Only a few amps in my 30 years of gigging:

81-83 Homemade 50 watt head + homemade 1 x 12 cab
83-85 Randall 150? watt head + double W bin with 2 x 12's ( that thing moved so much air it was like standing in front of a fan)
85 HH 100watt head + EV TL 1 x 15 cab
85-92 Alamo tube head + homemade 1 x 15 cab
92-10 Fender BXR 300 + Peavey 1810 cab
10-? Hartke LH1000 + 2 x 410XL cabs
 
#130
Some Squier crappy combo. Played it for a few years as my only amp. It was awful. Broken in the garage.

SG combo. Biggest combo in the world. Really weird old ratty tube 115 + 210 combo covered in what looked like denim. It was awesome, but had to give it back as it wasn't mine.

Rogue 115 combo. Better than the squier but really honky sounding. At the rehearsal space, basically spare equipment.

Ampeg SVT-350H, through an ampeg SVT-15E, later through that and an Ashdown Mag 210. That amp rocked. Head was sold to finance another amp (the mesa). Going to be selling the Ashdown soon.

I've also gigged my Mesa D-180, though just with the ampeg 1x15.
 
#131
Wow... History time.

Riviera combo w/ 1x12
Courier, 2 2x12 cabs
Traynor Bassmaster, 1x15 cab
Traynor Custom, 8X10 cab
Ampeg SVT, 2 8X10 cabs
Acoustic 360, 2 1x18 cabs
IVP Preamp, dbx comp, Bryston 4B, 4 2x15 cabs

Then a hiatus for several years.

GK 7000 RB 15 combo
Eden WT-550, 210XLT cab

Then I added the 210XST cabs, and tried 3 different 800C's that all failed, and then a 1205, which I traded in for the Aguilar DB750. I haven't used the XLT cb for a long time now. I find I get plenty of punch from the others, and I don't really need it.

Peavey Centry 100 w ith a homeade 1x15 cabinet with a JBL - My first bass amp, didnt last long
70's Ampeg B-15 - We had this at my high school -used it every day for years
Fender Bassman with 4 6L6 Tubes and a fender 2 15 cabinet. - Used to get electrical shocks regularly with that one.
Acoustic 270 guitar amp and Acoustic 2x15 cabinet. I didnt use the Fuzz switch.
I commandered the band's Peavey PA head for a while along with my Acoustic 2x15. I think this actually sounded pretty good at the time.
Acoustic 320. With A PMC 1x15 and 2x10 cabinet. My first "real" bass amp, or so I thought.
AMP BH420 with a Trace Elliot 4x10. THis was a great setup and I played hundreds of gigs with it for 20 years now. I still have the BH420 and use it as my backup and when I dont feel like toting my rack around.
Eden WT800 and Epifani T-212. Great cabinet but the Eden didnt match well with it.
Aguilar DB 429 (?) Preamp and a Crown K2 powering the Epifani. Tons of power. Great rig
Aguilar DB 750 w/ Epifani T 2x12 - My fave so far.
I bought a TC Electronics 2 12 cab and tried it with the Aggie DB 750 - Did not work well at all. I tried the TC Cab with the AMP BH 420 sounded great.....
