Now were getting serious :woot:!
 
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 own a Trace Elliot 1210 combo from early in the Peavey era.

I currently have it out of the combo enclosure and powering my Mesa PH-1000 cab.

I plan taking this rig if I need a HUGE amp, putting the amp back into the 2X10 cab combo enclosure for a "medium" gig and taking only my Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live modeling multi-fix/preamp pedal if there's backline or if I can avoid using an amp for whatever reason.
 
Eden WT600, SWR Studio 220. Not my photos and no I will not tell you what they weigh.

I've had as few as one and as many as 4 or 5. I would love to have 2-3, but I'm currently down to a single combo and a project 810 cab. The results of having our first child and living in a relatively small home have forced my hand.

Ideally I'd own a single 2x12 combo and a couple 1x12 or 2x12 cabs paired with a Class D head for backup, then have an all-tube head that sits and home for me to jam on when I want.

I have accumulated a lot of gear over many years. These are the ones that reside in my bass space now. It's pretty much Tonehammer all the time. And I have two cats.

Living in Alaska, it's hard to find a bargain, but I've managed over the years. The worst part is the ever escalating cost of shipping.

Peavey Silverfin Microbass Vintage Collection
Peavey Silverfin KB20 keyboard combo Vintage Collection
Peavey Silverfin Bandit guitar amp Vintage Collection
Peavey Silverfin Stereo Chorus 108 Vintage Collection
Peavey Silverfin Minx bass combo Vintage Collection
Peavey Silverfin Basic 40 bass combo Vintage Collection

I keep an eye on eBay, Reverb, and GC online used. If I find an incredible bargain on a Peavey Silverfin, I will buy it. Although the amps are heavy, they still sound great and their construction is all-American!

GK MB108 living room
GK MB200 backup amp
GK MB500 main amp
Eden EX110 x 2 main indoor/outdoor cabs
DNA DNS112 clone by LowDown Sound, my latest acquisition that sounds amazing

I forgot to mention: 1 x Marshall micro half stack :laugh:

3, but I plan to sell the Fender Rumble 40 w combo and the Darkglass microtubes 500 because they don’t do it for me. I’ll keep the Ashdown cmt 30 Little Stubby and Mesa 1x12 cab. I’m thinking about the Ampeg pf50t and/or Fender 100T once I sell off the other stuff.
