Post by Josh »

1x15 "bass amp" of the silvertone series. needs a 3 prong cord (easy fix?) not much hum at all. stokedddd. calling this dude tomorrow.

thanks! it's meant to be I think. I've been hunting for one of these foreverrrrr. came up for 450 really close to me. deleted the ad and posted it again for 400. just got income tax and could sell my hot rod deluxe to make my money back.

wonder how much it'll cost to service. dude said it just needs a 3 prong and my uncles an electrician wonder how much to pay him or to take it to a shop.
these things are bassman killers and the trem and verb aren't that great on the 1484 anyway. also dig the 1x15.

SOUNDS AWESOME TOO.
60s garage rock tones. good cleans great breakup. sounds really good dry and you guys know I love my reverb.
both channels sound nice.
this thing loves pedals too. can't wait to get it properly grounded so I don't die. lol
everything's original as well. SO SIXTIES EVEN SMELLS OLD. dude that sold it grew up in my neighborhood in the 60s and had crazy stories about dudes on acid being nuts up my street. dude was a gent. trying to move Colorado so he's clearing house.
was very adamant about changing that power cord so that's gonna happen soon. also advised I install a jack for the speakers so I could separate the head and cab.
dude was using a variable voltage device like my ecig has to run it with to slowly bring it up to power, said it eliminates a shit ton of wear and tear from firing them up. need to get one of those. had it warmed up and ready when I got there.
really clean for its age too. hope the pics do it justice. sounds awesome with the jag and jazz. once my Tele gets wired up I'll test it with that too.

hot rod deluxe will be up for sale shortly to fix the dent I just put in my savings today.

that being said, here's a couple pictures:
► Show Spoiler
sounds great with all my guitars, and my bass. has a really natural sound, and a great overdrive when you jumper the channels. bout to get that 3 prong wired in this week.
