There's a new amp company on the block. I have no affiliation with them, other than they are from the same town as me. http://www.newvintageamps.com/
They started out doing guitar amps & cabs. Now, they're developing a 4x10 bass cab and an all-tube bass head. No clips of the head yet, but here's a vid of the 4x10: YouTube - ‪New Vintage Amps 4x10 Bass cab demo‬‏
I think it sounds tasty  |

I don't suppose there's a price yet? Based on the prices of the guitar amps on their site, I'd guess at least $2500.
