I don't know, personally I've always found Laneys to be a pretty good bet, but then I've not played through any 'high-end' bass amps. I did go through a Fender a couple of weeks ago that was quite nice. Not convinced by Mark Bass. Or Marshall, for that matter...

| | | | The best bass amp I tried when I was in the market was the one I wasn't even going to try. I hadn't heard of Yorkville prior and had my eye on a GK1001.. Played through the same cab I had at home, and the the Yorkie KILLED the GK.
In fact, I've yet to find an amp that sounds better to me than the one I ended up taking home with me that day!

I think it has "B115" printed on it. 15inch speaker and huge cabinet with a port across the bottom that must be 5inches high. It sounds like God to me, especially with a Compressor-Sustainor and a ProCo Rat distortion on my G&L L2000 or AtelierZ 5-string. The B and E shakes the whole church. It's sitting right next to an Ampeg tilt-back 15inch combo that sounds like **** in side-by-side comparison.
