Music Man HD-130

[Randracula]

I posted a pic in my gig spam thread but I love this amp so much I thought it deserved it's own thread. I'm using a Music Man HD 130 for my gig tonight and couldn't be happier. The band i'm playing in is somewhat low volume and the guitar player already had this amp at their practice place and told me I could use it.Man this thing roars with my Sterling HS and Avatar 410. Nice tube grind like my SVT but at a reasonable volume.Flip the deep switch and it's got some super lows as well. I'm now on the lookout(GAS'ing) for my own HD-130

Wow. I've always wanted to try my bass through an old MusicMan amp. You should post some audio clips!

Newbie here

I just got ahold of a HD-130 head on Monday, How? Some butthole put it out with the garbage I kid you not. I took to my shop and looked it over before I dared fire it up, which i didnt. It does need new mains in the filter sections, but the fuse was ok and all other electronics looked good too. This is the earlier version I believe, it has the 12ax7 pahse inverter and 4 EL84. the original grill and emblems were removed as well as the reverb pan.
She does need some TLC but from what Ive been reading and what people have told me this amp is the s..t. I know nothing of the musicman amps but remember them growing up.
Im really interested in getting it going, Btwn the tremolo, reverb and 130 watts!!
But who the hell uses 130 watts any more unless your gigging.

Well I got my new F&T main caps in today, I'll pull the old decreped ones out tomorrow and keep going foward in her cleanup. So far from this forum I can guestimate my amp to be the earlier ones since it has the 12ax7 phase inverter. I need to know which reverb tank is the correct one for this model. Ive found accutronics make 2 or 3 for the musicman, Is it a 2 or three spring? Any one have a model # ? The grill cloth is mos def not original and Im missing the both MM logo and mdl # plate.
Anyone know of places to look other then ebay?
