Classic lamp all over the place was car type 12V 15/18W which is very common, but apparently caused annoying "nuisance blowing" with modern high power amps and slappers so they upgraded that spec...
Maybe it's that style itself that's the nuisance... Maybe the amps were trying to tell "bassists" something... Geez, it'd be nice to walk into a music shop & not hear the bass section sound like a drunk rendition of the Seinfeld theme played through a couple Gorilla amps... Bass amps with HORNS... Now walk over to that 72 SVT with 2 vintage fridges, turn everything to 5, and play your best Stones riffs, dammit!
Okay, I'm out.

I did call loud, they no longer carry anything ampeg, called ampeg, but it was after their hours, we'll see what they say when/if they reply to my message.
The somewhat local place finally got back with me and quoted them at $7.29ea plus shipping, but I'm a cheapskate so I'm waiting to hear back from ampeg/yamaha/line6 haha
it was worth a shot, I've gotten lucky before back when I was working on cb's and ham radios, called a shop looking for a part and ended up buying the whole inventory the guy had, dirt cheap too because he was going out of business.
The guy from loud was helpful, he gave me the number for ampeg, which is also listed on the ampeg site, not sure if I missed that before or if it's been updated since I looked, but it says yamaha in the contact info.
