Iconic bass amp in the 60's was the blackface Fender Bassman amp - 50-watt with 2x12 cabinet. I bought one in 1966 which was the first amp I bought. Had to trade it in on a much more powerful amp in 1971, when I was touring in a nightclub group. The rest of the group bought more powerful amps and buried my poor Bassman so I had to buy a more powerful amp. Repalced it with a Standel Solid State amp with a ported 215 cab that was just superb. Standel was not hardly a well known brand though - definitely in the boutique class.
In about 1976 Eden, which had been making PA equipment started making bass gear. Their WT400 was their big claim to fame and then the dual power-block WT800. I currently use an Eden WT500 that was upgraded to 800 watts bridged before I bought it from David Nordschow after he left Eden. In the late 70's and certainly in the 80's Eden could be called iconic, especially their WT800.
