Which brand do you play through?

[zhollywood]

I use to play Ampeg and Mesa pretty exclusively but got pretty fed up with most bass amps. I regularly play bass through guitar amps now. My two main are a Vox Night Train and a Jet City JCA20H.

I like using my Roland Bass Cube as a preamp to dial in the sound I want; in instances where I'm not using either of my GK rigs; and theres an amp available. Then I give it to'em OnePluck@aTime!

Why does it seem that some big league players have jumped ship from Ampeg to Hartke while some like Stanley have jumped on the Ampeg bandwagon?

Because Ampeg started making a ton of dud gear, people couldn't take their stuff on tour because your head would break, and so would the two backups you brought with you. I was "lucky" enough to get my first couple of Ampeg's during those years, sadly I won't be going back, I hear they are better now now though for what its worth. If you had done this poll before SLM I bet there would have been even more Ampeg. As far as why Stanley stayed, no clue, maybe he never had problems with his, or maybe he is just a man of integrity and loyalty.

I am also shocked by how little Fender use their is, and how there is no Markbass or Genz Benz on the list. I have never had a chance to use a GB but I hear great things.

As for myself, I run a Markbass head into an Epifani cab, sometimes a Markbass cab, but I prefer the Epifani ten times out of ten

[Monotheist]

Mesa M9 Carbine

That's what I expected: the "other" bar is the longest.

 

[bassphreak]

Hartke Kilo and Ampeg SVT410HLF is my rig of choice at the moment. Also have a Hartke HyDrive 210c combo.

 

[maxschrek]

I voted other as Hiwatt and ACC aren't listed.

 

[KrisHayes]

Mostly Ampeg. Now a PF-500, used to play an SVT-350 and a 200T. Occasionally play an Orange Terror Bass 500.

 

[rtslinger]

I vote other, I run a bass driver di into a Bose L1 with 3 Bose subs

 

[crack-boom]

I play whatever is provided as backline as long as it is on par / better than my GK800RB into peavey 4x10 (or just loud enough). I get enough tone shaping magic from my sansamp so as long as I get a transparent sound from the amp I'm happy.

But the dream is always an ampeg fridge or the orange tiny terror bass amp through a mesa 8x10...
