What tube amp do you play?

Greetings from the North,

My main amp is 2013 Fender Super Bassman. The cabs that I currently use are 2 Traynor TC115s, Dr.Bass Rx2260 and an old Fender Bassman 412 that's still in great shape. I will be trying out the new Fender neo 115 in the near future and if it works out the cab line up will be changing. But the Fender Super Bassman will remain my go to amp for a very long time.

did you have to mod it to get it to play nice with bass?

 

[hennessybass]

used this one for a while, but ended up selling the Buster after a short time, and the Cab went too...

Here is my B15 getting some studio work...

Love this rig (same cab as on the Buster pic), but with a bassman 100 head. Soooo good sounding. Sold the cab, but still have the Bassman...

Here's the big daddy...

2x 12ax7, 1x 12au7, 4x EL84 for 30 mean watts

Thanks, Jimmy. Love that bass. Was looking for a Hofner type bass and found this one for a steal. Done a few gigs with it, but it doesn't go out much - no case. It's done some studio work and sounds great recorded.

Mid 60s EKO 995. Short scale, but much bigger body than a Hofner. A little fatter and more dark sounding.

Eko. Thought so. Nice! Mine is a Realistic, but those Ekos with the F hole just plain rock!

I'm surprised how many Busters there are out there, I have NEVER seen anyone else play through one "in the wild."

That's because everyone that has one knows what they have, leaving the guys like me that wanna pick one up way outta the loop! I've been searching for probably 2 years and haven't found one locally. The more and more they get posted, the more and more i wanna look into getting one shipped to me.

I think SWR Interstellar Overdrive pre sort of qualifies as it is also about 6 watt amp running 2 EL84's if you desire.

I think Busters are having a little come back lately. There have been some Buster Club type threads that have popped up just in the past few months.

It's a great amp. A real hidden gem that really flies under the radar.

Marshall '74Superbass, JCM800 bass series, VBA400 And yes I like Marshall Tube heads.

I don't think anyone is saying ur 'wrong' for liking yr amp. Just that it's a tube PRE AMP & not a tube amp - as in power amp. :thumbup:
Ok.
Here're mine.
'79 Fender Studio Bass 200w

:thumbup::thumbup:

That reminds me of the rig I used to run for many years. A B15 fliptop cab and a Sunn 2000S head. It was HEAVY.

Now, I have my SVT-II (non pro) and the Super Bassman 300.

Oh, good Lord!

Reminds of a gig I had a few weeks ago. We were to play at a classic car show. So, I drive up to the gate in my Toyota Matrix and ask with a completely straight face "where to park to display my car?" The looks on their faces was just hilarious. They couldn't exactly find an answer. So, after a minute or so (felt longer), I just said I was with the band. Then they laughed.
