FS: Sound City Bass 150

jwindham · #1 08-09-2011, 02:54 PM

Up for sale is a Sound City Bass 150 head from 1974. It is in amazing shape, hand-wired, and was recently retubed/recapped with KT100s. Asking price is $1200 plus shipping/OBO! This head is more like 200 tube watts, and comes with a padded LeCover for protection. This is a great tube head-very loud and punchy- especially with a sealed cabinet!

Hi there,

The Sound City to me really does the fat, punchy rock sound very well. It has really nice response, and sounds especially great with a sealed cabinet. I would recommend a 215 with JBL k140s for a great old rock tone.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am lowering the asking price to $900 plus shipping (apx $40). Pricing this to sell. Anyone looking for a vintage point to point British amplifier, this one is in great shape. It is running Valve Art KT100s, and is essentially 200 watt tube amplifier.

Oh man! I had one of these back in the day--killer amp!
A bit "Hiwatt-esque" IMO (I bought it BECAUSE I couldn't afford a Hiwatt and was a big Wetton-head at the time).
Cool amp!

I had this exact head back in the 70's. I bought it new for $100. damn wish I still had that head.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Sound City Head is still available.
