Hey guys. Just an update. My local (well respected) MM engineer told me that he wanted to put KT77 valves in my HD 130. He said they where warmer sounding then the EL34 and better for bass.

Hey that might be a good idea... I'm takeing my Musicman to a tech soon. But I actually have my eyes set for a Hiwatt dr 103, 100 watts. I hope the seller is in for an amp switherooo. But I really don't think so. The dr 103 runs in 4 ohms. How are those with bass? Any experiences with it...

A LAB L-4 amp. I thought i had made a scoop, giving only 200 dollars for it. But it sounded like absolute C-R-A-P. Sorry LAB fanboys - but you know i'm right... I tried it only once with my band and sold it after a couple of weeks. It sounded like a cardbord box with a rubber band in it -...

I will have to use my Musicman HD 130 for now...

Hey Mohawk. I'll consider that. And yes you are right. I want to use it with my ampeg svt 410 hlf. Daern it, I should have bought B410 HLF it runs in 8 ohms i believe... Thanks!

Hey thanks a lot for the replys. It's actually a 1980s Hiwatt build for guitar - works okay for bass. I haven't been able to find much info about it on the interwebs. The impedence selector only has 8 or 16 ohms. It has a overdrive stage - thus the name Lead 100 i guess. I read some where that...

Hey... Filled in my profile... Well i was thinking of changeing the impedence of my Hiwatt lead 100 amp. Its running in 8 or 16 and i need it to run i 4 ohm. I know it isn't possible...

Hey John. Thanks a bunch for the info. I'll take the HD 130 to a pro repairman for tube refitting. Untill then I will run it on the low setting. Again... thank you!

Ha ha... Touché.

I love this.... keep ranting guys!!

Hello fellow bass nerds. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the required resistance of a vintage tube amp? I know it's a long shot and that fiddeling with your beloved amp is a bad idea - in most cases. Does any of you have experience with such a procedure? Peace! Jeppe Copenhagen...

Hey everyone. Thanks for the info. I just got a MM HD 130 and i tested it with my ampeg SVT 410 HLF running in 4 ohms. When I set the amp in high mode it started to "clip" at low volumes. It sounded like a high pitched clipping noise. I then ran the amp in low mode and i actually couldn't...

Hey. I recently bought a LAB L4 200 watt amp (cheap). I wan't to buy a new cab probably an Ampeg SVT 4*10 HLF and i need to know what impedence the amp was designed for. I believe it was "bundled" with a 2* 15" cab originally - propably running at 4 ohms. I believe the LAB's where produced...

Yeah i know... I'm just not shure about what impedence the amp was designed for. Some people write 8 ohm and others 4. But if i could test it out with different cabs i might be able to hear it. With the "destroying that cab" somment, i ment to open it and rewire it. But thank's for the heads up.

Hey thank's for the quick reply. Nice of you guys! Looks like i need to test the amp out rather then destroying a good cab. Guess ill drag my amp down to the local music shop and test it out on a 4 ohm cab. I Found L4 cheap so it's mostly a "fun" buy... Sadly theres not much info on it on the...
