    If you own one of these, I would appreciate a review. It's nothing I need, but the price sure looks enticing. They have a separate head available as well as a combo. I used to have a Fender bassman long ago but foolishly got rid of it for a higher powered piece of junk.

    Now I have some nice solid state stuff but wouldn't mind something like this if it works well.

    Specs:
    The B-100V uses 6 tubes (2 - 12AX7A's and 4 - 6L6GC's) and features a 15" speaker and 100 watts RMS/200+ watts of peak power. Front panel controls include volume, treble, mid, bass, and presence. Special cabinet construction keeps the B-100V rattle-free and ensures a properly-tuned speaker chamber.

    What do y'all think?

    notduane has one of the heads, and IIRC he likes it a lot.

    Sorry fellers -- Thursday's "grocery" night :p

    Here's a brief review I did a while back -- click

    It looks like "Dr Music" still carries`em. That's where
    I got mine (free ground shippin').

    (click the pics ;) )

    It really ain't bad for a "first effort" at all-tube for Pignose.
    Ya' cain't beat the price. I DO wish they'da put in a Master
    Volume. At 100 watts, it'll do for small gigs and jammin'.
    Runnin' it through a SWR Workingman 2x10T (200W) gives
    some solid punch and "pop" (not that kinda' pop - dynamicals).
    I guess I'm spoilt -- Ampeg B15, a Mesa Buster and D-180 head.

    I swear! I'll stop at two Aguilars and two...Demeters?
    Dang! Havin' that double's gonna' be like buyin' for twins :p .
