Hilgen B2503 Basso Grande 1964-65 Handwired 35 Watt Tube Amp

Top of the line bass amp for Hilgen starting in 1965. This was my first amp way back in 7th grade for bass, and sold it when I started playing guitar. I was nostalgic for the amp and found one in 2022 and brought it to my amp tech to be serviced, and it was finished in 1/31/23:

·      Restore amp to stock (including power switch configuration) 

·      Power cord 

·      Reduce noise floor best as possible 

·      Service, including filter caps

·      Checked Sylvania 7591A Power tubes and they tested OK.

·      Confirmed the output transformer is for 8 ohms. 

Chassis Stamp B2569 – either 64/65. 

This amp is a lot of fun for guitar. 7591 power tubes output is between a 6V6 and 6L6, but with more gain on tap. It sounds angry and easy to overdrive even without pedals.

I prefer local pickup, but if your heart is set on this I will package it up in an amp box, but shipping is expensive. I'll drive 50 miles from LAX airport here in Los Angeles for local pickup.

Thanks for looking!
