This is all of my bass gear (ATM :cool:)... I have a used Squier Bronco, on order, which I will be refinishing & modding. I just downsized my amps/cabs... will probably stay with this ‘collection’ for awhile- as I am stepping away from my band which requires larger stuff!

MB CMD121P combo
(sitting on MB NY121 cab)... basses just happened to be hangin around :smug:

Right now I currently have a Rumble Studio 40 (1 x 10" modeling combo) in my apartment.

Stored at my parents house is an Acoustic B100 (1 x 15" combo) and a Behringer 450 watt head with a 4 x 10". I think I'm set for life...
 
I have 2 - a TC BH250, and a Rumble 500 - both heads.

The Rumble is the backup - I only do one regular gig that needs an amp, and both of those heads are far more power than I need for that gig. I always bring both to the gig - between them, they're only 8 pounds, and they don't take up any space to speak of.

All my other gigs are ampless. The GAS part of me wants me to buy more amps, just because, but seriously, I already have what I need, plus a backup.
 
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.
i have a ampeg ba108 ampeg ba110 ampeg ba210 ashdown mag 300 410 crt ampeg 610 classic fender 810 pro.. the fender 810 pro is for sale or trade.
 
I feel we should all have at least a main and a backup. I had a main, a backup and a backup for my backup. Till I did a hella dumb thing and fried the transformer on my main backup (a GK 1001rbII). So now I just have my main amp, an Electric Power Unit that I run into a GK Neo 410. I have a back up rig, a Peavey Musician 400 series that I run into an SWR Workingman's 810 tower. I also have an Ampeg B50R combo I use at home at times. But I mostly play through the Peavey/SWR rig at home. My neighbors love me! :smug:

I also can and would run both these rigs together parallel if given he chance.
