Muzz Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Update to mine: two amps, one cab: still the Magellan and the Walkabout, but just a BF Super Twin. It does everything, very very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazhowe Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Two amps for me; Markbass MoMark 500w (Class A/B, main amp) Markbass MoMark 800w (Class D, backup) Ideally I would be using the higher power rated amp for gigging as I use backline only but I've gigged both and A/B'd them during a soundcheck and the 500w has more presence.

scalpy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Two amps, a lmt500 which does the job and a hartke 1400 series head. Looks like a cheese board with knobs on. Then a pair of Aggie db112s and a hartke 410xl, original American job. Still sounds great after an unbelievable amount of abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I would like to say 2, but there are others. I have a TC RH450 as my amp, with 2x TC 112. Then I have a EVO 500 ashdown head I picked up recently to see what ashdown heads were like. Technically that is it, but I do also have a Yamaha THR10, a harley benton 5w guitar amp, a roland microcube and a few other little things around.

Opticaleye Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 4 amps - Quilter BB800, Markbass TTE801, Markbass LM11, Markbass MiniMark 602. Cabs 2x TKS1126, 2x Barefaced One10 7 basses and an EUB. From an amp point of view I only use the Quilter at the moment in my current band. The TTE is more coloured and I may use it if a certain project requires it.

Jack Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Gallien-Krueger MBE-III Gallien-Krueger MB Fusion 500 Presouns Studio Channel > QSC PLX1602 Barefaced Midget And another Barefaced Midget Barefaced Compact There's some degree of mix and match, but the general jist is the MBE and either one or two midgets for most things, and then either the MBF or the pre/power rig with a midget and compact stack for the rock band.

Beer of the Bass Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Two amps, three cabs; Dynacord Eminent II 80 watt valve amp, modified with 6sl7 preamp Gallien Krueger MB200 1x home-built 1x10" 2x home-built 1x12" I'm toying with the idea of replacing the MB200 with an MB500 some time, but otherwise I'm happy enough for the moment.

Paul S Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1483284175' post='3205898'] I have two Trace Elliot AH-300-SMX heads - one spare in the event that #1 has to go into hospital. I have a Quilter Bass Block that I intend to use for rehearsals and to gigs as a back up. It is the best small amp I have tried. I have an ancient dusty old Peavey TKO-80 in my 'office' that I use for home practice and that my cats use as a scratching post. Not turned up very loud. Two Barefaced Supercompacts One Barefaced 110 for quieter rehearsals and possibly smaller gigs. What I don't have any more is GAS for anything else, remarkably. [/quote] Proves one should never believe what one reads on the internet, especially if I wrote it. Had a sharp bout of GAS and bought an Orange TB500 and I'm liking it lots. Took me long enough to join the party. Knock on effect is my dusty Peavey TKO has gone to a better place and Trace Elliot head #2 relegated to home practice with second Supercompact - available at short notice should the gig require it. Getting that Peavey downstairs wasn't easy, but the guy who collected it (hi Alex) took it from Benfleet to Stevenage via public transport!

fuzzonaut Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 6 Sunn 200s, Musicman HD 130, RW O))) and Dynacord Eminent II are constantly used at the rehearsal space. Peavey Classic Series Power Amp (60W) is used at home. Exef VPA260 power amp sits unused in a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Only one amp head - a Markbass LM2. Looking at how many others have, and some of the reasons, I'm starting to think that a spare amp in case of problems might be wise! In which case I would get another LM2 as I like it and having a spare that I know how to use would be sensible! Cabs - one Barefaced Compact (gen 2) and one TKS H115. For most gigs and rehearsals the Compact is more than loud enough and an easy one-handed carry. But sometimes it is fun to use both...

jacko Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Currently have 4 amps. Mesa Titan. This is my main rock band gigging amp racked with a Korg tuner going into Mesa 210 and 212 powerhouse cabs. I also have a mesa big block 750 which I've been trying to sell for a while. Sounds great but the titan is much more versatile having 2 channels. Fender tbp-1 and QSC PLX 2402 rig which I tend to play through a pair of Markbass 410 cabs. Use this set up mainly with my functions band as it's very clean and has more headroom than I'll ever need. Finally have a markbass LM2 800 which I use in rehearsal rooms as invariably the practice amps are something really crap like a worn out ashdown. I Also carry his amp to gigs in case my main rig blows up - fits in a handy little shoulder bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeystrange Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 At the minute I have two amps: Fender Super Bassman 300 Fender Rumble 500 head Plus one Fender 410 Neo cab. Aside from those I still have a Peavey practice amp that I bought when I started playing. There's also an Orange Bass Terror 500 and an Ashdown 2x12 in the house but they belong to Mrs Strange.

tauzero Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Basses - just into double figures. Amps: Tecamp Puma 900 - main amp Markbass LM250 Blackline - backup Cabs: Bergantino AE112 x 2 I'm also threatening to use a Behringer B210D active PA speaker for the little acoustic (drum-free) group I'm in as a side project. Or I might just knock up a small cab for the Eminence Beta 10A I've got knocking about and use it with one of the amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Well compared to some of you lot I have a pretty streamlined selection: Markbass F1 GK MB200 Line 6 Studio 110 Ampeg B100r x2 Ampeg V4B '76 And a pair of Bergantino 12" cabs Thats it, although I do have many pre's and effects boxes that'll act as pre's if need be Oh, and I have a couple of power amps too: SWR SM800 and an Ashdown ABM APM 1000. Gosh, that's more than I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGBass Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 i've been very good in recent times and narrowed my ownership down to just two amplifiers: 2001 Ashdown EVO 500 ABM 1981 Marshall JCM800 Bass Amp (Superbass 100 MKII) The Ashdown pairs with an upright Peavey 210TX The Marshall pairs with a Musicman RH212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm back to two now - MB500 and the Markbass LMK have gone and just have the SWR and D800 so can run my two 4 ohm cabs off either Just need to sort the three PA's out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treb Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 As of this week a second amp arrived. Got myself a GK Fusion 550. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1483317009' post='3206210'] 4 basses currently (until I can convince Mrs Painy that I genuinely do NEED a Thunderbird anyway). Just 1 gigging rig though - Aguilar AG500 and a pair of DB112 cabs - but I do have a Behringer BVT4500H head at the back of the cupboard under the stairs as a backup. Other that that just a 10W Hiwatt Hurricane practice amp if that even counts. Money no object then I'd probably have a DB751 and either a 4x12 or an 8x10 cab for bigger gigs (plus a roadie to carry it) but my current set up really does all I need it to anyway. [/quote] Well yesterday I added another amp head to this. Having sold on my much loved Trace Elliot AH400SMX (as spares/repair after it stopped working) about 10 years ago, I've found myself missing that Trace sound recently. So although my Aguilar rig does indeed do what's needed, I grabbed an AH350 that came up on here which was local and at the right price. Having gigged it last night it looks like the Aguilar head will be relegated to a reserve role (the heft is real I tell ya!!!) but I'll be keeping them both. The old Behringer under the stairs will probably go though - if I can be bothered to dig it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
