WEM Dominator

[TwelveGauge-GT]

I plugged mine in the other day and it sounded great, just with my crappy squier bass!! Great vintage tone, well it probably would have since it actually is vintage...

I remember those!! :fing2:

They were quite common here in the UK when I started playing guitar ('74). Nice amps. Some of the later models were solid state IIRC, but the tube ones sounded great!

Is yours like these?.... http://britamps.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/watkins/dominator/dom2.html

Re: WEM Dominator

Is the Dominator the model from whence the Marshall 18 Watter was, uh... borrowed? I had a pic of an older turquoise-vinyl Watkins around here somewhere, but I can't find it...

Yeah, it's a mk III. It's a tube and somewhat beefier and looks older thaan the ones on that page, bigger speaker aswell I reckon. Mine says 100 watt on the back:smack:

Re: WEM Dominator

If I remember correctly there was a twin speaker model that had a V shaped cab that had a circuit very similar to the Vox 15 watt models. A number of the British invasion bands used them in the early days.
