Hey it's a bass amp question, but at least it's audio related, right?
I love Ampegs, my drummer (who is actually a pretty good bass player)
is looking to get a nice amp, he's into more of a classic "buttery
tone".
I told him for cheap to check out the B100R "rocket" combos and he
said it was cool, the tone he was looking for but he wants something
louder.
He likes my B2R a lot, but I was thinking for him, maybe a V4BH would
be kinda cool. Given that a B2R runs about $500, plus a rack for it,
he'd be within $200 of a V4BH.
Now those heads are rated at 100 watts, but given it's a tube amp
(power section is four 6L6's) and an Ampeg I'd think that thing has a
ton of balls.
I mean an SVT, at 300 watts will wipe the floor with my B2R which is
rated at 350 watts, so I'd think that a V4BH would be loud enough for
him.
I'm just looking for people's experiences with this head, as knowing
what my buddy is going for tone wise, I think a tube amp with 15"
speakers is what he really needs.
