Casey4s	Re: Homebrew Bass Amp? Yes, I built an Ampeg SB-12 Portaflex clone. It's original design uses 6L6's, but I used a bigger PT and use 6550's. It has a 12" bass speaker, but would be cool with a 15" as well. I used the smaller speaker to keep the overall size to a minamum. It is a pretty straight forward circuit, single channel with Bass Treb, Vol, nothing real fancy, but it sounds very nice. I have photos of the DIY project here http://briefcase.yahoo.com/casey4s Casey4s
