The Rex Bassking combo, model BA200, is a vintage amplifier crafted in Melbourne in 1969, representing a significant piece of Australian musical history. This amp remains in original condition and continues to function perfectly, a testament to its durable construction. About 12 months ago, the amp was serviced by Warren Brown, a respected technician, who replaced capacitors and other components to ensure it operates at its best. Notably, the original caps and parts have been preserved and are stored in a plastic bag inside the amp, adding to its authenticity and appeal for collectors.
This BA200 combo delivers 20 watts of output power, providing a warm, classic tone that vintage amp enthusiasts admire. The amp is equipped with its original alnico Rola 12PEG speaker, which is known for its smooth response and vintage sound quality. The combination of the 20-watt power and the Rola speaker creates a rich and balanced tone, making this amp suitable for both practice and small performances. The Rex Bassking BA200 is not only a functional piece of gear but also a valuable collector’s item that embodies the craftsmanship and sonic character of late 1960s Australian amplifiers.
This amp comes with a custom fitted cover.
