So A couple months ago I started a thread to get some information and peoples thoughts on building my own amp/preamp. I've done some research and plan to build my bass head if all goes well with this build.
This is an 8 watt(per channel) stereo tube amp. I originally bought it as a kit but i'm straying from the instructions. I'm ditching the PCB and I'm hand wiring it all. Also It just came with a board to mount all the components on but i'm building a case. I would post the schematic but due to copy right restrictions I don't think i can... But here's a link to the kit i'm using. I've read pretty good things about it so far.

I have a little experience with soldering and such so I thought this would be a good starting point. Rather then jumping into the 300 watt tube bass amp I'm wanting to build(i'm using the schematic of a 70's Ampeg SVT with the 6550's). My dad has built amplifiers and radios so he's helpin me out. Anyways, thought some people might be interested... here's some pics...
here's the base. before we had anything mounted on it except the little frame that the top mounts to.
Here's the base with the chassis cut and the power transformer mounted
And here's what its going to look like when its done... plus a volume knob on the front and a possible vent on top
Thoughts? suggestions? I'm still looking for speakers any suggestions would be nice. They need to be 8 ohm.
