CONCERT BASS OHM RATINGS?
« on: March 11, 2007, 04:23:54 am »
hello i am new here and i wonder if anyone can tell me how i can tell what is the ohm rating of my red & black late 70's concert bass head?  it sounds GREAT but i dont want to blow anything up / fry any speakers or the amp...please help!  i have tried to find some specs but cant figure out just where to look.

THANKS!

It's probably stable to 2 ohms, 4 ohms is safe.

Ed is correct....probably is the operative word on 2 ohms..
I would stick to 4 ohm loads

Better to be safe than on fire...http://

Output transistors for those amps are readily available but the drive transformer is not..
and the FET's in the preamp are also not available...anywhere...so be safe and enjoy your amp at 4 ohms.
