Solidstate vs Tube

[THE HIPPIE]

For bass amps, w/c is better, the solidstate or tube?

 

[THE HIPPIE]

Are tubes overrated?

 

[Tim1]

At last something easy! Tubes win by a long shot. Next question please.

 

[rodl2005]

Only the frequency of CHANGING the tubes has been overrated

 

[john_g]

Yes

Good job Burningskies. That should keep anyone interested in the never-ending "tubes versus solid state saga" busy for a while.

Trolling

Trolling

That was my first reaction too. But then I noticed that the OP is new to TB (signed up Oct 2011), so maybe he just doesn't know what he asked (or perhaps he has been living in a cave for the past four decades). No prob.

And in case he hasn't heard, the Beatles broke up!

Amps are overrated. So are cabs. Basses too. Music as well. And what about pants?!? Sheesh, don't get me started on pants.

This.

 

[Oobly]

Want tube tone and compression and don't mind the weight? Get tube. Want headroom, accurate reproduction of signal and light weight? Get solid state.

I suspect troll thread.

Time to abolish the "search" functionality.

I prefer solid state amps.

 

[THE HIPPIE]

I prefer solid state amps.

Is it because of the tone?

 

[Oobly]

It's because of the carrots, actually.

I prefer all-oak amp housings with truetone spradgets on the input flanges, but nowadays you just can't get the wood you know.
