Music Man 2x10 130 Watts
I have a Music Man 2x10 130 watt combo (early good one) and am thinking about selling and will post it where it belongs if I do so
BUT...the question is how many of you guys actually can or do use 130 watts?? I have a 65 watter 2x10 as well and while I used the 130 outdoors at times in the past for street festivals etc...and this was before I got the 65'er...the 65 is usually plenty for outdoor gigs as well, even without being mic'd. What do you guys suggest? I don't think I have ever had this 130 turned full up..at about 4 of 5 it is ear splitting... |

I love Music Man amps. I was a tech for many years and appreciate how well the MMs are built. I can't and won't tell you whether 130W is too much, but if you're like me, as soon as you sell the amp, you'll need it!
Regards, Bill. |

130 watts is only slightly louder than 65 watts, 3 dB louder to be exact.

I can't stay in the room with my 60 watt combo, and my 12 watter (single 8'' Celestron, single tube) is just right for a stage amp in small situations. I can't imagine needing 130 watts for most applications. I had a 100 watt dual 10'' and couldn't stay in the vicinity of it either. Sold it to buy the 60 watter. I hung onto the 60 watt for larger stages, but honestly don't use it that often. |

Tha amp has a Master Volume and a 65/130W switch so getting a good sound at low volume isn't a problem. I seem to remember those things weight a TON.... that could be the problem

The amps with the old script logo and the 12AX7/7025 drive tube are the more desireable amps (not sure what year yours is).
And yeah, they are heavy - around 70 pounds if I recall.

Music Man amps have a solid state preamp section. The early amps, however, used a valve/tube phase splitter. Starting in the late 1970s, Music Man amps came with a solid state phase splitter stage. The earlier amps are more collectible.
