What amps do you guys own? (bass, house, rock, effects)

I started off with some sh*t 10 watt Ashton, but now that I've upgraded I've gone to the Marshall MG100DFX, one of the nicest clean sounds I've ever heard, and the overdrive and effects are bad either.

Line 6- Spider III its a nice amp... i just got it like 3 months ago because after finally investing in an electic i got pissed off that it was so quiet.

I was looking at that exact amp when I was first considering buying an electric. It's only 30 watts isn't it? I tihnk that's what drove me away from it.

mines 60 they have quite a few different wattages or watever...they have one big ass one that looks like it would blow down a house..

I'm a bass player. in a Rock band

Trace Eliott 450 watt head with 7-band graphic ( a REAL one, not one of the new Peavey built trash), Hartke Transporter 4X10 cab, Trace Eliott 1X15 cab.
Great sound, loads of power, ( The band say too much sometimes!), and massive clean sound with loads of bottom end and gusset-ripping highs.

After months of searching and trying dozens of different "toys" I found the ZOOM bass multi-FX pedal, and I also use a Behringer pre amp / boost - handy for some extra grunt and only £20.

Been recently thinking of getting a nice 18" cab and a power amp to drive it, as we're playing some large venues, though I may just get another, identical cab set up and a power amp to drive them.

I use a Vox Valvetronix AD50VT - a modeller trying hard to sound valvey!

They are pretty good, plenty of variety (11 models) and effects built in, they do sound fantastic at low `bedroom hero` volumes. And the few occasions i`ve jammed loud with it have been pretty good too. I use the model that trys to imitate a Fender Twin a lot!

Forum won`t let me post a pic - i dont have 15 posts yet!!!
