Excellent Amp great playing !!!

@holmes1978 - Brian greatly thanks you for the kind words.

8.000 dollars for a fcking tube, which numpty would pay that, their are newer better tubes for 100 dollars, why do people think they stopped making them, because they were so good, I don't think so, because they were unreliable and flimsy at best, it's just snobbery plain and simple

@UKToneHunter - there are many tubes that sell for $8,000 USD ... but those are usually the larger transmitter tubes. There are many audio tubes that sell for $1,000 USD. However, those prices reflect the rarity of the tube more than the quality of the sound.

Beautiful tone...

@LukaszKomala - A good strat through a good tweed amp is a beautiful tone indeed.

Brian, I purchased my 57 Twin RI 6 years ago & haven't even considered ever playing through anything else. Enjoyed your soulful playing man!!

I traded in an R9 for one of these amps and have not regretted it one bit. Fantastic amp. Nice playing btw. Good demo.

@UKToneKing I think your playing is just great buy the way

@UKToneKing I got rid of my HRDx3, it was just not cutting it tone wise, it sounded OK at best, overdrive sucked big time, at least this SF bassman 100 has 2 very good working channels, the bass channel I am digging at moment, as it is thicker sounding, breaks up faster to, I think U get what U pay for, in the UK fender gear is more pricey, due to being usa made, which is a little bit of a con, but vox & marshall are cheaper here, not either of them 2 amps type of guy tho, fender best cleans

[UKToneKing]

That is a very sweet tone U got going on their mate, it has that bassman type chime with that sweet breakup the 57s are famous for, I love that kind of tone at the moment, I was more of a deluxe reverb type of guy, clean spank, but now I am drifting into that chime with plenty of grit, I have a silverface bassman 100, which has lot's & lot's of chime & also plenty of mids, and when I get it up to 6, it breaks up in that compressed way, the best way IMO, I am loving it at the moment,

@UKToneHunter I'm sorry, I didn't see your username and thought you meant eight dollars and zero cents and had put an extra zero. No tube is worth 8000 dollars unless the internal vacuum has been filled with the blood of Jesus. Still, for a reasonable price, I'd always, always rather have NOS tubes than new--besides the manufacturing consistency they were held to higher standards (f'rinstance old EL34s could be used with 900v on the plate, new ones might overheat with 600) and so on.

@AeolianSeventh thats all well and good, lots of idiots like to miss mash their tubes anyway, so having some variety is all good, come on you do not seriously be leave a tube is worth 8.000, and your argument is they would be identical, well tube.com only had one of the 8.000 tube I looked at, not going to be that identical is it.
