Members johnbarnesiii Posted February 20, 2019 Members Share Posted February 20, 2019 hi guys, im looking to buy a used Hilbish beta guitar head. Trouble is they’re sold out til mid year.

Members johnbarnesiii Posted February 20, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yes thats the one. I wish it was available. Nothing on Reverb but some old listings no longer active. Have checked around online but can’t seem to find one.

Members johnbarnesiii Posted February 21, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 Its a guitar amp, but I think it can be used for bass too. I just happen to like the tone of this head, that's all. Totally valid questions, thanks for asking. Says endead tho. Couple dumm questions: Is this a bass amp?

Totally valid questions, thanks for asking. Ok last dumm question. Why 700 W ??? Anyway, if it's anything like the Sunn amps from the early 70s, I can see how one could get attached to the tone. A guy who lived down the road from me in the 70s had one with the funny looking KT tubes. It was the first non Bassman, Bandmaster, or Kustom, amp I'd run into. He had it in the driveway cranked and I still remember that jagged but uniform smoothness. Sounded like a strange, powerful motor of some kind.
