Re: Re: Problems with my Ampeg B200R

Yo bill, I hear ya; 

I'm 62 and still am using a Kustom K200 B-2 Tuck-N-Roll with a 2-15 JBL Cabinet.(That makes it weigh even more!) 

Somthing's got to give and I sure hope it ain't gonna' be my back!

Rob,
I'd give it a high 7, very light ( the reason i bought it )
and articulate. I think i won it on an ebay suction, new for 30 under list, which covered shipping....
My old mesa 2x10 was better, a solid 9, but really heavy.
at my age and stage of career, i need to sacrifice some quality for my back.
