My vintage Hiwatt 400. It's quite punchy and loud.

Cool! I used to drool on the catalog (I mean catalogue) page of that amp! What cabinet is it sitting on?
Cab is a mid-70s Hiwatt 2x15 with Eminence Kappa Pros. I'm trying out different 8x10 cabs, however. So far, the SWR Megoliath is the winner. Hiwatts are a bit picky with speakers, and the original 15" Hiwatt Fane bass speakers are near impossible to find. The 400 amp is rather rare, too. It took me years to find one for sale outside of Europe.BillyB_from_LZ said:
Hers my current rig, allows for very smug load in/outs when you just pick em up and stroll off!
Two rigs here; MB 210P combo and an Ashdown Little Bastard pushing the Carvin 15in cab. Also use the Carvin cab with the combo when I need "extra...."
One of these days I'll get a better 15in cab, but, the Carvin sounds pretty good for what I use it for.

Really want to pick up one of those Zoom B9.1ut's. How do you like yours?

Hey all,
New to TB...and Bass for that matter. Been a 6 string player for years, and always wanted a bass, but everytime i had spare cash...it always went to another 6 string.
But finally got myself a bass and amp. I was pretty excited about the amp find...craigslist...10 min drive...and 50 bucks later i ended up with this little gem.
Its got some cosmetic issues, and i think the driver was replaced at one point. But it works great. With a little TLC im pretty sure i couldnt have gotten a better combo for 50 bucks. Ill probably never gig with it. Just use it at home to learn bass and maybe do some studio recording. Watcha think?

As a fellow V4BH owner, I commend you on your choice of ampage! How does the 4x10 / 1x15 cab combination work for you?
