. Only downside is that the connection between the speaker and amp is a little loose, and the loose bit is in the sealed-back cab. I can usually fix it by jiggling the top portion of the connector cable, but the vibration from playing shakes it loose again. Very frustrating.

I've found a cheap fix however. The reason it shakes loose is that there's only four small points of contact with the floor-- the casters. If you lay the amp on it's side where it's got a big space to disperse the vibration, it won't shake loose. Sounds crazy but works every time.

Re: My Vintage Amps
 

Is that a Sunn Sorado, 200S or Sceptre?

Either way... :love: :love: :love:

Re: My Vintage Amps
 

Yes, 200S, good call. Currently my main gigging amp.

Re: My Vintage Amps
 

This thread is great. It's really nice to see all these amps. And it looks like krashpad really is having lots of fun gigging. That's awesome!

Re: My Vintage Amps
 

Awesome, it's hard to tell between those 3 amps, they all look pretty much the same.

My next amp will most likely be a Model T. How's the 200S?

I used to own a Concert Lead, best SS amp I've ever heard.

Re: My Vintage Amps
 

I love the 200S, right up my street. 60W, which is right in the medium-range I love, single channel, ultra-simple amp.

The Model T, from what I've read, is much more a high-powered modern type tube amp.
