What tube amp do you play?

[Smooth_bass88]

I see less and less bands using tube amps for bass!! So we are becoming a select club... So what tube head do you use?

I have a Dynacord BA300 (150 watts RMS), a Multitone 200 deluxe (8x el34) and a Schaller V35 for homepractice... (35 watts).

And what cabinet do you use along with it?

I have this thing called SVT, or something, from some company called Amp-peg or something? I guess a lot of people like them, or something?

2 rig setup here:
The clean signal goes to a Dynacord Eminent II and through an Acoustic 301.
The dirty signal goes to a MusicMan HD 130 and through an Ampeg Isovent.

I have an Isovent too, and like it a lot for smaller gigs. My SVT is a little much for it, but my 3Pro is just about right...

Right, cause you need another tube amp.

Cool kit overload.

I've never tried a Studio Bass, but have heard many compliments about its tone. The SIMMS is just too cool for school.

 

[xrockstrongox]

SVT-2 Pro through an Ampeg PR410HLF. It's more than I deserve, but man does it sound sweet!

About a year after I purchased the Reeves Custom 225, I just had to get one of deeze!


Reeves Custom Jimmy 50 & OS 2X12 Cab.

While I was waiting for the Reeves to ship, I stumbled onto this.

1964 Supro Vibro-Verb 10"+ 15"

Museum Clean.

The only amp I own that is not hand wired is my 90's USA Fender Blues Deluxe,

I have 2 amps 50 years old and one 49 years old and they all work perfectly.
If something goes wrong with any of them, all can easily be repaired for decades
to come.

I bought a '75 V4B in '76. It was the last tube amp I needed to buy (though I did sneak a blackface
Bassman in there for a while - then sold it to the guitarist). I don't take the Ampeg out much any more but it's still a thrill whenever I do!

 

[spiritbass]

You just gotta love an amp named "Jimmy"...

I really dig that Supro - it looks to have been very well-preserved!

[pandakeepfit]

Ampeg V4BH (favorite tone of the three)
Fender Bassman 135 (don't know the year, any tip on how to get it?)
Marshall JCM 800 (just testing it now on bass)

all thru an Ampeg 810

 

[MrPierre]

I use an Ampeg V4B with a Sunn 2x15

When I (rarely) play guitar I swap the head for a LIFCO model 100 (its a weird Traynor YBA1 clone)
