With your location being in Wycombe I suspect that like me you're a fan of vintage British tube amps. These are often amazing for bass even if they're labelled as "All Purpose" or "PA" or whatever. As long as it's got a hi-z input and suitable speaker outputs (ohms) for a bass cab it's easily as good as the bass-specific models IMO. Manufacturers like Hiwatt, Selmer, Carlsbro, Simms-Watts, Orange/Matamp, Watkins/WEM, Sound City, Laney... Lots of bargains to be found even today, as long as you avoid the expensive guitar/bass-specific models (which are also great amps of course but some of them outrageously expensive, especially for the "cooler" stuff like vintage Hiwatt, Orange/Matamp). I still dream of the Simms-Watts 200w "POW" PA-head that I stupidly sold years ago. One the best bass amps I'be ever owned.

you are correct again! I have 2 Elgens 1 carlsboro and 1 laney.
The laney is a 100 super pa. It’s the loudest of all my valve amps.
Massive partridge transformers and runs 600v on the plates
It melts the screen grids of modern EL34 so I have upped the screen grids and am currently running KT77 in it. I would love to know how many watts it actually puts out.
I plan to run the power stage from an Ampeg PF350.
I would love that’s Sims Watts

One solid state: Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 with two 10” cabs. Waiting on my back ordered tube amp: Ampeg Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT to hook up to my lonely fridge.

 

[MegaSwing]

I currently have 7 heads and 7 cabs, but I recently sold off two 2x10 combos, so I’m making progress.

 

[Nephilymbass]

I only have a mesa d-800 and the subway 115 cab these days. I use pedals or DIs if I want something different or just need a backup.

 

[butterfingers1]

Three Traynor combos, 200W 112, 200W 115, 800W 115.

The two small ones form a stack using a Radial Bigshot signal splitter ABY pedal. The big one is stacked on a Traynor 115 cabinet.

Both stacks have Broughton HPF/LPF and SVpre pedals. The power, clarity and articulation are the summit of my playing since 1980.

 

[Andy Marshman]

Finally got down to 2 amps. I haven't used a tube amp for 15 years.
Rumble 100 and Yorkville XM50 for home and practice place.
For gigs, I use an original SABDDI into the PA.

 

[DaveParker39]

I've lost count, I can see 5 from here

 

[johniecid]

Bass
Fender Super Bassman + Fender Neo 610 Cab
Fender Rumble 40
Blackstar Amplug2 Fly Bass
Ampeg SVT-112AV Cab (bought to use under the head in smaller places but don't use it ever so probably will sell)

Guitar
Orange OR15 + Orange OBC212 Cab
1971 Fender Twin Reverb


I haven't tried to the OR15 into the Ampeg cab yet... I may do that before selling the Ampeg. See how that sounds as a low watt tube solution.

 

[r_bnks]

Just my 800RB, I don't need anything else.

 

[Relsom]

Ashdown ABM500 III
Ashdown CTM30
Mesa D800
3X Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2
Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2

 

[ChetChetney]

I own 2 amps.
1) 1966 Ampeg B15 NF
2) Bergantino B Amp

Both are great amps and used for different applications

 

[BobDeRosa]

2 heads (Aguilar and Rumble), 2 cabs (Markbass and Rumble), 3 combos (2 Rumble and a Markbass)

 

[chris_b]

I own an Aguilar TH500 (10 years) and AG700 (8 years) both D class, and an SS Thunderfunk 750 (12 years).

Many amps have come and gone. These three are what they are judged against.

Currently 5 cabs, but I did briefly peak at 8. All Barefaced.

 

[Krakmann]

Salud!

Sans-amp solutions aside, a 112 cab+MarkBass IV as main amp, a 210+GR mini as backup (not bought as such, they are pieces I've been outgrowing/replacing) and a Rumble 15 for playing in the living room or the odd rehearsal at flats.
