More data on the MM amp. $275 including 115 cab.
Like be here participating....
Well given that this is my last week of freedom before two weeks of jury duty then the start of school, probably I'd better polish off the outdoor projects, but yes, priorities....
Can't let you guys have all the pun
Oy!
I have the Musicman HD150 from the late 1970’s or early 1980’s. It’s a fantastic hybrid amp with a SS preamp and a tube power section. It runs a solid 150+ watts (pretty much as loud as my 400 watt SS amp) and power can be cut in half (down to 75 watts) with the flip of a switch on the front panel. Built solid as a rock, not as heavy as my SVT-VR but no light weight either. Sounds great, fairly clean when needed but overdrive can be dialed in as well.
Never played the 65 or any of the recent releases but there is a MM Amp club on TB where you could probably get more questions answered.

If that price includes the cab - Grab It!
Haven't played one, but heard a few. They sounded good and generally got good reviews. That's a great price.
IIRC those music man 115 cabinets were loaded with JBL — D140's. Could be wrong though.
not financially, and they aren’t readily available from Epiphone either.
Better to save for a Vintage Pro / 60s Thunderbird (whichever name is in vogue).
Or look for an Embassy to get the same gear in a different shaped bass for less money
Does anyone have any experience with Laney or Fame bass amps?
