Thread: Rock N Roll Gearheads

The old tube high wattage amps were beasts. I built a Sunn 2000s 120 watt bass head for my brother, the transformers are massive, just the head is about 50 lbs. On the other side of the spectrum I made a 1/4 watt guitar amp that is plenty loud in the house. I played it once with a drummer, had to turn it all the way up but it worked and would sustain forever at full volume.
Now days my brother doesn't even use a bass amp on stage, he just plugs into the PA and uses in ear monitors, no more massive stack to haul around.
