Industry Standard Amps

[br1qbat]

I just bought a Gallien-Krueger 800rb off a fellow tb'er. For those not 'in the know' the 800rb was and is considered an industry standard amp. Widely used, widely loved, common in backlines and rentals.

This got me thinking. What other bass amps do you consider industry standards? I don't think there are many.

The only ones I can think of:

- Ampeg SVT (and 8x10). No brainer, probably the preeminent industry standard.
- The GK 800RB mentioned above. ('classic cab pairings: hartke XLs or Ampeg Fridge)
- Fliptop Ampeg combo. Probably the quitesseential 'recording amp'

Is that it??
What say you?

Lol. Must have listed them all then.

Those are the three main ones, I think.

Ampeg SVT-4Pros seem to be pretty common as well, though.

The only other one that springs to mind is the SWR Redhead. Though I think their time has passed.

Thankfully.
