Not mine, but if I needed the volume, I wouldn't hesitate! http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-MUSICMAN-MUSIC-MAN-112-RD-100-BLONDE-CLEAN_W0QQitemZ280129133980QQihZ018QQcategoryZ118983QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Top

The earlier "sixty-five" and "one-thirty" amps that use the 12AX7 in the phase-inverter are the ones to have. Top

I assumed it was the same basic design... Nope, only the early el34 models (sixty-five/one-thirty) have the tube phase inverter, the newer ones ('bout '75 on) have a solid-state phase inverter and they tend to be overly bright and harsh. I play through a "sixty-five" 1-12 right now, I've owned a couple of them over the years and they are great sounding amps. I modded the reverb tank by swapping springs and transformers until I got a sound I liked. Used to be able to buy 'em for $175-$250, now a good one will run you $400 which is still a bargain. Top

Nah forget the musicman bass/guitar rigs get yourself into a BF Bassman head or even better for bass and killer is a Showman, Slacktone's bass player plays through a BF Showman through a 4x10 Ampeg bass cab and let me tell ya that thing rumbles with killer lows nice mids tight all around — -Kyle Beyond The Surf YouTube channel Beyond The Surf Instagram The Verbtones @ Instagram The Verbtones @ Facebook The Verbtones @ bandcamp Top
