Your Primary Rig

[BearCave]

It depends on the application and sometimes which "flavor" I'm in the mood for.

Line6 HD750 Lowdown here.

interesting to see what the market is like. No big shock that Ampeg is #1. Genz-Benz is killing it though.

I think a lot of people are not one brand only guys. I voted Aguilar, because that's what I've been using lately, but I also own fender, Hiwatt, AMP, and Ampeg amps. Have owned Genz, Mark Bass, Hartke, and Mesa.

Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0. No complaints, except that it's so small I'm always afraid of
losing or forgetting it!

'76 Ampeg V4B

Mesa Boogie - Buster 200 into 2 Diesel 115s.

Looks like this went from "Your Primary Rig" to "name every amp you own".

 

[GM60466]

Sound City from the late '70s

Ha! So True.

Aguilar db 750 when i need thunder,gk mb 800 for club gigs

 

[Mike M.]

I use a combo; a GK MB115. For my needs it's plenty. Fact is, it's my only bass amp.

 

[Kmonk]

1970 Ampeg SVT and an MIA SVT 6 PRO. I have always liked the Ampeg sound. I've tried GK and Hartke but will now only use Ampeg.

 

[BassGen]

Ampeg SVT 6-Pro pushing two Mesa Powerhouse 410's.

That's a "Whole Lotta Love".

 

[bigboy_78]

Ampeg PF-500.

Affordable, Looks Cool, portable, pretty classic sounding, and my local music store only stocks Ampeg & Ashton gear.

 

[Andy D]

Carvin B2000. Powerful, sounds great (even without the Sansamp in front of it), and reliable.

 

[tzdroik]

Mesa M6 into vintage powerhouse 410. I also rub an 882 sonic maximizer out the effects loop which seems to give me a deeper tone

 

[Slough Feg Bass]

lately for heavy boom boom I use the Sansamp RBI => QSC PLX 2420 => Schroeder 412R

For smaller gigs, I've been using a Roland Cube Keyboard amp from the 80's. it has 2 pairs of stereo line in's with a 15, a mid range & a tweeter. I run bass, vox, sound efx through it and it works for me, despite what most say about Roland gear......

 

[Bassist4Eris]

After playing for 24 years, in various studios, practice spaces, and gigs where backline was provided, I have played through virtually every make of amp there is. I dig a modern, punchy sound, and I have found that GK gets me exactly what I want. My second choice would be Hartke. I find it virtually impossible to get a tone I like from an Ampeg, despite the fact that they always seem to sound fantastic when other people play through them. It's just not the tone I'm going for. I was surprised to get a tone reasonably close to "mine" recently on a backlined Kustom. I've never been satisfied at all with the sound of a Carvin head, at least not those I've tried, despite my long-standing love affair with both their cabs and (especially) their basses.
