Germino Bass 35 - Tones & Sounds

Today we are taking a closer look at the Germino Amps Bass 35 amplifier. The Bass 35 is Greg Germino's take on a late 60's, Marshall, four hole, plexi, bass circuit. Germino builds stellar sounding plexi & tweed circuits, and this amp is no exception. It totally nails late 60's plexi tones, and can sound surprisingly modern with the right pedal combination.
