I need to store them anyway, so I decided I might as well hook everything up.
The one on the right. Bought new in 82 and used ever since.
Thanks! I probably should have included the info with the pic.
On the left, from top to bottom:
Top: Selmer Zenith Reverb 50 circa 1968, rebuilt by Csaba Füle (he is a great tube-amp builder / fixer based in Budapest)
Middle: Selmer 2x12" with vintage Celestion speakers (also fixed by CsF) it is sideways
(BTW these two are for guitar, but I used them for bass, when my bass gear was acting up)
Bottom: 1x15" + 2x8" custom made bass cab, by this time you can guess who - yes CsF
On the right, from top to bottom:
Harley Benton practice guitar combo - already sold since the photo was made
Warwick BC10 practice bass combo - I am trying to sell it with not much luck so far
Bugera Veyron T
Hartke HyDrive 410
Hartke HyDrive 115
Below the Hartke cabs is a custom all tube bass amp by CsF. It has been repaired and modded by another amp service guy. Pots had to be changed and he also replaced some pots with switches for contour, lo, hi. He is telling me it is an Ampeg clone/copy, which I would not have guessed. (I make joke.) I don't know exactly which Ambeg, though. I has Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass, Countour, (Ultra) Hi, (Ultra (Lo), Master, StandBy, Lo and Hi inputs, FX Send/Return, XLR out, 8 Ohm and 16 Ohm output. It is driving the bass cabinet on the left.
I'd rather have 15's but cant lift them... These 12's are workhorses. I never thought I would play bass thru 2 12's in an extremely loud band and still hold my own.
Walkabout Scout with 1x12 extension cab.
The pedals have changed a bit bit not the rig.
Not expensive or boutique by any means, but then neither am I!!!!
Hartke head is loud, warm, punchy and clear. Ashdown ABM cabs are just the right balance of low end, clarity and punch.

This one is small...
This one is bigger...
I love them both the same!

My bass rig is currently a mashup of amps/cabs so I can use both bass and guitar without having to take up anymore room while I sort things out going into 2021. My Peavey Mark IV bass amps are both out of commission ATM and wont be serviced anytime soon so I'm playing my bass through a Peavey Windsor tube amp into a Peavey PVH 210 cab.
It works, I just have to be careful with the master volume and preamp gain knobs indoors because even with both set to just under 1 I can feel the floor vibrate a bit from the bass and the volume is right at the acceptable limit if I pluck the strings aggressively.
