2. That looks like fun!

I'm kind of a retired bass player, but I love old tube guitar amps. I have an old Marshall JMP100 that I got off of ebay. The ohm selector switch was busted and someone hard wired it to 16 ohms. I just pulled the two outside tubes so I could drop it to 8 ohms and plug it into this THD cab that I had. The tone was wonderful. I lent it to my old guitar player who's still out their playing. I'm going to get back into it, but I have to get a new bass amp. I'd love to learn how to build my own amp from scratch. I'll have to figure out how to make time for it though. I work full time and have a menagerie of rescued critters at home. I hope that you find the tone that you are looking for! Keep on rockin'!
