my general bass amp Q & A thread

[Seedy]

A Beta Bass head is more than enough to gig with, its loud as hell. I'd pay 3 bills for one.

I have a Sunn Concert head that I paid 200 bucks for in less than perfect shape about 5 years ago to replace the beta bass that I had to give back to the friend I borrowed it from. I dropped the concert and it stopped working but I just paid $150 to have it completely serviced, now other than the tolex and slightly worn face I have a perfectly functional Sunn Concert for a total of $350. It's loud as shit and just mean. Love it forever.

[rattler420]

what u guys think of this? rebuilt ampeg v4 w/ randall 2x12 for $800

I would jump all over that and flip the cab if he absolutely won't part them out (you might want to try offering him around 600 for the head). V4's are awesome.

oh & the cab is a 2x15 not 12's. im excited to go check it out now

[rattler420]

the guy with the beta head also has a concert lead guitar head. says he'll take 500 for both. damn these tough decisions

[Jero]

$500 for both isn't terrible

[rattler420]

i told him id take em both for 475 & he has agreed.

im still gonna check out the v4 as well, it might be one hell of a christmas

[D.o.S.]

475 for both those heads is a solid price in this inflated Sunn market.

[rattler420]

so the guy with the 2 sunn heads backed out of selling the beta. so that deal wont be happening.

stoked to check out the v4 tomorrow tho

Sunn is phenominal but once I got my Mesa bass 400+ i havent looked back.

So much definition and detail for a tube amp, flexable as fuck eq and no amp
takes pedals better

I have one too, I really love it, although for some occasions it is just too loud
But why are they out of production?

[rattler420]

well the randall 2x15 cab sounded pretty decent. i didnt turn the v4 past 5, but i think im gonna like it. the randall is huge, & wouldnt fit in my wifes elantra so im gonna pick it up tomorow. i couldnt get him any lower than $775, but i dont reckon its too bad a deal.
