Silvertone 1483 amp

**TRichardsbass** · #1 07-12-2011, 05:53 AM

Hey all, lots of love for the tubes, and with Jess Oliver's passing a lot of discussion about the SB-12, B-15 and B-18 Portaflex's.

Anyone out there have a Silvertone 1483? Better yet, anyone with a few sound clips? I'm currently on the lookout for one to use in the recording studio, and believe it or not, I have never owned one of these.

Help?

I have one of these, it's a great little amp. never thought to make solo clips but have recorded with it.

Back in the day I never found a Silvertone that didn't sound great on guitar, and never found one that sounded good on bass, including the 1483. It certainly is no B15. For recording it might be OK.

Silvertone, yes I had one many many years ago !! It had (4) inputs for a whole band but not for bass..........For bass get yourself a Standel Amp,if you can find one.......
