Matchless Thunderman 100 Bass Amp
The Matchless Thunderman 100 Bass Boutique amp is a fairly rare amp that provides a great amount of tone. 
This amp features a flip top head that was built by Mark Sampson. The Thunderman, which is no longer produced by Matchless, is constantly reviewed as one of the top tube bass amps ever. Even when they were originally built, there were only a very limited number of Thunderman 100 bass amps were produced. The amp, however, has quite the following—it has been used by many different players over the years, including the bassist for Guns and Roses and Duck Dunn.
The Matchless Thunderman is completely hand wired and hand made. It includes some very interesting and different features, such as a light in the head that illuminates the Matchless name plate. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to find a Matchless Thunderman 100 bass boutique amp these days. Those who have one of these amazing amps are holding on to them because they can be used for many different venues, large or small, plus they make great recording amps.
If you do find one available for purchase, don’t expect to get it cheap—the Matchless Thunderman generally goes for $3,000 to $4,000 or more.

There are many misconceptions on the Thunderman. The Thunderman is 45 watts and made for 2 years while the Thunderman 100 is 100 watts and only made in 1998. Both are fantastic and rare.
