Members max maroon Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's the reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 'Course, it's a re-issue. I missed that on the first round. But, I still see them go up to $15-$1700-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members max maroon Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 ...I didn't know that the reissues were discontinued...I have one in mint condition too...I need money...I will be watching this auction very closely. ...IMO the reissue doesn't sound that amazing, Mine is just collecting dust.

Members Thumper Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's the reissue. Yep. The Diamond Blue Series hang tag is a dead give away. Nice amp, though. Someone (74Ric, I think) has that rig with a second, matching cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members max maroon Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 This. ...I will say that through my Aggie 410 it did sound slightly better...I was considering re-tubing it, but that would cost money. To my ears it's something aboot the high mids that I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members max maroon Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 It's just the V-4BH amp in a bad cabinet. Not exactly the best pairing. Yeah the Fliptop is a cool idea, but not the best for a speaker cabinet design. Kindness, what is the difference between a V-4B and a V-4BH? I'm wondering if it's worth the investment to drop the money into some better (er, different) tubes down the road...and maybe throwing it on a 1x12 (maybe one of the Acme's when they're available:love:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted March 5, 2009 Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 So the re-issue is 100 watts, while the original is 30-50 ish? Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members max maroon Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 Everything. There is no discernible similarity at all other than them both being amps of about the same wattage.My answer is yes. ...Well that would explain the H:D Thanks for the info!

Members Renfield Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 This. Yup. I tried one out in the store and couldn't even hear myself before it started distorting. Tone was uninspiring all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
