    When I first bought that amp I was 15 years old and didn't have a license. Me and my best friend pushed that amp from the music store three miles to our drummer's house on its casters. This included pushing it up the biggest hill in town. After that, I gigged with that amp for years. Seeing it wasn't heavy enough I paired it with a 4x12 Ampeg V4. The open back/closed back combo was not by design but it sounded great and loud as heck. Lots of bloom from the Fender and plenty of thump from the V4.

      There is acoustic tile throughout the basement and carpet on the floors. It sounds pretty good down there.

        Bruce, if you decide to sweeten or mitigate (for the Greek Princess) the sound where you're rocking down there -glad to give guidance..... it's part of my jerb

          Work up to it.

          Actually, I'm working DOWN. When I was young and strong I had a Fender 400PS head (435 watt tube amp, 135 watts per channel, 3 transformers, 3 spkr outlets) and 3 lg very solid (and heavy) spkr cabs each with 2 JBL 15" D130's. The head and the cabs weighed about 70 lbs each. I carried one in each hand for balance. I'll never forget one gig I did at an old college with no elevators...I carried that rig up two stories to the third floor via a very narrow zig-zaggy staircase. Now, it's pushing a 2x12 cab on a moving dolly to the elevator...that's enough for me (Supers or AC30s are out of the question).

            I appreciate it. That area is more for casual jamming and practicing so I don't need to do too much down there. My girlfriend loves to listen to me play so I can crank all day long, and she enjoys it. I guess I am lucky in that regard. And as big as those amps are I rarely push them full tilt in the house. Most of my in-house jamming is the 13-watt Fender Excelsior or my Peavey Classic 20 on the 5-watt setting.
