Have you tried the AC4 with a good bass cab yet? I have been wanting to try one.

| | | | I need to find a small bass cab and try the AV4. Sounds great with guitar I'm sure it'll sound good on bass. I'm just looking for a tube amp for the bedroom. |

It's probably the smallest tube bass amplifier that has a decent sound. Not usually as expensive as a B-15N.

| | | | So, I just plugged my AC4 into my old GK410RBH. One of the best bass tones I've heard. Especially with the new SB2 bass. |
