For bass amps, a Fender Rumble 500H, a Fender Rumble 500C, a Behringer Ultrabass BX4210A, a Fender Bronco 40, a Fender B-DEC-30, and a Peavey Minx 110.

For guitar amps, all Fenders, a Mustang V, a Mustang Floor, a Mustang I, a Mustang Mini, a G-DEC3-30, and a G-DEC.

I also have a Fender Passport Mini.

So, I guess that I have 13 total.

Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.0 (gig amp)
tc electronic BH250 (rehearsal amp)
Trace Elliot Velocette (small guitar amp used for bass on "acoustic" gigs)
the "rack rig" is disassembled and being sold off in pieces

plus a couple of guitar amps (Marshall DSL50 and Yamaha solid state)
 
Are you ampless? I was expecting the numbers for ampless players to be higher given how much TBers talk about it.

No way! I am so amped. “This many” is when kids hold up random numbers of fingers and say something else. :)

If I get in that IE group and it’s the only employment on Earth then possibly.

I form my own groups. For one night stands and lasting decades. I play with players that don’t tell people what to do. I play gigs where entire band balances their audio. Amps are part of my instrument. I never get fusses from sound people because I come with a pro attitude with pro gear that makes no noises. I speak to sound people and show respect. I keep saying that sound people smile at soundcheck when they are getting Monique’s DI. Half the time they want to mic me too.

Pre, amp, cab, ohhhhh yeah.
