Here is my Trace Elliot V4, by a long shot the best amp i've ever owned.

200 Watts of Window rattling power, an absolute monster of an amp paired up with a 4x10 and 1x15

4 KT88's
7 12ax7's
1 EM84- glows green which is very cool in my books.

Point-to-point Monster el Monarca 300W amp (custom made in Finland) with Matamp 4x10" + 1x18" cabs. Awesome set of gear. Really really versatile amp.



Sound City B100W mk3 (1969) with Aurinnko))) 2x15" cab. Awesome set as well.



Home practice rig: Echolette B200 + some 70's Kustom 1x15" cab. Nice retro-set.

3 knobs, perfect.

The amp I use is called a 'Streamliner' as its supposed to be a stripped down type with a strength in simplicity, but has 3 knobs for volume alone.

It's been a while since I've contributed so...

Trace V8


Museum piece Burman Pro4000HD (I have two, the other is more road rashed)


Burman Pro501 (ex Lindisfarne)


And some previous kit:

Mesa Strategy 400 (unfortunately no decent pics of the Bass 400+ I had for a while)


A cheap (but OK) Mesia, no not a Mesa, a Mesia ;)

OK it's ugly and heavy but sounds superb. My Wallace AC5075XT:-



Built around 1969. 2 x KT88s.

In the early 70s when I was young and fit I used to gig a stereo wired bass into two AC100XTs (a lot bigger and heavier!) plus two Burman 4x12s.

Here are mine.
I`ve developed a little bit of a fetish for valve amps over the last few years.
We eat alot of smart price beans at my house.

Ooh, how I'd like one of these, (the Ampeg B15, don't know why the pic didn't come out.)

It sounds very good indeed. Very low noise (the 120 Mark 4 I had awhile ago was a noise monster).
I don't know the exact weight. A little over 20 kg I presume. Not too bad.

The noise in them can be sorted, its a combination of old caps, degrading resistors and dirty earth connections. Sorted about a dozen now.
