Earth 440 Bass amp head, any info.?

[GrecoVee]

Hey Guys,
Just put an Earth model 440 bass amp head on hold at a local music store.
Does any one have one of these and can tell me a few things about it?
Thanks!

Earth was a company that never actually designed anything. Their products were directly copied from manufacturers like Peavey and Fender. I'm not familiar with this particular model but it sounds like it's a copy of an Acoustic bass rig.

Earth was the Behringer of their day?

Earth wasn't quite that bad.

IIRC, the old Plush amp company became the Earth amp company. Perhaps it was started by former employees from Plush. A customer brought in an Earth bass amp head recently that looked remarkably like a '70's Peavey amp head. It was blown. He got it at a yard sale for $75.

I was kind of amazed to see the links between Kustom, Ross, Road and I think there was another manufacturer or two linked to those companies...

I kind of wish I still had that Road 4x12.

Did you also notice that one of our esteemed amp building members once worked there.
