My rig is complete. 8 years in the making. Here in Australia these amps and cabs are super rare!

Took me a couple of years to find the HD130 and have only seen 4 others in the last 6 years.
I bought the first RH115 2 years after that and then just last month bought not one but two RH115s within a week of each other!

Sounds awesome! soooo vintage.

This is what I was going for. She stands almost as tall as me as the bottom cab is on castors. Its around 6' tall!

That is an awesome rig. From one HD130 owner to another.

Wow. When was that made?

Thanks man!

Not really gig-able as the are old worked 65 watt-ers but they sound great together at under half power.

I might take out the original speakers and pack them away and load in something more usable.

It has the 12AX7 tube so its mid 70s as are the cabs.

Wow! Nice. Congrats!

Are these amps tube pre & power? I've read some are tube power amp, with s.s.pre amp.

Cool setup! Makes me want to try my MM 65 through my vintage Carvin 15 (with JBL M151). I did let a friend try it (the MM) once briefly with his J through his Goliath Jr, sounded pretty cool, although I'm not a huge fan of the Fender style tone stack for bass.

Hey, they are solid state pre amp and valve power amp.
Absolutely blows my Fender Bassman 100 out of the water yet the tone is still awesome

Looks good!

KramerBassFan · #13 11-16-2011, 10:20 PM

Cool! I like the amps. I worked on one a little bit awhile back.

chillerthanmost · #14 11-16-2011, 11:34 PM

Great amps. Ultra sleepers.

shizoz · #15 11-17-2011, 12:33 AM

That's awesome, I have an HD130 as well that I love. Pair it with my ampeg 810 and it is solid gold! These amps are ultra sleepers, and usually pretty cheap considering the sound you get from them. I have a set of Mullards in mine.

Calaverasgrande · #16 11-17-2011, 12:59 AM

Wow nice rig indeed!
What kind of drivers are in those cabs?

thumpbass1 · #17 11-17-2011, 04:50 AM

SWEEEEEEEET! Nice rig.

They are the original 65w 15s. They sound awesome at low volume. I am thinking about taking the originals out and packing them away for recording etc and putting in something with a bit more power so i could gig with 'em
