Is your main bass worth more than your main amp?

[von buck]

The bass that use to be my main bass, a 66 Jazz was worth more than all my amps put together. Since it's semi-retired, my new main bass is a Warmouth parts built 5 string, which is probably equal to my amp (Eden 330 and Bag End 210)

Yeah my Fodera is worth way more than even my Phil Jones rig.

 

[skeptikal]

Nope. My Markbass combo was a little more than my Corvette. 1.5x more.

 

[T.O.Bass]

About the same, $2800 each. Fender custom j - GK1001RBII, 115RBH, 410RBH

Guess I ought to update my last post in this thread. Seeing as how I'm back to using my SX P as primary again for live work, and the new American Standard Fender as backup more often than not, I guess the old Sunn/Ampeg head/cab set up is worth a bit more, even though I paid very little for the head and cab.

In the studio the Vintage P still reigns supreme, so that one is worth quite a bit more than my amps.

 

[LowToneJunky]

well, my main bass is a Tribute L2500 ($600)
my main amp is an Ashdown ABM500 EVO II rackmount on top of an ABM410. (about $1500).

P.S. Oh...and I luuuuuv my tone...

 

[FrigginChris]

my amp/cab set up was more than my bass

 

[Way Off Bass]

all of my basses were $200 or less

my cab was 600, the preamp was 100 (but worth more) and the power amp was 350

I don't know. Something only worth what someone else will give you for it.
I have a restored 69/70 SVT with matching flatback cab.
For a main bass I have a 66 Jazz.

 

[Muusers]

yup, but not by much though

 

[rfclef]

Several times... My Birdsong Corto: About $2200. My Ashdown Electric Blue 180-15" I got for $225 used, but I think they go around $300 new... The Mag deep 210 extension cab I think I got for $175 as a blem. They go for around $300 new.

They sound pretty good together. But my bass sound seven better...

 

[tom once dead]

my new bass will be, when I pay it all off. ESP ltd JM 500 is worth ~$2000 and my marshall rig is only worth ~$1600

 

[Bass Response]

My bass is a Roscoe @ $3200
My amp is a Phil Jones Flightcase @ $1000 (150W combo)

Together they a sa--weet!

 

[seanm]

My main rig is worth just less than three times my main gigging bass.

But it is an unfair comparison since I bought the bass used, and most of the rig was new. And the rig is boutique (EA) while the bass is middle of the road (MIJ Fender).

 

[Surprise Panda!]

no

 

[Pedulla?]

Both of my basses are worth more than my amp.

Pedulla Pentabuzz & Pedulla Rapture> Trace Elliot 1x15

Oh well that just gives me an excuse to buy an awesome rig.

 

[realbadgroove]

My main bass rig is worth more than my car, HA. Aguilar DB680, crown XTI 2000, crest cc 2800, david eden 410 XLT, custom made 2x15 cab with JBL 2226 drivers.

 

[Jehos]

Bass: Ibanez SR-506 - $630 new
Amp: Eden Metro - $1600 new

 

[TheDialog]

My main bass is either a 71' P(paid 1,060--worth more like 3,000), 03' P (paid 750) or 04' J(paid 1000)

My main amp rig is Ampeg 810(x2)(paid 1400 for the pair) with an SVT Classic(1300) and an Aguilar Agro (250)

I would say amp.

I don't know whether that makes it right or wrong. I probably have about equal money all together in basses versus amps. They're both great things to buy and collect!

 

[freeridstylee]

My amp/cabs costs a lot more then my bass

MIM P bass + SD pickup = 250
Mesa Walkabout head = $500
Ampeg SVT 1x15 + 4x10 = $400
