Apparently I am the crazy cat lady of amps.

I believe I have 28 guitar and bass amps, 10 power amps, and an ancient solid state Slave Amp. I expected to see more people with similar size collections :bag:.
I am with you I didn't list my guitar amps... I need to edit...

71 Kustom 200 B (took me to the dance)
74 ACC 370 ( brought me to the ball)
2009 GC B200 combo
2014? GC Acoustic B200 Head
2017 Bergantino forte’ ( my hernia repair and lower back Love it!) Loud n clear . Transparent : What you play and sound like is what you hear
 
I have 6, including my Roland Cube 60 combo. Three main gigging amps are a MarkBass LM III, Genz Benz ShuttleMax 9.2, and Genz Benz Streamliner 900.

The Quilter BB800 has me gassing pretty badly though, love the sound and feel of that amp.

And yes, that is bass amps only. Not that I have that many other amps, but I do have a few.
 
I guess am a crazy old catman, one's too many, a thousand's not enough, I even have a 12 year old female cat named Gata lying on the bed right next to me gazing lovingly at my B-15T:laugh:.
