    ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

    The Rex Bassking head and cabinet, model BA600, is a notable piece of Australian amplifier history, manufactured in Melbourne in 1970. Rex Amplifiers was founded by Frank Lambretti and his brother in the 1950s, and the brand quickly became known for producing reliable and high-quality equipment. Though Frank has since passed, his legacy continues through his sons, who still operate a music wholesaling business in Australia. This particular model, the BA600, represents the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Rex amplifiers during their peak production years.

    The Bassking head is driven by a pair of EL34 tubes, providing a powerful and rich tone that bass players appreciate. Both channels of the amp are identical, allowing for consistent sound shaping across different inputs. Around 18 months ago, Warren Brown, a well-regarded technician from Brownout in Port Macquarie, serviced the amp. During this service, Brown replaced capacitors, resistors, and other components as needed to restore the amp to its full working condition. This ensures that the amp not only retains its vintage charm but also performs reliably for modern use.

    One of the standout features of this Rex Bassking is the original pair of 12” Pioneer alnico speakers housed in the cabinet. These speakers are known for their smooth, warm tone and have become a rare find in the vintage amp market. The combination of the EL34-driven head and these alnico speakers creates a sound that is both powerful and nuanced, making this amp a true gem for collectors and musicians alike. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or its sonic qualities, the Rex Bassking BA600 remains a remarkable amplifier that encapsulates the spirit of Australian amp manufacturing.

    This amp comes with custom fitted covers.
