New amp day! (vintage content)

[Spleenface92]

So, my friend just gave me this amp, a 1972 Sonax 530B bass amp. It's a 20 watt solid state amp, but it's got a nice sound.

Sonax was a subsidiary of Gretsch, according to the internet and the backplat.



And a nice pic with my Rickenbacker. Nice retro looking combo.

Love it! Should make a great little practice amp for you.

Hah, I already have an acoustic 260 Mini Stack for that. Maybe I can join an indie band now...I kinda look like scott pilgrim

The backplat says Distributed by Gretsch. Gretch was a Division(subsidiary) of Baldwin. Bit of a
difference.

Possibly made by Traynor/Yorkville.
