I'm probably forgetting something. It's not a problem. I can stop any time I want.

If you ever want to sell that Marshall Major, keep me in mind please. I sold mine in 1976 for $150 bucks and am still kicking myself.
SWR SM400
Paired with a Goliath 410. The original, ridiculously heavy one. SN 0036. Sometimes with an old Mesa Road Ready 115. This rig gets dropped off if I'll be doing multiple rehearsals at one place for a while.
MarkBass LMIII
This is paired with 2 MB 604 cabs. Until recently it was my main rig. Now it's used as a backup, and for situations like open jams where other people will be using it.
Quilter BB800
The Quilter is my current main amp, paired with a 210W cab. I like it, but I'm not in love with it.
I recently played through an Aguilar 751 which has ruined all other amps for me.

I like set it and forget it in context of live performance but ABY box offers quick amp /tone change or reverse for 2 Basses into 1 amp!
After 35 years of playing professionally and not, I have acquired a vast amount of stuff.
I've got 6 amps right now.
A combo for DB only gigs, a head for BG only or doubling gigs and another combo sits in my practice room. I have two heads and a 35 year old Crate practice amp, all worth so little, there's no reason to sell them...I keep them as backups/beaters/loaners.

'73 Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100 that no longer leaves the studio.
Reeves Custom 225 that's one of two main work horses.
Hi-Tone HT 50 DG paired with a 4x12 for biamping my 8 string.
Acoustic 370, the other gigging mainstay.
Acoustic 140 for the rehearsal space.

Peavey Standard 260H.

I'm not a collector of bass gear, so I really try to let things go when other pieces come in. Right now, I have the following:
Main Amp: Mesa Subway+/Noble Preamp + Crown 2500
Backup Amp: Ampeg V4B
Main bass cabinet: Ampeg SVT-212AV
"Backup" Cap: Mesa Subway 115

1) Ampeg PF-500 with PF-210HE for play out and home use
2) Ampeg BA-112 V2 for playing with the band at our weekly sessions and smaller venues
They both weigh about the same, but have similar sound wherever I play.

Who wants to know? The IRS? My Ex’s lawyer? Wait! Isn’t this Talkboat?
3 for me:
Genz Benz Shuttle6.2 + a Streamliner900, both of which are my home practice amps (atop a GB Neo212X cab.) They also get the gigs with 2 bands, and when band#2 meets at the drummers house.
At band#1s rehearsal space lives the Ampeg V4B (atop an SLM410.)
