How's your back?

Right? What did Everett Hull have against casters? This lived on a carpet dolly before I installed some.

I once had an SVT cabinet that had no casters, just a suitcase style handle on the side. What in the actual fuck?

strong, like bull

My ex brother in law had one of those.
Thing weighed like 85 lbs. It was deceptively heavy.
Fucking screamed, though.
God DAMN that thing was loud.

And headroom. I never discovered where a VT-22 breaks up.

My bassplayer left this one with me years ago to fix up for a mutual friend. My bass buddy passed away before I started the resto on it, and our friend hasn't been seen in years. But I restored it anyway, it's been in my music room for 10 years or more now. I'll hold on to it, if I see this guy again he's in for a surprise.

 

[Steverino]

And yes, casters.

Ampeg guitar tone is awesome. It’s a shame the GVT series didn’t take off, because they sounded great. But it’s hard to be the gold standard for bass tone and get noticed for guitar amps.

Saw Johnny Winter in the day playing thru four of those. Take that Leo Fender.
