1 bass amp Genz-Benz Contour 500 2x10 with 1X15 ext.cab.

3 guitar amps
1. Fender Deville 60 watt 4x10
2. VHT/ FREYETTE Deliverance 60 watt KT88 2X12 FAT CAB.
3. VOX portable battery/AC 20 watt amp.

But before the year is over I'm getting a Genzler Magellan 800 NU 2X12.
 
Bass amp.

Only 3 now:
Acoustic Image Clarus Series 4 head - Class D
Acoustic Image Coda Combo (Series III non removable ) - Class D
Mesa Boogie Bass 400 - All Tube (This is the not so common 6550 power tube )

I have given my SWR 350 Class AB to my bud but I rehearse there regularly

I do have a Jay Ganz power amp module 400 watt - Class D as well as Peavey 50/50 stereo power amp that can be bridged mono at 100 watts and also a Fryette PS-II 50 watt tube - variable reactive load + power amplifier I did not add them to the bass amp count, since they can also be used as guitar amps


Guitar amps (I only have tube amps )- I did not put it in the count

Mesa Boogie Mark IV combo
Mesa Boogie Studio 22 combo
Fender Princeton Reverb
Mesa Boogie Blue Angel head
Frenzel DP 25 amp head
Fender Champ XD
 
4 (in descending order of size):
Handbox R400 (with 2 ohm mod)--main gigging head
Euphonic Audio Doubler--head in practice space, used with upright and el. bass
Trace Elliot Elf--lives in gig bag
Quilter Interbass--lives in pocket of cab cover, has been used for many gigs, some of them loud. Never run out of volume.
For cabs, I have 3 Euphonic Audio Wizzy M-Lines (all 4-ohm)
90% of the time I use one of them. Outdoors without PA backup, I use two. One resides in practice space, one in my study, and the third on my gear trolley.
