Lead Sled Appreciation Thread

[JimiLL]

In light of all the recent postings if whether light weight or heavy weight amps perform better, I decided to start a new club dedicated to the sound, use, and ownership of heavy weight amplifiers. PA power amps, SS and tube bass amps included.

PICTURES NOT ONLY TOLERATED, BUT ENCOURAGED!

Ill take # 1

Korg tuner
dbx 1066 compressor
ampeg svp pro
swr grand prix
Carvin dcm 1500
Furman power strip in back

I'm in for #2 with a Buster 200.

Is a Peavey CS-800 heavy enough? If so count me in........

Also got a 69 SVT not pictured but this should do it:

Of course, I also own plenty of micro amps and a couple very inexpensive but nice practice amps. I like it all from the highest highs to the lowest of the low

'69 SVT and Heritage 810 recovered to match.

I guess the Crest CA6 is the heaviest I gig with, at around 40lbs. I do have a couple of CA9's in storage, and I think an 11 also.

I like the amp, but hate the weight!

Fender Super Bassman and either a Bergantino NV412 or two Ampeg 212AVs for me please

That rig is pretty much as good as it gets, I suppose...

My Acoustic 320 and 810e

My other amp is a LH500, with an Aims Producer on the way.

No lightweights for me.

My Peavey Classic 400/NV610 rig:
At 97lbs, It's gotta be right up there as one of the most diabolically heavy bass heads ever made.

 

[BassOnTheSide]

Still love me "big iron"

 

[pickles]

I have owned all the light stuff. This stuff sounds better and I dont mind the carry.

 

[giacomini]

I have an Aguilar AG 500 and a couple of 115 cabs. 18 lbs for a class D amp is pretty heavy

 

[Luckydog]

Like others, I have big stuff as well as little stuff. SVT's of all types, V4's, B1500..., but last couple years have been steadily gigging TH500 or GB shuttle. Its not that I can't lift the big stuff...I can, its just that I prefer the lower hassle I get from the smaller stuff, and I can find my volume and tone easily.

Pic makes me smile

Okay, I'm in.

I think 90 lbs. for the head and 160 for the cab should qualify this:

And here's my lightweight solid state rig:

There's no replacement for iron. I love transformers...

 

[cfsporn]

I have a Mesa Walkabout and a GK 1001RBII. Do those count?
