Whatchoo got going on there with that "MyWatt" head? What's under the hood?

I'll take a MYWATT 400 please, along with a roadie to schlep it around for me. 8)

They look really nicely built.

I have the most kickass all tube bass head: a Trace Elliot V6 with 6 KT88s, sounds amazing, but I have to admit that I feel a little cheesy that it's a Trace. No lime green anywhere, I swear, but I have often thought of putting it in a black head box. I have a HIwatt cab, so it would sort of imply Hiwatt without actually putting a Hiwatt badge on the head.

...at least the cabinet is a "one hand carry on" item! :lol: :lol: :lol:
No jokin', it weights less than the amp! :shock: There are Eminence delta neodyn speakers in it and the closure is light birch wood. Sounds like a tank doin' 80!!! :mrgreen:

Mywatt are known to be Hiwatt clones built with German grundlichkeit (instead of the English variant of this). FMC cabs get good reviews too over here in Europe. Built in Germany as well. I'll order a 2 x 12" someday.

Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 12.0 thru a Genz Benz Uber 4x10 cab. Simply put, a hi-fi rig for a hi-fi bass. It is a very transparent setup that allows all the character of my Rics to come thru nice and clear. I'm set... well a Uber 2x12 would be okay to add! :D

While I would love to have a big Ampeg Rig I don't really have the need at this time. When I play out it's usually smaller type Venue's + I'm primarily a Guitarist who plays Bass in addition to Guitar.

I got tired of lugging big Amps & have scaled down my Guitar & Bass Amps. Recently I bought a new Gallien Krueger MB210 Neo Bass Amp. 350 Watts @ 8 ohms or 500 Watts @ 4 ohms with extension Speaker. (Which I've yet to buy as I haven't needed it)

It was relatively affordable, sounds great, fit's in my Trunk & weighs 36lbs. Works for me. I play Hofner Beatle Bass, Fender American P Bass & Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling. It works well with all 3 Bass'.

+1!

I recently thought there was a problem with my SVT III (turned out to be wiring in the cab), so I brought out my '74 monster. :D The III lives at the practice spot now... Depending on the gig, I'll use the SVT with my custom built 210/115 cab, or a 200 watt, 115 Acoustic combo. Figure if I'm going big, I'll go BIG!
