What amp do you use to practice?

[JMDT]

I use a Orange Crush 35B to practice at home. Decent amp, but not great. What amp do you guys use to practice and what are your thoughts about it?

Right now... Traynor yba 200 and an ampeg svt410he
kinda over kill, but smaller then my 8x10 rig tho

 

[RickenBoogie]

I have, and have had several small combo amps, but use them only for acoustic jamming away from the house. At home, I use my V4BH head, with 210/115 cabs. When I play alone, I need all the sweet tone I can generate.

Fender Rumble 100. Great sound out of a (relatively) cheapo amp, IMO. Got it from a friend who got it from a friend, paid $100 for it.

For just quiet practice: My Ampeg BA-112 which sounds pretty nice especially with my Fretless.

Line 6 Toneport.

If I am having a motown day I pick the good ol' SVT.

If I am having a rock day I pick the good ol' SVT

If I am having a slap happy day I pick the Eden setup.

50 bucks and all of the effects and types of amps you could want.

I have a fender bassman 60 in my room. Nothing special, just my first amp. I keep my bigger stuff outside in my studio.

Whichever one happens to be set up. Lately it's my 77 B-15N. I don't believe in practice amps, but I do believe in small amps that you can use to practice.

A. Eden/Nemesis N8 or Tascam CD Trainer for late night run through of new tunes.

B. Eden WTX260 + D112XLT or 210XST.

C. '73 Ampeg B-15N fliptop.

My First post:

Hi there - Have been lurking for a wile.....
But now I post.....

I am using a Roland Bass Cube - nice clean sound – surprisingly deep considering the small speakers….

Fun effects too….

[Davo-London]

I practice through my laptop via a Tascam US122 and the listen with sennheiser headphones. I use Logic.

[FrigginChris]

i use a gk700rbII and a mesa powerhouse 1x12 cab

 

[johnk_10]

i use a 1966 bassman.

 

[lowend1]

Most of the time it's an Ampeg B50R and B100R with a tube preamp in front - mainly cause they're in the room with the guitars. I jokingly refer to my '72 SVT rig as "the world's largest practice amp" because I don't take it out of the house anymore.

 

[parsons]

I practice at our studio. So I use my live rig.

SWR SM-400s / Tech 21 RBI through SVT410HE and SVT115

 

[rpsands]

Bass pod into headphones, or my normal rig if it's a full band practice

 

[Jazzman]

For practice at home I use a Cafe Walter HA-1 headphone amp. It allows me to hear everything I do...good and bad. I feel this unit is a priceless practice tool.

 

[vcs700s]

I usually practice through my Roland Bass Cube 30 or my Roland Micro Cube Bass RX. Great tone and fun effects. Plenty loud too.

 

[MellowTone]

Agreed with JimmyM, whichever one happens to be set up.

I've got a Fender Rumble 100 combo, but I'll mostly practice thorugh the rig I've (almost) got now.

 

[radec52]

I use a Fender Bassman 150 which is a pretty versatile small amp for my purposes.
