I get the sound right after about five minutes. This was fun. I'll probably do it again, and maybe even provide some useful information, or not, as the case may be.
This is the mating together of my Vintage Hofner 457/se 2 Archtop with a Pignose G40V all valve amp. Similar Tube configuration to the Tweed Bassman ~ 3x12AX7 and 2x6L6 ~ it even has a 10" speaker! Same 40 loud watts, but tamed by the inclusion of a gain control so you can get breakup at comfortable levels. A further beauty of this highly portable little amp (24Lbs), is that it allows for either an 8 or 4 ohm output so you can drive a 4x12 easily. These are such good amps for the money I fail to understand why so few have picked up on them ~ afterall, Pignose has a rich history and many top bands and users have been thankful both live and in the studio for its famous 7-100 battery amp that is an incredible pre-amp option. However, this does as good as a job as a driven Bassman, but at usuable levels ~ trust me I KNOW! No pedals, or editing - straight into Canon Powershot A75 and Windows Movie Maker.
