Greetings from the North,

A genuine Radio Shack 'Solid State' 15" Bass Combo! I think it did about 30 Watts lol.

Peavey TKO. I think that was the "Official 1st Amp of the 80's".

A blackface 50w fender bassman. Nice head - atrocious cab.

My parents didn't want to listen to me making a bunch of "racket", so they bought me a headphone amp. They were giant size and you plugged them into your bass and they had a big volume knob on the ear. Sounded horrible and hurt my ears...but I was playing my bass and loving it. From there, I saved my allowance for a year and bought a Fender Bassman 135 and one of those 412 cabs that had 4 separate speaker baffles that all angled inwards (for some reason as a 15yr old, I thought it would be a good idea to paint the baffle bright blue). After the headphone amp, that rig was like the voice of God!

my first "amp" was an Alamo 20 watt guitar amp...my first bass amp was a Kustom 150 I think...I had a Gibson bass amp for a short time as well but don't remember the timeline to clearly...or even what model the Gibson amp was...

My first "real" bass rig was a Sunn Concert head with a Cerwin Vega B36-MF (folded 18" and front loaded 12")...I wish I still had that rig...

My parents got me my first bass amp exactly a year after they got me my first bass.
It was a Ross 60 watt combo amp with a 10" speaker. I think it was a keyboard amp actually. But back then, what did I know?
I don't think I've ever seen the brand Ross anymore anywhere.

My first bass amplifier was an Acoustic B50 combo, a good solid-state. R.I.P.

A Rouge 15" combo that I believe my step brother might have sold for coke but never could pin it on him(we live in different houses). After that I got a Rouge 200watt head that used to cut out after about 20 mins of playing.

Fender Bassman 70 head through some kind of big Peavey cab (a 1x15 I think)

First actual bass amp?
Ampeg SVT.
Before that it was a Sunn Concert Lead, before that a Vox Series 90, before that a Penn 60 from May Company but none of those were official bass amps.

The first amp was a Traynor, I really don't remember much about it anymore since I bought it in 1972 and did not have it that long...
