Name Your 3 Favorite Amps

Traynor YBA200 (winged logo, 6550 power tubes and autobias) - I've heard the horror stories but I've had nothing but awesome reliable tubeyness
Fender Rumble combos (all) - does exactly what it says on the box, rock solid reliable
TC Electronic combos (all) - feature-packed, lightweight, bang-for-buck

I'm a fan of the iron and the glass, so:

Fender Super Bassman 300
Ampeg B-15n blue line
Ampeg SVT blue line

Honorable mention: 65 Ampeg SB-12 = best recorded tone I've ever had. Shouldn't have traded it for the B-15n.
 
-Line6 Lowdown HD400

I know the last one might be crazy. I've had this amp head for 6 years now and it never failed me. Previously, I had a Line6 LD400 combo and I sold it because I was going to head+cab and I bought the Line6 head. I can get really cool sounds from it. Call me crazy, but I love this head
I'm right with you on that one. They're so versitile and feature-full (I hate anything on the floor), and dirt cheap I assume 'cause digital is uncool or sumfin...

I gigged the crap out of my HD400, then got a mint 750-watter from GC used for $200. :thumbsup:

And ~20lbs isn't heavy for me-- I sold my GK MB500.
