I'd love one, but if I were touring, I'd be wary. I know Brian from Russian Circles has had tubes blow and had wiring issues with his on this past tour.

+1 for v4's

ive had one for a couple months now & it pretty fucking rad. also like said, guitar & bass both sound good through it. i paid $800 for mine & it came with a 2x15 cab. just a randall cab, but all was in good working order. was also recapped & tubed like 5 years ago.

you can find V4s for $600 plus shipping all day.

I think he's in australia...

But yeah, V4, Peavey makes their 200 watt tube head (blanking on the name) which, like everything else Peavey makes, has absolutely no resale value. Traynor has one like that too. Those are the ones that go for 6-700 new, so the used market should be less than that. Look for old Sovteks and old Peaveys too (Their 80's Butcher is a Marshall JCM800 clone that absolutely rips).

when in doubt V4

or use a redbear as a bass amp. seriously good tones for da cheapz
