Favorite amp manufacturer...?

[Crystalman85]

Personally, I like gallien-krueger and hartke amplifiers.

 

[smithy78]

It seems eden and ampeg are rather popular, and sorry to all who are complainig about the choices!

 

[Budha bass]

depending my needs :
sadowsky or Tecamp.

 

[Kelly Lee]

Trace Elliot. I just love the Trace tone.

 

[Chinguschild]

Eden followed By GK. I like a punchy modern tone and Eden/GK amps tend to have a voicing I really like

 

[etechstan]

I like my Peaveys

 

[18eranaRic]

I voted "Other" for Sunn o)))

 

[51m0n]

Markbass

 

[Krause]

Currently I use Ampeg and have for 9 years now. Looking into getting some new cabs but not sure what yet. My guitar players use the Vader 412 and 215 guitar cabs they sound amazing, but I haven't heard anything about the bass cabs, so I don't know if I should take a chance on them.

Also looking at Markbass, Aguilar, and one of the dealers here are now a Epifani dealer so I wouldn't mind trying one of those out.

Until then I will stick with Ampeg.

I voted other. My favorite is Ampeg (pre-LOUD, of course).

 

[rodl2005]

OLD AMPEG!!!!! BERGANTINO cabs!

 

[sk8]

Genz benz for their great products and excellent customer service

 

[Sunn]

Hmm.

Well--seems like the options left out a couple of pretty historically important brands.

I vote "other".








for Sunn (O)))

 

[Grizzly700]

Yep you're definetly a guitard.

I would have to choose GK and MarkBass.

 

[jconary]

Markbass

Smith78, I really get a kick out of your poll selections.

I voted other (Peavey), because that is what I have and like alot. Sure I like Hartley's company, but mainly the fact that used Peavey equipment can be had quite reasonably as my music budget is limited.

A few years ago I played in a band using the g**tarist's Ampeg (BA210) and thought that amp was very good, especially for it's modest size.

1. Carvin: BX600 powering a sbr210.15
2. Carvin: R1000 powering a RL210 & RL115
3. Carvin: R 600 powering more Carvin cab's.

All excellent amps, made in USA, power to spare, reliable, cost effective, etc, etc, etc...

I have multiple basses by multiple manufacturers, both US & foreign built, but my amp preference should be obvious...

 

[K2000]

An old Ampeg SVT... '60's, 70s, 80s...

 

[Resko One]

SWR all the way.
A little underpowered but amazing sound. Had to replace the Groove Tubes in the preamp with something better though. As for Cabs I would say Ampeg or Avatar.
