200S-Guild Thunderbass?
« on: March 09, 2004, 08:17:24 pm »
Any info on Guild Thunderbass amps? I got one last week and am struck by the cabinets similarity to a 200S. Same size, design and D140Fs.
Haven't really looked into the head yet, but it has a SUNNlike feel.

Can you give us the tubes in the head?  I always thought the Guild Thunderbass had 6L6GC outputs and was rated at 50W rms.  With two channels.  Sounds more like a Bassman than a Sunn amp to me.

Finally had a chance to pull the Thunderbass head apart. Output tubes
are 8417s. Two channels with a master vol. Pots are dated '67 & '68.
I've ended up with two of these heads and need to look at the other
one. It looks to be in better condition, but doesn't sound as impressive.
Really intrigued by the cabinet's sound though.
