:POLL: What amp setup do you own?

[Ronzo]

Main Rig (large rehearsal spaces and gigs):
G-K 400RB head
Avatar B210 (used all the time)
Avatar B115 (used most of the time)
dbx 266 Compressor (used about half the time, on high-volume gigs)

Small Rig (small rehearsal spaces, Church, or small, quiet gigs):
Hartke B60 combo
dbx 266 Compressor (used occasionally)

The G-K/Avatar rig is smooth, punchy, and it kicks. Very musical EQ; I can dial in my sound in a room very quickly.

The lil' Hartke has a really nice sound for a small 1x12 sealed-back setup. Good control structure, too. I like the shape control a lot. Not that powerful, but surprising. It'll give you a pretty good shot in the chest for 60 watts solid-state.

The compressor in both cases is set as a hard peak limiter for speaker protection and as a noise gate. I usually don't compress a whole lot to smooth the sound out; I like a fair amount of dynamic range. The G-K excels at that.

I had the good fortune to get one of the last available brit made Trace-Elliot Combos. It has the 12 band EQ,
300w (with an added speaker cab) high and low band comp., a valve channel, 4 Celestion 10's, and a Foster horn. This thing is a tone monster!! It is somewhat heavy at 105 lbs. and since there are no wheels on it I've gotten a small cart which does the job. For practicing at home I use a Fender Bassman 25 with one 10. It is a nice solid little amp for the money and your neighbors won't hate you.

I use the "Other" category...I run a Gallien Kruegar 700RB Head and the GK 4x10 and 1x15...I love it!! It's Bi-amped and I get plenty of tone out of it!

 

[Reverend G-Money]

SWR bass 350 (for power), SansAmp Bass Driver DI (for tone), and Nemesis 4x10. pretty rockin rig for the music i play, although i could always use more power

 

[Tritone]

Mesa M-2000 head, Boss GT-6B in the loop,Mesa road ready 2x10 and 4x10...I run the FET side for finger-style, and the Tube side for slap,mix mode kicks in the effects loop.

I guess I'll throw mine in.

When i voted on this post back in the day when it was first posted; i checked Fender. Since I had a Fender Bassman 100 and still do.

But now i use for my main rig:
Hartke 3500
Avatar 4x10
Avatar 1x15

So now it would be other.

 

[jazza42uk]

Trace GP12SMX pre-
Zoom RFX2000 FX
Alesis Quadraverb FX
SoundTech 2x400w power-
2x Peavey 410TXF cabs

My osteopath is making a fortune out of it.

 

[John Davis]

Right now: Crate BX-50 Combo Amp and a Hartke Transporter 4x10 cab.


I'm getting a new head soon, though.

Although I was planning to buy an ampeg or get a QSC with a pre, I ended up buying an amp this weekend that I did not expect to get. I just bought a used Hartke 5000 to mathc up with my new Avatar B210 and B115. This is a loud rig that works well for my current uses. THe Hartke is a bit noisy, but I'll be using this only for our louder gigs, so that is not a problem.

 

[srbguitar]

Right now i just have a GK 800 RB that i got for my birthday/Christmas/my money going straight into the P.A. (i'm only 15 years old) but i just got a job and saving for a Hartke 215,410,210. but thats gonna take forever

 

[RevGroove]

First in the signal chain after my Spector NS2000/5 is a Digitech BP200 Modelling Bass Processor. From there I plug into a Yorkville Bass Master BM400 combo, and for larger venues and outdoor shows I go from there into a BC210 cabinet.

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Hartke HA5000
SWR Workingman 2X10
SWR Workingman 1X15

 

[HannibalSpector]

I use two different amps depending on situation.

Hiwatt dr103 with either 2x12"eminence alnico or 4x12"300w marshall
or
Intersound IVPpreamp (edens of the 70s!) dual channel 2 outputs + DI
ARX ss1200vc 600watts a side @ 4ohm
Audio Design 3 way active crossover (bridge high and mids)
15" JBL sub
4x10" quad with P audio drivers (chinese JBLs) They're fine!! $80 US for 4 .Haven't blown em up yet

cheers

Hartke 7000 -> {Eden CXM-110 (450HZ+), Acme low-B-2W (450HZ-)}. I like the sound.

I'm looking at getting a used SWR SM-400s or SM-500 because the Hartke is very heavy. I also just bought a Yamaha PB-1 preamp cheap on eBay just to try it out.
