cetera Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 GK800RB - The classic amp. Loud, punchy, authoritative and the most solid workhorse ever GK400RB - As above, just not quite as powerful (but still super loud!) GK Legacy800 - Fantastic tones in a small class D head Ampeg SVT II - 80's rock behemoth. Far too heavy and unreliable but what a sound... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could go back in time and tell my 22 year old self to stop trying to get a good sound with that stupid smiley EQ curve everybody used. Different music styles, speakers and basses make this feature desired and useful to some players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I think, in my entire life, and I'm 50 now, I've only gigged through four amps 🤣 Trace GP12 Peavey MKII Ashdown ABM300 GK MB500 The only one which disappointed me was the Peavey which farted and died during a gig so, to the OP, I say the other three.

Stub Mandrel Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 There can't be a right answer, because of different genres, playing techniques and styles, different basses and simple personal preferences. For me, my Orange Terror suits the music I play, and must score high on practicality, but I can see it not being other people's cup of tea.

prowla Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) I'm not sure of the models, but they are by: Ampeg Trace Elliot SWR Honourable mention to: Acoustic Crown/Amcron (power amps) Oh, and also Markbass, for doing things that real people can carry!

They aren’t big anyway so unlike the weight of a heavy can they are fairly easy to manage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
