Bass Amps & Effects / Re: The Evolution of Bass Amplication

If you were running a Vox amp back then, it either ran hot or was actually on fire.

True I think those old Acoustics were Koss engineers not musicians.

« on: December 06, 2021, 08:28:02 AM »Don't you think the only reason people were buying those VOX amps is because of the Beatles? I suppose it took people a while to figure out that quality should be the main consideration.

Definitely not paid by the word.
Those early VOX amps were fire starters.
I was a tech at a music store in the late 60's and remember (I think) Acoustic Amps . . . blue top on the face. Had a return rate greater than 50% because of rectifier failures.
