if you could only use one brand

[nash]

for bass amp and strings what would it be?

mine would be fender. i use fender basses and i have some fender strings at the moment and i have a sunn 300T so its all good for me.

[skywalker]

Fender for me - Squier P Bass Special and a Rumble 60

[Machines]

There aren't many luthiers that also make amps so it's quite limiting.. suppose i'd have to go Musicman (they used to make amps, right ?).

[Sibob]

Thats silly
Its like saying, "if you could only use one fast food chain starting with an M, what would it be" lol
Lets assume he means one for each, mine, certainly at the moment, would be Ashdown amps and Newtone strings........ and thats what i'm using

Probably Warwick I suppose... Streamer S1, Hellborg rig and Red Labels.

Although I'd flog the bass and get a Sh*k*r instead at the first available opportunity

[Lfalex v1.1]

If you mean 1 manufacturer for bass guitar, amp and strings, then it's quite limiting...

In fact, I can only think of;

Hartke (Strings?)
Trace Elliot
Fender
Ampeg (Strings?)
Warwick
Musicman

(I'm sure that can't be all. Can it?)

I'd go Trace or Warwick, methinks.

[Alpha-Dave]

Warwick for all 3 in 1.

Otherwise ACG bass, DHA/Torres amp, BFM cabs and DR strings.

I like acronyms.

[alexclaber]

My old bass was built by Warwick in the '80s. My new bass is being built by Robbie of RIM Custom. My preamp is made by Avalon Design. My power amp is made by QSC. My cabs are made by Acme. My strings are made by DR.

All these companies just do pretty much one thing, be it bass, amp, cab or strings, and do it very well.

So which brand of shop do you like to get your clothes, food, media, electrical goods, from?!

[ARGH]

Sod that

Amps...Tech 21
Bass....depends
Strings......Elites

[G-bitch]

Sadowsky

[Merton]

Amps - Trace
Basses - Status (oooh, close!)
Strings - Status or DR (got some Black Beauties for my Retroactive, can't wait to put em on and lose the strings in the infinite blackness, wooo)

I'll go back to packing up my flat so I can move

[Rodders]

Warwick !!

Good answer! Sadly the amp and cabs were a flash in the pan...

Weren't they built by someone else? Did Bergantino make the cabs?

[stingrayfan]

Corona. The basses that come from there are not always to my taste - but the beer's not bad!

[JoeS]

One brand for all three - Warwick (SSII, Hellborg amps and EMPs)

Different brands - Warwick (SSII), Aguilar (DB750 + 8810) and D'Addario (XL nickels).

well if i had to use the new equipment from different brands id use:

lakland basses
either fender or ampeg all valve heads and matching cabs
and maybe DR strings. i have a set of blue ones waiting to go on my p-bass

Bergantino designed and made the cabs. I think Koch Electronics (who make the Eden valve head) designed and built the head. Real shame that the amp didn't sell well because it's a very nice design.

Just fiendishly expensive, no?

I'd go with Peavey for my one brand, although I'm not sure if they do strings.

[andy67]

bass - yamaha

amp - trace/ampeg

cabs - ampeg

strings - rotosound

andy

[Darcy]

Strings: always go back to Rotosound Nickel roundwounds

Bass: Fender

Amp: Wish I'd kept my Marshall Major with a re-valve and a cab/cabs with modern speakers who knows.........but for reliability..Peavey.
