Stevos is looking to downsize in weight a bit and would like some suggestions from the members of this forum for an AMP head. I gotta say in the short time I’ve been here, I’ve learned a bunch from everyone’s input on the various threads.
Although my speaker cab issue has been resolved as I’ve pulled the trigger on a Glasstone “Lil G”, I currently have;
2 X 15 horn cab which is homebuilt from an Altec-Lansing design (from a print, 4-ohm, horns are low) using two Sunn Tranducers from the late 70’s era (when I built it). It’s ugly, but glued and screwed with “real” A-D 3/4” plywood (also from the era) and doesn’t rattle. Weighs a ton......And an Ampeg SVT-410HE cab which does wonderful but weighs 91pounds!
My AMP is an Acoustic 140 head I bought new in `77. It’ll drive everything above but it is big and heavy with no direct out due to the era.
Stevos is north of 60 and the “91 pounds”, “weighs a ton”, and “heavy” mentioned above make a difference. I play church and secular gigs (jazz/rock/blues) with a M/Man 5string Stingray, Ric 4003 (1990) and a `77 Gibson T/bird. Back in the day I played a Gibson EB-3L because that’s what Andy Fraser played!
I’m leaning toward a Ampeg PF500, GK MB500, a Kustom KXB500 and anything else anyone can throw up there to look at as I've been out the market for a while.
Much thanks for your help!
