OK! I'll join in :-) if we're talking Bass amps. I used to own and gig with a Mesa Boogie Bass 400+. It was all valve (excluding rectification) and ran 12 x 6L6 in push pull driven by 4 Ecc83's. It was a monster and in combo with 2 x Mesa Boogie 1516BE cab's was seriously 'HiFi' for my bassing duties in a Jazz Fusion Band I was gigging in at the time.
However, dotdotdot, I prefer my SWR Super-Redhead thesedays.
Ha I'm familiar with that amp, re-valving cost must be eye-watering, but they sound good! I sold a Sunn 300T recently, heaviest amp I've ever had to lug anywhere. Jesus.
