Looking for a classic tube bass amp?
I own a fender deville 212 and a vox ac30 for my guitar playing needs. I also have a B2R ampeg bass head and an ampeg B-410HLF. I am looking for a bass amp that has a similar look and sound to my other guitar amps. I like the way the fender 59 Bassman looks, but some have said that it doesn't have much power. Does anyone know of an amp that has the look of the bassman, and the warm tube sound I am looking for? I have played a bass guitar through a fender reverb twin and I loved the way it sounded, but I know that the reverb twin isn't geared for bass. Thoughts?

The classic tube bass amp IS the Ampeg. The SVT models are world renown for awesome tone. Although they do not really resemble the Fender bassman. If it is a bassman "style" amp you are looking for than you might want to check out the Acoustic line of bass amps. There older tube models do resemble the Fender in looks and sound. Unfortunately the newer models are predominantly solid state amps. P.S. the bassman makes a great guitar amp too! Many players really dig the sound of a cranked up bassman. Be careful running a bass through any guitar amp, that is a good way to blow out the amp.

i'm telling you perfect now, do no longer pay attention to a pair of those people who have replied this question. the two they do no longer understand what they are speaking approximately, or they are giving suggestion to spend to plenty. I had an identical subject approximately 6 months in the past. i've got had Crate, Fender, Peavey's, Marshals, Line 6's and Laneys. and then approximately 6 months in the past, i became without an amp, so I did a good type of examine this time. in lots of instances I in simple terms jumped in and offered in spite of became in demand or what appeared cool, or i assumed the extra I spent the extra effective the amp. Now that i'm older, and wiser, i in my view do examine now on my amps and guitars etc., i in my view chosen the hot Peavey Vypyr. it rather is optimal for each little thing. You tube: Mathias Arp Peavey Vypyr adventure, he shows each of categories etc. i in my view think of you will savour it, i understand i like my amp. I used to hate Peavey, yet i in my view love the Vypyr. I have been given my 30 watt that's analog, which places out an identical ability as a common seventy 5 watt. It sells type new for 2 hundred.00. seventy 5 watt is 3 hundred.00 verify it out.
