What was your first amp (old guys only) Pt 2

[west al]

My first bass amp was a Kent Combo in late 1968. I bought it from a friend. Two 12's, and it weighed a ton. Or least it felt like it any way. It wasn't that great, but it got me started until I got into a Traynor head, and home built 2X12 cab.

My amp history, from the old days, sorta:
Univox ss head and 115 cab
B15
Bassman 10
Bassman 100
SVT/810

that gets me into that 80's, and a nearly endless train of stuff since.

My first legitimate amp was also a Univox but a tube head, I think it was kind of like a B-15 rip,.... I mean copy, I don't even remember what it looked like except it had one 15" and wasn't loud enough for a band. My first good amp was a 1967 Fender Dual showman I bought in 1970. I probably already posted in this thread but......well you know how us old guys are.

My first amp was an Acoustic Control Corp 136 Bass Combo.

I had one of those too. I pulled the head out and built a head case (my one and only experiment with home-baked crinkle paint LOL) and used it with a 402 cabs for many years and gigs!

It was a great combo amp... grateful for my parents who bought it for me when I started my first high school band. I have photo of me playing my first gig with it somewhere... I'll have to unearth it and post it.
