Gretsch Amplifiers: 6154 Super Bass

<p>At 53 pounds and 70 watts (Class A, no less) the 6154 was not for the faint of heart or weak of back. </p> <p>While Valco built it and Gretsch marketed it as a bass amp, like most of Valco's efforts at bass amplifers it really functions better as a guitar amp. In this particular case, a very loud, very heavy guitar amp. </p> <p>From the rear view, note the split chassis and twin 12-inch Jensens. </p>
