What's your amp history? (Page 1 of 4)

nice topic

Couldn't remember the years(too many have come and gone )

WEM 15 tube amp
Marshall 40W MasterLead 1x12 combo(tranny amp)
Marshall JCM 900 2x12 100W combo(great amp, but good clean tone were hard work)

Current:
Fender HotRod Deluxe 1x12 40W tube
Mesa Rect-o-verb 1x12 50w tube(man this thing punches above its weight.... it competes on stage with a 100w Marshall JvM easily)

I tend to hang on to 'em for a long time

Wrestling witht he idea of a Hughes and Kettner triamp head and 2x12 cab but loving the Boogie too much right now

I've only been playing about three years, so I started out with the Roland Cube 15, and moved my up when my parents bought me a Fender FM 212R for my 21st birthday. Absolutely love it.

OK, have to jump in on this one.
chronological order as best as I can remember starting in 1980 I think.
-Kustom 1x12 combo solid state...good loud little amp.
-crate 8" solid state (POS) still have it in the garage for testing
-Marshall valvestate 2x12 (first year of the model) not bad
-fender ultrachorus (120 watt,solid state, chorus, pretty nice amp)
-rivera suprema55 1x12 tube closed back, killer amp (basically an r55 with a vintage 30, more gain, and closed back.NBP- If you like the r55, I think you'll love this one)
-tech21 trademark 10 (great little practice amp, still have it)
-vox adt15 (good little practice amp with effects...sold it)
-VHT CL100 with Bogner 2x12 big cab (loved it, heavy sounding hard rock/metal amp)...still think about this one.
-Rivera knucklehead reverb 100 (big sounding, tons of bass, many options, midi switch) Had the VHT and Rivera going thru the bogner 2X12 and switched between, trying to figure out which I liked best...couldn't decide. They were both great. If I were a touring hard rock/metal player, I would probably choose the Rivera, just for the midi switch.
-Splawn pro rod (loud, modified marshall based, metal amp...don't know what I was thinking, but sounds good for what it is)

Budda superdrive 30 1x12 loved it.
Budda superdrive 30 2x12 loved it.
Budda superdrive 45 1x12 bought it for same sound, but more umpphh...it delivers. I also have a earcandy buzzbomb 2x12, but don't need it much. This is my current amp, and always get compliments on the sound. Cuts like a knife, cleans up nice, dirty as you want to be if needed.
-fuchs lucky 7

Budda is how I know about Joe, he was on the front page of their website and was playing in a Newport RI club while I was on vacation a couple years ago. I figured, lets check him out...the rest is bonamaniac history.

Oh Boy, here's a bassman's dateline:

LOTS of amps. 

No Amps at all.

Lots of amps again. 

My favorite?  Kustom Groove amp with 1 15" Eminence and a horn
and when I want to play outside, (I like Festivals) I put the extended cab with 2 15" and a horn, on the other side of the stage, of course 700 to 1000 watts depending on how I rig in the speakers.

It's the first thing with 15s that I played with since Acoustic days that doesn't boom.  Before that I was 4 to 8 10 inchers.  Nice and clean!

Hope that doesn't spoil the guitar players party.

Hi all, well here we go, to the best of my recollection.
Fender Performer 1000 - Awesome amp, great for rock still use it to this day.
Fender 71 Silverface Bassman Head w/ 2/12 Sovtek cab
Hot Rod Deluxe
Fender Roc Pro 1000 - this amp is what the Performer turned into, again great sleeper amp
Fender 67 Blackface Bassman Head
Marshall 1960A w/ G12T75's
Peavey 5150 combo
Rivera S120 2-12 combo - In a true Blues Brother like moment I traded a car for this amp:)
Blankenship Amplification Fat Boy
Fender Blues Junior - I'm on my second, first got stolen
Peavey Classic 50 2-12 combo
Rivera S120 head

I can't really say what rigs were used when because I have used them all depending on what I felt that particular moment.  I will say though that the Hot Rod Deluxe had seen alot of use but I recently sold it.  I absolutely Luvv the Blues Junior and that is my main amp right now for most small gigs.  The Blankenship is the loudest little amp on the planet.  If you put it on a hard floor, turn it up, and smack a low E it will literally walk away from you.  Also I cant use open back combos outside, it just doesn't work for me.  It's cool though cause thats when the heads and my Marshall get some use.  Recently I was inspired by Mr. Bonamassa and have been using a two amp setup, one dirty one clean and I am really enjoying that.  I do look forward to the day that I can run two 4-12 cabs with 4 100 watt heads on top and not get hauled off to jail for killing eveybody in the bar that night.
Take care guys.
Mike

several years of ampless Digitech RP 300 headphone living then got a Line 6 Flextone II Plus with the extension Cab.
Peavey Delta Blues
