List the amps you've gigged with

#83
Started with a nasty Aria Loco head/cab in 1985.

Bi-amped the Aria with a truly abysmal Calrsbro Cobra 90 Combo from 1988 to 1989. (shudder).

Added a Trace Elliot AH100 head and kept the Aria and Carlsbro speakers for a few months in 1989.

Replaced the nasty speakers with a Laney AOR 4x10 and 1x15 (with the Trace Elliot head) late in 1989 and have used that set up EVER SINCE. (My last gig was only a week ago).

That's over 20 years with one rig. Beat that !

i bought a crate bx-25 for i think 60$at a used elecrtonics store...if you mean "gigged with" as in having played in livingrooms of apartments i have moved into all over the state then i qualify!!!!!anyway i think it jams loud enough to annoy the neighbors so.......id be embarassed to show for a gig with slayer with it but for my backyard jams its great..i also plug into an old ratt pro-co distortion pedel i found in a moldy box about to go to the dump...threw the box on the truck and....oh...what was that that just went tumbling?put in a 9 volt and jammed!!!!!!score!!! and that amps up my sound noticably and provides me with a wicked distortional rendition of the star spangled banner...so......:bassist:

I'll miss 1 or 2, but here goes: not in perfect order, either:
Fender Bassman 100/412 pyramid (borrowed, alot)
GK 400RB/lots of different cabs
Peavey ??/Fender BXR Spectrum (210.118)
Crate BXL160/Crate 215
Ampeg BA500 210/SVT18
Ampeg SVT 6Pro/ Mesa Deisel 215
Ampeg V4BH/ SVT 410he, or SVT 210/115
Ampeg SVT cl/ Peavey 412
Mesa Walkabout/Epifani UL212, or Genz Benz Uber 212, or Scout 12 for acoustic gigs
Mesa Bass Buster 200 210/ Mesa Deisel 215, (the same one)

That's most of it, and it's mostly gone, save for the Walkabout and Buster for heads, and the Deisel 215 and GB Uber 212 for cabs.
