Roccobass you're usually right on with the Amps but that MM BH-500 is a new reproduction of the original. Here's a Music Man 70's original.

I bought a Music Man One-Thirty head new in 1975 along with 2 15" speaker cabinets (one channel bass and one channel normal "guitar") that was created by Leo Fender and company since many guitar players used Fender Bassman heads back then. I still have the rig and the head travels with me as a back up amp that has saved me and my guitar player on gigs recently.

Here is a photo of me playing through the rig in August 1975.

I hauled 2 similar bass cabs up and down many flights of stairs, high stages, tiny stages… you all know the drill…but I loved the full power and feel of the bass! So did the dancers. Now of course I have had back surgery and the joys of tinnitus so just a warning to you newbies. Ha!

Huh?

You never hauled 2 refrigerator sized bass cabs all over creation in your youth? You missed out! What I can’t hear you…oh my back! Lol

I still have my Acoustic 370 bass head I bought new in 1976 but sold the 301 cabinet long ago. The 370 heads are great!

I currently play through an Acoustic B600H bass head like this one.

You know you're old if the top two lines of that ad copy called up the song in your head.

Ok, like the Ginger vs Mary Ann debate...
Which was you favorite frontier hero growing up...Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone?
(I'm more of Boone man, myself. Liked his theme song better.)

To be honest, I got them both confused. Throw Johnny Appleseed into the mix, and to me, it was all just a bunch of guys with questionable tastes in headwear.

Well, Fess Parker played both Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone on TV. I guess he could not decide which was his favorite frontier hero either.
