Amp Suggestion - Fender SB is done!

[tflk]

Just found out from my tech that my Fender Super Bassman is toast. I don't want to get into the whole reason as to why - but I'm now in the market for a new amp. I don't think I want to go with tubes due to not being able to get them real easy these days.

Any SS amps out there that come close to Bassman sound?

Curious as to what tube lovers are using without using an all-tube amp.

I can spend up to $2000.00

Take a look at the Hartke LH1000 Or just play with one you may LIKE IT.

The Ampeg Heritage 50th anniversary SVT is what I ordered as my tube amp. It hasn’t arrived yet though. Definitely recommended playing one they are sweet sounding.

Fender makes the Bassman 800, which is the preamp from the SB with a class D power section.

I was looking at the Bassman 800 - might give that a go. Thank you!

I've heard good things about the Rumble heads. No experience though.
I'm using my Genz Benz Streamliner for tube sounds.

Also look at the Mesa TT800, which uses a passive Tone stack in the Boogie channel and may have a lot of similarities. Which channel do you use most of the time?

I use the OD channel most of the time. I don't dial in a lot of OD. I have played through another Mesa - I'll take a closer look at the TT800 - thank you
