1. '71 Sunn 200s amp bought (took over payments when I replaced a bass player) in '73 in 11th grade for my high school cover band. Still have it, still use it - this pic is from 2014 out in my garage space. Used to use it with a Sunn Coliseum 118 w/ a CerwinVega reflex horn box which I hated. Sold it to friend Joe Preston in '91.
2. Plush cab (sideways w/ TR505 drum machine) w/ 2 Altec 411s that replaced the Sunn 118 . Used it with a Peavey Mark III (busted - out of the pic) for years in cover and original '80s.
3. '74 Sunn Concert head bought from pawn shop '89 for $125.
4. Also bought the Sunn 8028 w/ Transducer 12+18 for $100 around the same time from a DB guy. Bitch to move, but fun cab.
5. Sunn Concert Slave I bought for $80 from a guitar player 'bout the same time, just cuz he didn't want it.
6. Sunn Concert 215 cab rescued '14 off of a burn pile (?????!!!!) at my guitar players house! Free. Loaded it with JBL 2005s @ $50 apiece.
7. The Peavey is my wife's old 3 channel keyboard combo I use for the drum machine, IPod, and laptop.
8. On top of that is a Kalamzoo Model Two an old retired harp player gave me around 2012. Great for Tele!!
9. Crate BX-40 w a 12" got from a keyboard player around '96 - some bass left it at his house. Had issues, so took it to the shop and agreed the $50 I paid in repair was enuff to make it mine. Not a bad amp, 5 band EQ is nice with a bass and treble boost at either end. Good for little coffee shop trio things - can get a decent tone, but not "magic".
10. GK1001rb/210 combo bought used $400 '13 - maybe even on TB - which 'til recently has been my main. LOVE IT! But has been having issues - not sure what to do.
10. GK MBE 410 neo 8Ω ext cab. Nice, LOUD, lightweight - sometimes stack, sometimes run over to other side of stage. One of the few things I ever bought new '14 - $475.
11. Little Park (Marshall) practice amp 12" my wife got me for my birthday '92 when she worked in a music store. It's OK - just use it for headphones - now she uses it in here church to run her little Hammond. She likes it!
12. A Shure Vocal Master PA that was my high school band's when they were the schizz. Bought it from the guitar player '80 for $100. Still works. Have used it a couple of times and that thing sounds really sweet with warm TUBEY goodness! 6 channel - sets up in 5 minutes, but never use it - last used '02 at a bar gig when guitar player forgot his ION Block power cord. Bar was just a few blocks from my house so grabbed the VM. My wife used the VM mixer as her synth stack keyboard mixer '80s before she got the Peavey '90s.
NOT SHOWN:
13. GK Fusion 800 210 combo to replace the 1001. Bought new last year $1300. This pic is from '14, I think.
14. Marshall 412 bass cabinet bought '98 for $100. Never use it. Hate it - Celestion Greenies break up super fast, unusable except with the Sunn 200s med volume. And weighs a friggin ton.
15. TBA 3 channel keyboard combo I use in the house spare bedroom with headphones. Runs bass, keyboard, and laptop for early morning streaming practice.
16. '70s Traynor TS-200 guitar amp I had to rent in '82 right before taking off to play Alaska and my Mark III broke down the day before leaving. ran to the music store "What you got, man?! Need it for 2 months", so by the time the gig was up the rent paid for it at $50/month plus anoter $50 = $150. kids.
I think that's all.
