Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Surf Bass (Amp)

I think the last show pics I saw had Sam using a
Showman head, which I imagine he'd have to have dimed
to keep up with Dick. Fortunately bass amplification
has come a long way since the 60's. I think that as
long as you can get a pretty decent vintage-y bass
sound out of it pretty much any amp will work. You'll
always have more volume and cut than the lowenders did
in the old days. I personally found a used Mesa
Boogie Buster head (now discontinued) which is
basically a Bassman clone loaded with 6L6's. At 200
watts it's a beast.
