MusicMan HD150 head, Chassis # 2100 150 CAN, Serial # A006072
With: 2 1/4" speaker jacks; 4/8 ohm impedance switch; Ground switch, Normal & bass channels; Bright/normal and deep/normal rocker switches; High/low/standby toggle switch; the usual array of volume high-mid-bass knobs. Comes with 4 Groove Tube 6L6s.
My best guess is this was built sometime between 1980 and 1983.
The amp is in pretty good condition for something that's been in steady use for better than 25 years. Some of the exterior hardware has rust, and there's a small cut in the tolex on the right front side. No cigarette burns, no drink rings.
Right now, I'm running it through an Avatar B410 Neo, and the sound is big, warm, and punchy, and in most of the venues I play around Asheville it works great. The occasional amp geek comes up to quiz me about it. (Mostly, "Gee, when was that built?")
I'm looking at some outdoor work this summer, and I'm thinking I need to go bigger than 150 watts. I would just hang on to the HD150, but I can't really afford it.
As I write this, there is an
HD130 on Ebay for $595. Is that a realistic price?
Thanks all.
