Had my eye on a local Bogner Shiva but we were too far apart on a swap valuewise to reach a deal, and I wasn't coughing up any cash.
Then this thing popped up on my radar. Not my first choice really, but I'll give it a shot.

Going in with an open mind, as I've red glowing reviews and also horror stories about this amp.
Reliability seems to be an issue with some of them. But it's super clean with low hours on it. Works perfectly.
Everything switches as it should on the panel and with the footswitch, which is where most of the reliability issues were reported to exist. Sounds pretty good so far. Hopefully I got a good one.

First impression, this sucker's big! Almost as big as a 2/12. And its a single 12" Vintage 30 in this one.
Haven't gotten a chance to let this thing really open up yet but as soon as the wife is gone for an hour or so
I'll let her rip. Lotsa little switches & doodads to play with. Going to have to download an owners manual
to make sense of it all.

It's a VH 140C. Stereo chorus amp.
A real face melter with some of the best high gain sounds known to mankind, from a solid state amp.

But sadly for you, it's not a bass amp.
