Sound City Bass 150

It makes me sad to let this amp go, but I just have way too many. On a major purge right now.
No trades unless you have a Trace Elliot V4/V6 or a Traynor YBA-1A.

1974. Serial # is intact.
Mint Pre-Hiwatt, all tube, 150 bass watt head. Very clean, recapped and retubed, 3-prong cord, amazing. $850.
Some pics from the last seller:

If you do a search on TB you'll find more pics and info about this specific unit, I believe it is the only one fully documented on TB.

I'm looking for $850 + shipping (I've had good luck shipping heavier amps like a V4 via FedEx, never had any problems and the rates are reasonable $50-$90).

DAMMMMMM....always wanted one of these since I saw Tom Petersson with a stack of em. I got no room for it, but lots of love for it. Bump.

Time warp condition bump, wow!

I too remember Cheap Trick in the club days. I got schooled watching Mr. Petersson cranking a T Bird through a plie of HiWatt and Sound City heads. Nothin' like it!

yeah, IMO, these are GREAT bass heads. i love mine, and its in pretty good shape too (see pic below). for $850, i think its well worth his asking price. and they're built really well too. i'm running Valve Art KT100's in mine and it feels like a 200-250 watt tube head as far as output volume goes.
