I play through a silverface Bassman. Not exactly hi-fi bass LOL! That Bassman was my first bass amp,I got back in 1979 for $200.00. I left it in a apartment when I moved. :D The SVT was too heavy for me.Loved the tone and power though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
