thanks!

I test it out yesterday with the Model T line out, I could feed both 2x15 with Emi CB15! man never felt pressure on my skull before! I even tried the Bass in drop A, the low A under 30Hz could be felt trough my all body amazing...! :-o

I have to find the exact date hided somewhere...must be 80's I guess?

Check out the catalog thread but my bet is late '70s.

yeah, the 1975-1979 part is missing. since mine is red knob, it should be in the later versions...I'll try to find the test tag.

hey I've got one more doubt? :|

can I use the master line out of the beta bass without using the speaker outputs? does it absolutely need a charge like tube amp?

because I'm using the coliseum slave for the power section and speaker outputs...

Solid state amps don't need a load to run safely. They just sit there, happily producing voltage with no current. So yes, you can run the Beta and use only the preamp out.
