Which big bottle tube amp?

[TTA]

just add some alt ideas:

- second matching cab for more efficiency and volume
- yba300

The plot thickens. Found a USA SVT-VR coming in at a few hundred dollars less than I have been able to find, in excellent shape.

So, would you jump on one of these for about 1900 out the door, or try and hold out for a 50th?

Also, the 50th I found wasn't clear in the listing, but it is local pickup only. So not an option unfortunately.

No opinion of the various SVT iterations but while you're shopping you might add a Fender Studio Bass head to your list. That through a 212AV is one of the best sounds I've ever gotten with a P bass. They don't up often but if you do see one it's worth checking out. 6x 6L6 power section, loud and clean with an interesting set of EQ controls. If I'm not mistaken Pino used one on his first Who tour.

No love on here for the SVT CL Heritage?
