Recommended Posts

Following on from the amps you currently own thread I thought it would be interesting to see how many people have suffered from Amp GAS.

I myself was riddled with GAS for a good few years and even now I tend to change my amps every year or so.

Over the years I have owned:

Amps:

GK 800RB
GK 700 RB II
GK1001 RB II
GK MB500
GK MB200
Ashdown ABM 500 RC
Ashdown red face MAG400
Hartke LH500 x2
Hartke LH1000
HArtke HA5500
Trace Ah150 Mk V
Ampeg PF500
Genz Shuttle 600
Orange Terror Bass 500 x2
TC Electronic BH250


Cabs:

Trace Elliott:

1528 - V-type - 2x15"
1524 - regular ported 2x15"
1248 - V-type - 4x12" x2
1048H - 4x10"
1153 - 1x15"
1518 - 1x15"
4052H - Bright Box
2103H - 2x10"
1152 - Multistack Wedge 1x15"

Ashdown MAG 8x10"
Hartke 215XL - 2x15"
Laney Nexus 1x15"
Laney Nexus 4x10"
Behringer BA410 - Aluminium 4x10" x2
Schroeder 1212L - 2x12"
GK 210MBE - 2x10"
[size=4]Vox Super Foundation 2x15"[/size]
[size=4]Ashdown ABM410 - 4x10" x2[/size]
[size=4]Ashdown MAG410 - 4x10" x2[/size]

[size=4]Hughes & Kettner BR410H - 4x10"[/size]
[size=4]Barefaced One10[/size]


Combos:

Squier 15" guitar combo
Peavey TNT160
Trace 7210H - 2x10"
Trace 1110 - 4x10"
Trace V-type 1x15"
Trace 7215 - 1x15"
GK MB210
GK MB150
Fender Rumble 500 - 2x10"
HH VS-1x15"
Hartke A100


That's actually obscene and these are only the ones I either remembered or had photographs of. Some of these never saw a gig as I had changed my mind before I got round to gigging them.

Cabs:

Hartke Transporter 4 x 10" 300 watts 8 ohms.
2 x Warwick Neo Pro 1 x 12" 300 watts 8 ohms (Current cabs. Still serving me well since getting them in 2008.).

Amps:

HARTKE B60 COMBO
LANEY HCM60B
* ROLAND KC150
ROLAND CB100
ROLAND DB 500
ROLAND D-BASS 115
SWR WORKINGMAN'S 10 + SWR WORKINGMAN'S 1X10T
HARTKE HA2000 + SWR WORKINGMAN'S 2X10T
ASHDOWN SUPERFLY
ASHDOWN LITTLE GREEN GIANT
ASHDOWN MAG 300 + ABM 115
* PEAVEY MAX160 + AMPEG B115E

Remembering this lot has been a sobering exercise.

It is now not beyond the realms of possibility that a "list all the bass guitars you have ever owned" starts. For that I'll need to wrack my brains!

Tricky, but I'll try...

something I can't remember (early/mid 70s)
something else I can't remember
Selmer Treble & Bass 50 into a homemade 2x15 cab (mid-late70s)
same amp but into an unknown 4x10 (late 70s-mid 80s)
Another amp or two I can't remember
Trace Elliot combo with a heavy 4x10 (most of the 80s)
can't remember
Some kind of Carlsboro combo (second half of 90s)
something else, can't remember what
Ashdown perfect 10 (late 90s/early 2000s)
Ashdown MAG 300 & Ashdown 4x10 (2007 ish -2012)
Ashdown EB180 1x12 (2013, still use)
Ashdown ABM 500 (2013, still use)
Ashdown 4x10 (2013)
Barefaced Super Twin (Sept 2013, still use)
Ashdown Touring 300 1x15H combo (August 2016, still use)

I know there are a few I have forgotten, but I can't remember what they are!

Edit: There's a few memory joggers in this thread, I am sure I had a Peavey combo, and a Laney combo at different times during the late 90s/early 2000s.

I'd answered this in the thread mentioned in the original post but I don't feel so bad reading everyone else's lists!

Following on from my original response....
cabs (trying hard to get it right).....

Home-built box with two wharefdale 12eg

Two Selmer experimental 1x12 + horn (fairly 'orrid)

Two Orange 4x12 cols (greenback Celestions)

Two Goodmans 18s (sold with the Marshall Plexi)

Two Selmer pa tops with horns

Four Celestion 18s plus two Vitavox 4cell horns (with socks)(used with the 4x12s)

Two Rowe-Ami HUGE juke box extension kit (interesting experiment)

Six Tannoy Monitor Golds

Pair Celestion SR1 + Celestion bass bins

Pair Celestion (KR2) on poles

Two Barefaced Dubsters + Two Mackie C200s (present)

All of which suggests that I'm far more of an amp freak.........(just)

Hard to imagine someone actually reading all this... to be brief, a 90-watt Behringer combo that worked great till you turned it up; a Hartke 250-watt bass amp that worked great but weighed a ton; a Schroeder 12" cab that was great, but not enough; then a Schroeder 2x10 that is the Crown Prince of all 2x10s; a Carvin mini amp (250 watts); and finally a Carvin mini-amp combo that is great for practice and for small rooms. All the Carvin stuff I've bought is top-notch.

From 1965 I've only had four amps, and while I've built hundreds of speaker cabs of all types I've only used perhaps eight.

I am genuinely interested to know what they are.
