A bunch of other stuff
Mesa TT800.

I think that's all that really matters.

Started playing bass in 1999. Really not a long list for over 20 years.

Peavey MicroBass Combo (sold)
Roland DB500 Combo (electronics died)
SWR WorkingMan's 4004 (still own it)
SWR Henry the 8x8 (still own it)
SWR WorkingMan's 12 (still own it)
Eden D210T (sold)
Ampeg B2R (bought for $6 used for 2 years and sold for $350)
SWR LA 12 (bought, used once, stored for years, then sold)
Quilter Bass Block 800 (current go to)
Phil Jones Bass Compact 8 (current go to)

I do not expect the ones I currently own to ever go. I like the SWR stuff more than it is worth on the used market. I see little reason to replace the BB800 or C8 with current market offerings. While I have been tempted to get a second C8 and a Bergantino Forte HP, I have little need to (meaning give it a year or two and I probably will anyway).

I hear you on the SWR. I think I paid $150 for my second 750X used from GC online.
