Re: my rig - pics
no its a tube. its 4X12ax7 and 4Xel84. its the first generation vintage club 30 (i think?). the best way to describe it really is fender cleans and marshall crunch, ask anyone who owns one (afew guys here have 50 watt or later versions, i think one is for sale on the trading post) i read somewhere basically crate took a vox ac30 tube/speaker (alnico) layout, made the clean channel a copy of an early fender, and made the gain channel a copy of marshal plexi or similar, added spring reverb (ithink?), effects loop, and sold it. later models have onboard effects. though i like mine the way it is
the bass, well brownsville around here is the samash in store brand (made in china). for 100 bucks, i couldnt resist, good looks especially the headstock, decent tone (that can be fixed somewhat), and it *remarable* stays in tune and is nearly perfectly intonated, and it plays super well. Im assuming the body and neck are made out of sawdust or its gonna fall apart in a month, because it almost seems to good to be true.
fftopic: do forgive.
