Yeah, the basic SVT is about the same price as a Bassman 300, and then they have the Heritage and Anniversary models, which just seem to be a cosmetic thing, and one is assembled in the US, with I'm sure the same imported components. Is that bias thing really important to have?

I went back with the Super Bassman. I know what I'm working with the Super Bassman. For what ever reason, the 100T had some Auto Bias issues the Super Bassman didn't. With the deal I worked with SA, I'll get the Super B, and some cash back. Not too shabby I guess. :roll:

Well, if you got a deal with it, that's not a bad thing. You are also familiar with the Super Bassman from past experience, which is also a plus. I have a feeling it's probably a better amp than the 100T to begin with. The 300 tube watts aren't too shabby, either. 8)

I was seriously considering the 100T for a bit, until I thought it through more. I began to check out some of the issues it had, that the Super, didn't have. I have a thought that it could probably be the 25 watt circuit that the Super doesn't have. Or maybe it's 100 watts for some reason doesn't handle as well as the 300 watts in the Super. I'm in no position to buy and pray that they rectified the 100T Auto Bias System issues. That system not only monitors the tubes as they work, it controls the tubes Bias, and power.

Was there a lot of issues with the 100T? I didn't know anything about those. It hasn't seemed to really been a topic around these parts, unless maybe a long time ago, buried a few pages back.

I'm not sure a lot, but enough from what I saw on here, and another place, that I read that didn't leave me to satisfied with it. Nightmares of the early Bassman 500 heads I'd seen.

I remember your issues with those. I wonder if anyone is even using those heads these days? Come to think of it, even the head that this thread was the topic of. I know you've had one a couple of times. I've never heard about it being used extensively, though.

It seems like the Bassman 500 users on TalkBass, seem plentiful. Along with the Bassman 800, 100T, and Super Bassman as well.

Was there? I've pretty much avoided that place like the plague, unless it comes up in a search if I'm looking for some particular amp info. It's funny, I just never could get into that place for too long. I tried to, but it just didn't work out. There's something about it that just annoys the hell out of me for some reason.

I know what you're saying. I've somewhat learned to pick, and choose what, and where I want to get into. Just being more selective at best over there.

It's funny, because since it's a lot busier than somewhere like this, but that doesn't mean you're going to have a lot more conversations. I guess that's a matter of quality over quantity thing, I suppose.

Agreed. Bigger isn't always better.

Yeah, especially if you don't find yourself relating to a lot of it.
