Vox's best "current" bass amp!
First of all, I bought the 25-watt version (T-25) about 20 years ago in 2002 because I couldn't find this 60-watt version. That amp had served me well for several years and shows (it was used in a few pretty big shows, too - mic'd up, of course) and I still have it and love it.
But, just before Covid hit, I finally found a T-60! I'd have to say it sounds a lot like the T-25, just a bit more powerful! But, since I got it about 10 seconds before Covid came around, I never got the chance to play out with it. But, I did loan it out to an old Beatlemania alumni friend of mine, Mitch Weissman for a couple of smaller, local shows and I thought it sounded great and kept up with the drums with no problem!
For those of us that are playing in Beatle tribute bands, this thing sounds like what Paul had (his T-60 had a slightly different cab and two speakers - but, the sound is the same). I'm going to mirror what everyone else has been saying for decades - when will Korg/Vox actually make a bass amp that's a little bit bigger and slightly more wattage - even a 100-watt amp would be nice! Their guitar amps are superb - even their low to mid-range amps are very good and can be gigged with no problems. But, this offering from Korg/Vox in 2001 is their closest thing to having a professional bass amp.
