How many amps do you guys own?

[Altitude]

Mesa D-800 or a GK MB-Fusion into two Audiokinesis Changeling 1x12 cabinets. Fantastic sounding rig with either head, but I never use it outside of my house.

My only play-out gig is an all-IEM band; I use a Radial Bassbone DI for that.

 

[Crackle]

1. Sansamp RBI preamp paired with a Crown XLS 1000 through two cabinets -- an Avatar B210 Neo and B212 Neo.

2. TC Electronic BG250-115 combo. I use this most often.

3. TC Electronic BQ500 head through an Ashdown CL-310-DH cabinet.

4. Marshall B30 combo (practice amp).

5. Orange Crush 25 combo (practice amp).

 

[bigdaddybass12]

Not too much, rumble 100 for practice, TC head, peavey tour 400 head, 2x10 cab and a 1x12 cab

 

[DivisionLocal]

Just one: Fender Rumble 500 + VT Bass preamp.

 

[Tommy Sparks]

3 heads and two combos.
Orange ad 200 (in black) soon to come.

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.

2 x Yamaha EMX2s & an EMX5 into EVs.
2 x Yamaha 10" active.

A Fender guitar amp.

Bass guitarist and PA guy but now retired from regular gigging. I still like owning gear.

 

[Thumpin6string]

2, my 90s Eden WT400 and my 80s A.M.P. 220.

 

[OkayistBassist]

I have 2 Ampeg PF-800’s, both each driving a PF-210HE and PF-115HE. I split my signal, so wanted to have identical heads and cabs for each.

Special shout-out to my Peavey Microbass that was my very first amplifier. I still have it almost 23 years later as my practice amp. I’ll never get rid of it!

 

[squish]

Cinco
1. Mesa Subway WD-800 - lightweight primary gig amp
2. Mesa Subway D-350 - lightweight backup/rehearsal amp
3. Ampeg SVT-II - heavy all tube monster for special occasions
4. Peavey Max 110 - family room jammer
5. Gorilla GB-20 - my first bass amp sitting in my kid's room that's mostly unused

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

The list:

1. Fender Rumble 40 combo - occasionally used for practice, but I mostly do silent practice through computer headphones these days
2. Fender Rumble 100 combo - Small gigs and with one band, it is my stage monitor.
3. Fender Rumble 500 head - Backup for gigs where I take a full rig
4. Fender Bassman 500 Hybrid - I seldom use this amp anymore since I bought a 100T. It is a good amp. I've been using it while the 100T is in the shop.
5. Fender Bassman 100T - Main amp for larger venues. I love (x3) tube amps. I'm picking it up from the shop today. Turns out a previous owner tried to do some pot cleaning, but didn't do it correctly. My tech spent a lot of time cleaning up the amp professionally.

[MegaSwing]

They just kept propagating. I don’t know. They were all excellent deals.

 

[groovepump]

Quilter BB802, TC Elect BAM200, Parts-built Ampeg BA210 Head, Ampeg BA108, and some small POS amp that I aquired over the years, I forget the brand. never use it. Oh yeah, I forgot the BA108 parts-built practice amp I use every weekend to practice the set list at home. Used primarily as a headphone amp with instument and AUX inputs.

 

[BucketOfFish]

Sunn Model T (Super, aka 2nd Gen.)
Sunn 200s
Sound City B150
Ampeg B25B
Ampeg B15N
Traynor YBA-1

The above are all early 70's.
I like toobz and tinkering!

Kustom KXB500. Much easier to carry!
I plan to move the top three eventually.

The Traynor 45W YBA-1 is my go-to guitar amp for getting my kicks. I have added a master volume (Lar/Mar), a few other minor tweaks and added attenuating devices into a couple of guitar cabs. Of course the two Ampegs also perform admirably in that role.

Then there are the guitar amps...

 

[Jogobass]

Just the one. Ain't got room for more an it has served me well for 20 years already.

Tech Soundsystems Para amp 500
with a Ampeg 1x15 cab

Although I might be looking at something new because there have been improvements on bass amps in the past 20 years or so..

 

[funkinbottom]

Three for me.(not counting cabs)

Acoustic Image Clarus SL
Markbass LM ll
Trace Elliott Elf

 

[Blue Moose]

Three for me (although rig 1 and 2 share the same cab).

#1: GK 400RB through 1x15 GK cab
#2: TC Bam200 through 1x15 GK Cab
#3: Rumble 100

I always use a VT Bass pedal which stays on all the time. So my tone really doesn't vary much from amp to amp, I just grab the one that's the right size to suit the gig.

 

[KidAmnesia]

I have one bass amp and ona guitar amp. Bass amp (a cheap 60 w 1x12 combo that sounds pretty decent and has more than enough volume for what I need it for) is in my brother's house where we rehearse, at home I play with the guitar amp, a 1x12 tweed deluxe clone. I just love how that tube amp sounds at low volume.
