Who is the king?

[Bad_Boy]

'Chippie' is a general term for what used to be a 'Fish & Chip' shop ('fries' if your American), except now of course you can get Burgers, Noodles & Kebabs from most such non franchised / non branded 'takeaways' here in dear old England.

So Ampeg is the Burger 'King' of Branding and Elvis the 'King' liked his Burgers & Fries.

'Chippie' is also a slang word for a carpenter but that's getting off topic......

For my money the 'best' is made by Ashdown!

Ironically, they also make this:-

Of your list, I'd say Mesa Boogie, though Ampeg certainly is the best at nailing that "Ampeg" sound.

Actually, I am thinking that the real contest should be between the EA iAMP 800 and the Walter Woods Ultra High Power. Now, those are some amps, baby!

But then again, a good preamp with a PLX 3002 ain't exactly chipped beef, either!

IMHO, the Holy Grail of bass tone. I'd like to find one just like this one! I've owned an SVT-CL & an SVT-2Pro-their volume and tone were'nt even close to the original SVT's(no offense intended towards people who own the newer Ampeg tube heads-just my opinion). I used to borrow an early 70's SVT stack from a friend for big gigs when I was starting out, and it had mammoth tone and volume.

Oh yes, one day one will be mine!

My vote goes to Ampeg.

Hey Dave, It ain't the money that'll get ya. It's the time. I'll sell mine for $9,000 . FWIW, Psycho Bass Guy knows where to buy them for like $200.
