Description

Edit description

The Vintage Pro Bass Solid State Amp Head by Risson build in the 1980s.

This is a boutique vintage solid state transistor bass head , Made by former Fender and Rickenbacked tech Bob Rissi. It’s like if you really expanded upon a Sunn concert bass - simple tone control but the preamp adds a tone of depth, and the three way sustain selector on the back takes things to a whole other level. Volume is huge. No rating but I’d guess it’s somewhere between 250-450 watts. Volume at 3 is more than you’ll probably ever need.
