All-tube amp users, what genre of music do you play?

Only the good stuff worthy of being blessed by the tone of the almighty tube.

I still have one homebrew 60 watt tube head that I gig once awhile for bass, and I used to gig a bigger gun tube head in the old days. I'm one of many old school boomer rockers who also plays a boat load of blues and some jazz, gospel,funk, and whole bunch of other styles through both tube and solid state rigs. I play pretty much the same music through any amp rig be it tube or solid state.

 

Everything but country, but I would think that tubes might even improve that genre (only slightly).

 

straight up rock

 

Primarily alt. rock and indie rock.

I also dabble in folk americana, rock country, funk, contemporary jazz, and fusion. I dig tubes!

 

The big 200 watt tube amp is for Rock shows, Southern guitar rock mixed with Math Rock stuff.

The 50 watt tube amp I use with my Outlaw Country/Country Punk band

The 10 watt tube amp is for jamming and recording

 

i play metal and blues stuff i find the tube amp can work with any style though 1st thing i did when i got mine was run through every concievable setup and EQ and couldnt get a bad sound out of it!

 

I use my 100 watt tube head for rock mostly, but I'm pretty sure if I paired it up with some ten inch speakers, it would be perfect for jazz.

 

mostly hardcore-punk and some indie type rock.

 

anything and everything, but it cannot be beat when you wanna lay down some smoove grooves for motown (which is what im getting into right now).

 

i play loud ;<

 

With the V4 it's mostly modern/indie/alternative/math-rock. I was using my b15 for recording and for a short time a cover gig (mostly 70's pop tunes).

 

Alt/indie rock, americana, blues.

 

Classic Rock/Jam Band

 

Both kinds! Country and Western!
Seriously, I use tube amps for everything, except when I'm feeling too weak or too lazy to lug all that iron around. For those occasions, I grab a tube preamp and a SS combo or power amp. There's always glass somewhere!

 

I play in a country band. Mostly old style stuff, but some modern tunes and a bit of Americana. I find that a tube amp with the proper preamp tubes can give me the warmth and thickness I desire with a roundness that I don't usually find in SS amps.

I must confess thought that since I have a VB2 and a carvin 810, for small gigs I do bring my Solid State Ampeg Portabass rig instead.

 

Tube grind is my love... RAWK ON!

 

My band, Starroy, we play original music with the occaisional "cool" covers... we call our music "Country-fried, psychedelic rock & roll"

Check out the link in my signature & see what you think... or, I'm pretty sure you can hear our stuff on Amazon, CDBaby, and iTunes...

I play passive 4 strings with lots of effects thru my SVT-CL & SVT 8x10. (main basses are a Hwy 1 jazz, Lakland Hollowbody, and DiPinto Belvedere - tho I did use a Line 6 Variax with this rig for a long time)
