I have been exquisitely eyeing a new bass amp for mine own self. There is a large problem in that its two thh ow sand dollars.
Why is it that my toiling journey for finer and finer bass t o n e remains infinitely unceasing. Tone, like many people are listening anyway. Like its that necessary. Like I deserve to extinguish all of my earnings on one solitary item anyway (?). Like you or I will care in 10 years anyway. oh well.
I suppose for a few brief moments in time 25, hell-maybe-even-a-100 people will momentarily forget their existence and pay indubitable homage to a bass tone so pellucid that it defies the logic of the gods. or maybe I’ll be in debt for 6 months.

Here’s a few numbers I’ve been tasting:

Ampeg SVT-VR. This bad boy is my numero uno. This is a re issue of ampeg’s blue line bass heads. It’s supposed to replicate Ampeg’s original 300 tube watt to the T, same signal flow etc. All the reviews I’ve seen on this have been 10s. Haven’t yet played it, but if its anything like the orig’s, I’m sold. so yeah, i’m sold. literally.

Sunn Model T. 100 or 150 tube watts depending on which you gather. Not quite sure myself. I’ve heard these bells ring a several time. loud and vintage rock sound. I like it very much.

I hope to own one someday. Hopefully I won’t entertain courage and ask myself whether I truly neeed such expensive gear. That would be disastrous for my wants.
