Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1961 Harmony Bass Amp model H322 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. A rare and unusual vintage tube amp made for Harmony in the USA by Lectrolab, the H322 is, like the Fender Bassman before it, an amp marketed for bass and best suited for guitar. With a single channel and pair of fixed bias 7591 power tubes, the H322 delivers a rich tone via a quad of vintage RCA-branded 8 speakers. Not a particularly bright amp, the H322 has very responsive Treble and Bass controls and a Volume knob that’s best set all the way to its max. In fact, maxing out all the knobs seems to be this amp’s preferred state of being, and the distortion is positively thick, wooly, and raucous. It’s a dynamic and touch sensitive amp that a perfect apartment companion, studio secret weapon, or club gig powerhouse (with a microphone in front of it). And while the amp easily pushes enough volume on its own merits to compete with some drummers, its wattage and size make it a particularly versatile tube amp to have in your stash. The circuit has just been fully serviced and recapped as necessary, and all original transformers are intact. Like one would expect with a vintage bass amp, the transformers are quite generous in their size and are largely responsible for the power and fullness this amp can deliver. The tubes are all vintage and largely original, with EICO branded preamp tubes made by Mullard, and USA-made EICO 7591 power tubes. The speakers are a quad of alnico RCA-branded 8 speakers that date to 1957. Cosmetically, the amp is quite clean, with original white silkscreen graphics on the blue hammerite faceplate and stock white chicken head knobs as well. There is one silver plug on the faceplate from a previously removed mod. The original tolex and grillcloth are present along with the original back panel, and the dark grayish blue covering on the amp has held up well over the decades, especially given how this material is much more fragile than the tolex used by other manufacturers.
