You can find the Acoustic 470 amp on eBay - rather cheap and my mistake is that is it is Solid State not tube (But sounds great!)

Re: Bass Tube Heads
The SVT is a classic tone, lots of guys get great sounds from them.
I prefer the Mesa because it really is the best combination of a something like SWR's clarity and bite with the girth and growl of an SVT. As with most Mesa gear, you can dial it from "warm and fat" to defined and dynamic punch. Awesome amp!

Im never prolly gonna get a tube bass head. 75lbs and tubes that break and fail a lot on the road? yikes. I need to save what is left of my back!! I went lightweight and got a 2x12 gallien that weighs under 40 pounds and is 500 watts, way too loud for small/medium gigs! I would go tube if recording though.
I have a line 6 modeler bass head that is 450 watts that has killer ampeg models for my 410HLF.

Re: Bass Tube Heads
Personally, I'd rather have SS watts for bass amplification. The bottom end is tighter and since I'm normally running about 950 watts on demand into my system, there's never a strain on the amp. At best, I pump about 400 into the cabs. A watt is still a watt, when you come right down to it.

Re: Bass Tube Heads
I nearly had a stroke when my bass player's SVT overheated and cooked itself.. that thing sounded absolutely awesome.. he eventually had it repaired, and it sits in his house now..
Since then he's had Gallien Krueger, SWR, Mesa, Aguilara (sp?), and now he's running a pair of 300w Fender Heads.. which sound great to my ears.. and is the simplest rig he's ever used

Re: Bass Tube Heads
Except all the Ampeg stuff is now made in Vietnam or some Southeast Asian country. So, craftsmanship maybe on the older models.
Seriously though, I'm surprised I'm the only Traynor owner here. The YBA200 is described by many as a "mini-SVT" sound. The build quality is top notch.
