    King of tube bass amps?

    Well, they certainly are not as tight as 10's!, but the head has that deep switch so you can pump some nice lows through them..I've had no trouble with detail (though I've not heard them with a speed metal fast alternate picking) I've noticed that a couple of players that use the VBA head are...

    Fender Slab Bass

    When we were putting it together, I had Mike listen (via you tube) to John Entwistle on the Who's So Sad About Us video (at the Marquee) and Ace Kefford on the Move's I Can Hear the Grass Grow vid.. He then had the Lindy Fralin pickup overwound, and used 500K pots instead of the 250k..The bass...

    Catalinbread WIIO

    I tested the 'Leeds' for about a week...I then bought the WIIO. I liked the fact that it reacts to how I play the strings...hard and it cookes.,soft and the WIIO backs off..Couldn't seem to get the same dynamics with the Leeds...

    Fender Slab Bass

    I had Mike Lull build me a slab precision...ash body and maple on maple neck...aggressive sound...the only difference is his headstock is not the fender headstock BUT the tone is AWESOME!

    Marshall VBA 400

    I've got the VBA..(took about 3 months to get in) I've also 2 VBC 4x12 Cabs (tho' I've only used one with the Marshall. - the castor collapsed the first day, so we've ordered Mesa Boogie castors (broader plate) so hopefully rectify that problem) So far I've just used it with a RIC (awesome)...

    Marshall VBA 400 Valve Bass Amp - anyone tried one?

    I have a VBA 400 and I think it is probably one of the best amps I've played..(I own and have owned Trace Elliot, Ashdown, Gallien Kruger RB400 and RB800...) I've played through Sunn, Ampeg, SWR, Eden, Fener, and all are terrific amps, but for me, the Marshall is the new king! My band mates...
