Ever See A Nau Bass Amp?
 

Just picked this up, what an awesome ALL TUBE amp! To me it sounds like a pre-CBS Showman with a ton more power. John Nau builds some awesome amps, although he's mostly known for his hot-rod guitar amps.

265 Watts
6X6550 & 12AX7
Hammond Transformers
BIG Caps
DI & Tuner Out

Next time we play NY bring the amp and the Vadium!

Yes I have. He's a local guy (Rochester NY area) . Not only great amps but a good repair tech too, and a great bass player.

I like the looks of those big Hammond transformers! Dare I ask what he charges to build one of these?

Don't know but here is his contact info: http://nauengineering.com

The price all depends on what you want, every amp is built to order as per your specs........ but one like mine should run in the $1800 range. Not cheap but considering it's 100% hand built, as you want it, I think that's reasonable

I wanted to use one so badly in a local studio but unfortunately it was dead.

Buy it cheap and have John overhaul it!

John has been keeping my vintage tube gear running for almost 25 years now! Great guy and he builds amazing amps!

I like a lot of people have been patiently waiting for the new Mesa tube amps. I know Mesa won't miss me but no reason for one now. I ran a 400+ for a couple of years and this sounds better to my ears.

Can you get a shot of the inside?

Someone asked the weight of the amp....... 51#, not too bad.

Agree 100% on every point!

Wow! 1st time ever in my life someone agreed with me 100% on anything........... must be a good amp.:bassist:
