Delberthot Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) 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]Ashdown ABM115 - 1x15" x2[/size] [size=4]Ashdown MAG414 - 4ohm 4x10"[/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. Edited January 2, 2017 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) 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.

taunton-hobbit Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) 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) Edited January 3, 2017 by taunton-hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylie Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
