| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: CT | | | I voted Ampeg but I have 3 different heads I use for different purposes.
My main gigging amp is my Ampeg B5R- thats what I figured you were looking for.
I also have an old SWR Studio 220 that I use for rehearsals. We rehearse at our rhythm player's house, we do country and we dont get crazy-loud so its fine for that.
Then I have my Kustom Groove 1200 watt behemoth. That one is reserved for outdoors gigs (which we havent had any yet).

Aggie TH500 most of the time, but MarkBass F500 quite often. The choice depends on cabs, the room, the band's stage sound. |

Had my Bass 750 since new in 2002. Had my SM-400 since new in 1994 and had my SS-180 since new in 1987. Just can't beat what tone it gives for me and my basses..IMHO

I'm sure it will pay off for you though, I've read nothing but praise for the SM.
