Re: [Harp-L] Amp Head question

[MARK BURNESS <markwjburness@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Head & cab arrangements allow a wider choice of speaker options (assuming 
speaker loads are appropriate), it's just a lot of guys want an amp they can 
pick up & go with, rather than faff with 2 boxes, potentially forget speaker 
cables etc...me, I'm not averse to a bit of faffing & love my tweed bassman 
based head amp. :-)

Alan, I use a vintage Masco ME-18 head I bought from Jim Rossen, a Harp-L
member who is an amp wizard.  It has wonderful big tone; a warm old-school
crunch.  I use a Epiphone Valve Jr cab with a 12-inch speaker.
Old does not mean fragile.  The Masco is tough and robust; very gig-worthy.
It produces about 20 watts of power with two 6L6 power tubes, loud enough
for most gig situations.  And old Masco amps have the mojo.  They look very
cool sitting on your cab.
