Agreed! I think you'll be fine with 400 tube watts and 2 8x10's live. Hopefully..... :lol:

Dude I didn't know you were into the thrashier side of life? Nice one! Distorted thrash bass is my favourite sort of bass. Sexy amp + thrash tones = :animal:

I would love to hear those. If the tones in the Kidcrash stuff are any indicator, I'm sure it sounds amazing.

I uploaded a few samples Alex sent me. He wanted me to note that they were quick and informal recorded through a ampeg 4x10 with a stereo recorder a few feet away from the amp.

Yea, that OD sounds great. Perfectly nasty. You can probably boost it and crush skulls. Bass through that and a 2x15 is gonna sound fantastic. I'd run a 2x12 too with a pair Delta Pro 12a's, would rule!

Just double checked my email and you sir are correct. :thumb:

Also, there's an $85 upcharge on both the Decolonizer and Street Sweeper if you go with the KT88 power section. And like $40 or so if you prefer a stained birch front/rear panel.
