Has anyone ever seen a Hyland B-100 like this?

Bought a 1978 Precision Bass on Craigslist yesterday and the seller insisted the amp had to go with it. Last thing I need is another amplifier, but this one has a pretty high cool factor. Can't find anything on the Web

I’ve never seen one, don’t know the history either.

Looks really cool but never seen one. None of the cool kids play through the “normal” channel.

I’d buy it off ya if you lived closer.

So maybe there is a similar looking Garnet?

So, how does it sound? Looks minty fresh.

I was going to say.. .it looks like a late-stage Garnet amp. Probably pretty clean, but probably quite voiced.

I like the Atomic Age vibe with the graphics.

...enquiring minds want to know!

"The best way to know for sure is to look for the CSA (Canadian Standards Association) label. If the code "LR24510" appears beneath it then it is indeed a Garnet. This is a manufacturer's reference code and will appear on any amp made by Garnet regardless of the brand it may have been sold under."

Mystery Amp!

Open the door!

Will it be a dream!

Or a dud!

They got one thing right for sure: Note that it has a 'Bass' channel, and then, the 'Normal' channel. Obviously built by a great observer of the Human Condition.

I was just looking at that amp and wondering the same thing.
@jsutton1988 Please let us know how it goes!

That thing is so cool looking it almost doesn’t matter how it sounds. Almost.
