Earth Super Bass... Decent?

Seems a cool 70s Peavey ripoff. I can get one for $140 tonight. Worth it as a backup head or not?

It's like this one:

I bought one cheap in the late '70s...I didn't really like it, but it worked weel enough for a rehearsal space amp.

Cool and yeah... It's not going to replace my SVT, but it'll be nice to have in a pinch.

Get it my dad had one with the cushion on it like a Kustom amp and I always wish we still had it now that I am a bass player myself.

Talked him down to $120, but it needs some work... Loose input jack and the cord is unravelling a bit. I know... No pics, no amp but I took it to my tech to fix some stuff. Hopefully have it back in a week or so.

Both easy fixes.

Decent price for a Peavey knock off.

I love the "graphic equalizer" section......it's a parametric equalizer not a graphic equalizer!

It doesn't look parametric at all.

Earth amps makes some good stuff. My friend played through an Earth tube head last weekend and when the tubes weren't acting out it was pretty sweet.
