Name Your 3 Favorite Amps

[cfsporn]

In no order at all
Mesa Walkabout
GK 1001RBII

Aguilar DB680/Crest CA-9

I'm restricting myself to amps I've used in a band setting.

 

[Nighttrain1127]

70's SVT , Sunn/Fender 300, Traynor YBA-300

 

[mouthmw]

1) GK 2001RB - absolute monster in both tone and power, fantastic overdrive channel, THE amp for me

2) GK 700RB II - growl monster, extremely reliable

3) would probably add another GK but I haven't owned any other. Ampeg SVT2 Pro that I used as a backline once was great, my old Ashdown ABM 900 is nice too as is Fender Slimline 300 Bass that I have.

If I had Fusion 550 I'm sure it would jump high on the list, but I doubt anything can move 2001RB from my number 1 spot. Oh and I'd love to try the classic 800RB.

Fender Dual Showman Silverface
Sunn 2000s
1972 Ampeg SVT

I was fortunate to own all of these at the same time:
The Showman had some kind of sweet mojo I never found in any other Fender Showman or other Fender models. Funny, I can't remember why I sold it. Man do I wish I had it now.
The Sunn filled the power and weight gap between the Fender and the Ampeg and had its famous signature sound.
B-15 would have been up there but the SVT served me faithfully for 10 years of hard road use without a problem.

I only get three (3)? Dang.

1) G-K Fusion 550
2) G-K 800RB/Ampeg V4-B
3) Sunn 2000S/Vintage Ampeg SVT

Snuk two more in on ya.

I have three... There's the early 60's Fender Bassman, The old acoustic's from the 70's blue face with the graphic EQ, And one regular guitar amp I've seen it once in a great while it shaped like the Danelectro Hodad Miniature amp. Sort of triangular. But there was an amplifier made with an almost exact replica of the general shape. The one I saw in person was a sea foam green and was about three feet tall... God I'd Love to have one of those...

I only have two. Naturally, they are two that I own.

GK 1001 RB-II
Traynor YBA 200-2

I've had the GK so long, I can't remember when I bought it. Got the Traynor a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely loving it.

The G-Ks are still in use, the Hartke is long gone.

Name Your 3 Favorite Amps:

I call them Moe, Larry, and Curly.

Moe is an SVT. Larry always backs up Moe, he's a V4B. Curly likes to play bass with his friend Harpo but most of the time he plays the fool. Curly is a B-15N.
