Cox Bassman

[Kmaz]

Anyone here using one? How does it compare to models from Fender or Victoria?

Thanks for posting. I had never heard of Cox. I like his prices in comparison to Victoria and Clark, but in the same breath, I am really big fans of them as well. Free bump!:D

Yes, way better pricing than Victoria or Clark, but I'm wondering how much these lower prices reflect on quality as compared?

Same thing I am hoping to find out. I know some of it comes down to preference. Ceriatone proves that some of the prices can be a little high, but like I said, I like all of these guys building classic Fender models. Hoping this thread will get some attention as folk wake up and log in.:D

Well, we're talking about Fender-style tweeds here. Leo's tweed designs were simplistic and very effective. Cox doesn't have the reputation (yet) of V & C amps, so maybe this is the reason his amps are fairly priced?

[zephaniah zion]

Agree. The design is perfect for what I like in the amp and the Bassman and Twin are pretty much what define what I look for in an amp and how I judge them. Marshall, Dumble and Hiwatt pretty much complete the definition also.:D

Hey OC, MD! A couple of miles down the road from me. Anyway his amps have gotten good reviews from what I have read on here and a few other forums. I have been interested in getting one of his 5e3 tweeds for awhile now. I think like others have said a name goes along way in asking for the big $$$. Somebody on here has to take one for the team and try one out.

Hey buddy, hows it going.

Whats up, good to see someone local around here. You in town in OC? I worked and lived there for awhile before settling down across the border in DE.

Good deal, I did the restaraunt thing for awhile as well, now in law enforcement, the wife teaches in Berlin. I spent alot of time in KCoast when I first started surfing, Mark(hairball) was always really cool to me and I spent alot of time bs'ing in there. If you ever happen to get a Cox amp let me know.

There was someone selling one on here not too long ago. I Pm'd him but never got a response. Not sure if he sold it or kept but atleast I would of liked to have their opinions on the amp.

[h20man]

He just posted a cool looking tweed twin. Really wish he had some clips of what he sells.

I have the Cox Amps 5E3 Ultimate with a Weber alnico in it. Great sounding amp. Anyone here pull the trigger on his Bassman? I'd love to hear about it.

I have the Cox 5E3 ultimate.I had wanted a tweed deluxe for some time and bought one from Brian Cox..The amp is awsome sounding and the build is good,neat and well put together.I cant make any comparisions but to me it looks and sounds great and at a decent price

[Unadan]

He has a low power tweed twin on eBay right now.
