Hi-fi into an old tube amp | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Albuquerque, NM | | | Mesa Buster Bass... somewhat high powered (180w), not super small or light in 2x10/1x15 configurations. There aren't tons of small tube combos that I can think of.

Any way you decide to go, make sure the amp is in good working order and that you can get tubes. Some obscure tubes are hard to find and expensive. Keep it simple.

It is believed there may have been as few as 500 made. But when you do find them they go from 350 to 500 bucks. Like I said there is one here now for 350. Anyone who would like to test drive mine in the Cincinnati area pm me. |

Endorsing: J Worrell Bass | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Dayton OH | | | I advocate the Bassman 20, Boogie Buster, and B-15. I own 2 of the 3 right now and Fuzzie's 20 was nothing to scoff at through his Kustom 215. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Aurora, Indiana | | | Thanks! The B15 is awsome. And that SB12 I had was awsome. But the Bassman 20 is just a completely different animal! And they are so cheap used for a point to point hand wired amp! |

If you really want small there's that Monique preamp thing, seems just right for recording. Spendy though. |
