How many amps do you guys own?

[scott sinner]

A GK that I got used in 1994. It still works but the pots are scratchy and I feel like I shouldn't try to gig it at its age. It is in retirement except for recording.

A newer GK Legacy that sounds very very close to the old one.

 

[Frodolicious]

Markbass LMT 800, and Strymon Iridium for my at home practicing

 

[baileyboy]

I currently have a 1-8 Fender Rumble for learning songs and home practice, a 1-15 Ampeg B3 for rehearsals, and two Mesa Walkabout heads, used interchangeably for gigging.

 

[amoodymule]

Fender Rumble 40
Fender Rumble 200
Carvin BX500h which goes into a Fender BXR 1-15" cab,
and/or a Fender V2 Rumble 1-12" cab
in which either cabs can be used with the Rumble 200

 

[shastaband]

Currently have eight:

Mesa D800
Mesa WD800
Eden WT405
Eden WTX260
Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0-10T
Fender Rumble 500

4 at the time of this post

5-watt Hotone Thunder: Great for practicing at home and drives a 210 cab nicely. Immensely better option than most low-watt combo amps.
300-watt Ibanez Promethean: Light, compact backup for gigs
300-watt Mesa Boogie MPulse Walkabout: Main go-to for band practice and gigs
500-watt Hartke LH500: Was my main amp until I changed cab configuration. It's a bit wide/deep to perch on top a vertical 210 stack. I should probably sell...or keep if I need to break out the 410.

 

[Skullheadrac]

Ampeg Micro SVT
Ampeg SVT CL
Ampeg SVT VR
Ampeg V5
2 Ampeg V4bs (both 70s)
Ampeg SVT 7pro

all get used, but admittedly not enough.

 

[Rebel Rocker]

More than I need but....... I am starting to cut back and move some stuff out.
Mesa D800+
Mesa WD800
Mesa TT800
Ampeg PF500
Ampeg Svt 3 Pro*
Ampeg SVT 7 Pro
Ampeg V4B
Fender Rumble 500 Amp*
Carvin BX500*
Peavey Headliner 1000*

The ones with the asterisk will be moving out soon. I hope.

Two:

Mesa D-800 and a Rumble 500 head.
The Mesa is my gigging amp. The Rumble is a backup and I use it for noodling around and practicing at home.

4. A rubbish little SoundKing 20w practice amp, which was my first.
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Then upgraded to a Fender Rumble 60w combo (the old one, with the strip of red LEDS across the bottom).

They saw me through my teenage years, then I moved out and went to university. Got an Eden Nemesis EN8jr, which is a 25w practice amp and one of the best amps I've ever heard. Still own it.

I had an Ashdown Tone Man 300w head and matching 410 cab, didn't like it. Too dark and muffled sounding.

Replaced/upgraded during lockdown (when all the deals were on for music gear) with an Eden TN501 500w head and matching 410 cab, which is brilliant. Best sounding amp I've heard.

So one practice amp and one performance amp in two locations = four total.

Peace,

Have only one for the past couple years, down from four.
Marshall JCM800 Superbass 100w with EL-34 tubes. Sounds great with guitar or bass.
Love the tone, very quiet (no fan). Ness factor. Sadly, very heavy and unbalanced to carry.
Play through 2 1x10 Ampeg portabass cabs loaded with eminence drivers.

My two other favorite amps in the past were a Marshall DBS 7200 and a Sunn 300T with 6x6550s through EBMM Audiophile 2x12 and 2x10 cabs.

Amazing tone but rig weighed 240 lbs.

 

[Gluvhand]

Three
1) Tech21 VT 500
2) Peavey VB-2
3) Ashdown MiBass 2.0

 

[Jim Kernan]

1 Ampeg PF-500 with a B Series 115 cab stays at rehearsal space
2 Traynor SB115 not seeing much use
3 Mesa Subway WD 800 with a Mesa Subway 115

 

[jdwinva]

I have 2 amps..

80's Demeter VTBP-201 (1.5 U) with a Demeter Minnie power amp module installed by James Demeter (800 watts) - this is my #1 amp and essentially a copy of Lee Sklar's amp.
Aguilar AG-700 - backup and small gig amp

 

[Cory rich40]

Ampeg SVT vr with SVT heritage HLF 410.
Ampeg SVT 1000 solid state head
Traynor YBA200 head
Fender bassman 500 head with fender rumble 410 and rumble 115
Fender rumble 800 head

 

[groovaholic]

2 amps:
1) GK 700RB-II
2) GK MB800

I've been using a 700RB-II as my main amp for 8 years now, but this particular one is the 3rd that I've owned.
I sold the first one when I got a GK Fusion 550, I bought the second one off Craigslist, and the current one was in a 115 combo, but was electronically better (pots hadn't been flushed with DeOxIt) so I swapped it with #2 and sold the combo.

The MB800 was a recent used purchase from Guitar Center that I've played for EVERYTHING since I got it; I wanted to make sure that if it was going to die, it would die during my 45-day return window. But it's solid, light, massively powerful, and sounds great.

I toy around with the idea of getting a second lightweight amp, but I think I've learned that I need to keep the 700RB-II regardless...and I'm not gigging enough to need a 3rd amp.

 

[ga_edwards]

I put 1, but technically I have 0. I am ampless now and only play through a line 6 Helix.

Same here. I don't think my Headrush frfr speaker counts as a bass amp. Even my Blackstar Core ID BEAM is pushing the definition of "bass amp" as it's a multipurpose device.

4

 

[Matt Dean]

I own two... both Mesa Boogies - a WD800 and a TT800. One is a back up to the other.

 

[KevInDaBassment]
