How many amps do you guys own?

[Passinwind]

There are a dozen threads asking how many basses people here currently have. I am curious to know how many amps people currently have.

Three, all DIY jobs. My rationale is one for EUB (or hopefully AUB eventually), one for BG, and one for utility purposes now that I no longer have a complete PA. I like running stereo or clean/dirty setups sometimes as well.

 

[CosmicRay]

Eden WT800
GK MB2 Fusion 800
Mesa WD800
Crest ProLite 2 DSP
Carvin B2000
Carvin BX250
Fender Bassman Ten combo
Peavey Microbass combo

 

[el murdoque]

Ampeg PF-50T
Aguilar Tonehammer 500
GS Baby Sumo (+Sansamp pedal)
Peavey Mark IV
Carlsbro Viper combo (for sale)

Five amps, one for sale. Each is vastly different from the others. I've bought and sold amps in rapid succession for a time, but these stuck.

This is what I remember:
Quilter BassBlock 800
Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0
Genz-Benz ShuttleMAX 9.2
Gallien-Krueger 200RCB
Gallien-Krueger 1001RB
MarkBass CMD102P
Ibanez Promethean
Hartke kickback 10

And then there’s the preamps....

There are a dozen threads asking how many basses people here currently have. I am curious to know how many amps people currently have. I am going to allow the inclusion of combos since not everyone needs a dedicated head.
This excludes cabs. That would be another topic for another day.
Current ownership only, please. Not a laundry list of every amp you have ever owned.

2 and I'm thinking of selling 1.

 

[Crusher47]

Mesa Subway D800 w/2x15 Mesa Subway Cabinet
Ampeg V4B w/8x10 Ampeg Classic Cabinet
Fender Rumble 500 2x10 Combo w/2x10 Fender Rumble Cabinet (Vertical 4x10 stack)
Ampeg BA-115 Combo (Leave at rehearsal space)
Carvin BA-115 Cabinet (Sold the Carvin BX1200 head.... looking for something to pair to this...maybe GK head?)

1) ‘69 B15
2) ‘68 Fender Bassman
3) Markbass 121p + Matching ext.

I play the bassman on guitar mostly, don’t gig with the B15 so much anymore. If I need to bring an amp I bring the MB because it’s light and loud.

Though, the bassman and B15 are great for recording.

 

[DLVlad]

Ampeg B4R
Ampeg SVT-4 Pro
Fender Rumble Stage 800
Fender Rumble Studio 40

But frankly when gigging, mostly use the subwoofer in our Bose tower system PA. However I'm covered for all circumstances.

One for bass - a Traynor YGL-3A head (into a Hartke Transporter 2x10 and a beat-up EV 2x12).

One for guitar - a (Fryette) VHT Pittbull 100CL (into a Peavey 4x12 with Sheffields).

And one Line6 Flextone HD 100W head that I bought before I knew any better. It actually works ok for certain live applications but I mostly use it for direct recording and extra effects. Clean tones are alright, effects get the job done, distortion modeling sounds horrible.

 

[JohnnyBottom]

Mesa WD800
Quilter BB800

When I use the WD800, the Quilters in the car as a backup.
But when using the Quilter...its pretty odd to bring the WD800 as a backup, so ill
probably pickup another amp.

 

[Drucifer]

Ampeg SVT-CL and 810E
Ampeg B15N
Ampeg BA-108
Jule Monique and 700 with 2 x Baer 112ML
GK 800RB with Hartke 410XL and 115XL
Aguilar DB750 with Bergantino HD410
Markbass Little Mark 250 w/Accugroove Tri 108
Mesa Boogie D800 with various cabinets listed above
GK 400RB with various cabinets listed above

I need to change my vote to crazy cat lady.

One main head, one main cab. One secondary cab (both are 8 ohm, I can run them together, when I want to).

But the second cab isn't running the same driver as main and isn't nearly as efficient or good, so it's only to spread out sound, not for more volume. I specifically use it to plunk beside my drummer, while my main cab goes behind me.

Of course then I also have my rack power amp, and that can drive both cabs also (with stereo amp outs so there is a volume advantage in running both cabs this time), and I use that when I am running with emulated amps (gr-55 etc).

So I answered 2-3 ... cuz I guess it's one, but a second thing that isn't a traditional amp, and then the oddball combos of components for my specific needs.

 

[jlepre]

Genzler MG800
Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0/8T Combo
Trace Elliot Elf

That's all for right now, but next week this list could change.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Let’s see:

Ampeg SVT 2-PRO
Ampeg B2RE
Markbass momark (I think)
GK 400RB
Hartke 7000
Fender Bassman 130 (needs work)

Various Ampeg cabinets... about 5 I think

 

[Nighttrain1127]

No There is a tonal difference between them and even at 60 I don't mind moving them if I need to use them. Aand also just so if I say I am going to use my SVT because a couple of the groups that I play with prefer the sound. I have a back up just in case. I have had both SVT's for quite a while had them into the tube head DR when I first got them put many hours on them and have only had one oops so far and that was a tube that went bad.

 

[Nighttrain1127]

What cabs are you running the PF-50T's into.

 

[coreyfyfe]

My rationale is one for EUB (or hopefully AUB eventually), one for BG, and one for utility purposes

This is basically my thought process behind my setup as well - an EA doubler for upright gigs, my Science Mother for electric gigs, and an amp (or five) for other purposes. My "other purposes" bucket is overflowing a bit at the moment though...

 

[Thumpin6string]

Plan to get down to just the first one. In order of use:
GB Streamliner 900
GK 400RB IV
Eden WTDI into 900 watt Nady
Ampeg SVT4 Pro

 

[nilorius]

I have only one and don't need much more, it's Hartke tx600.

 

[equill]

Either 5 or "lots", depending...

Travel option: Amplug Bass + microcab
Combo: TC BG250-208
DI: Radial Bassbone OD
Analogue modeller: Sansamp Classic
Digital modeller: Atomic Amplifire.

Does the Amplifire count as one, the number of models, or the total number of presets (including different cab tunings) configured? Asking for a friend...
