Premier Rock Forum

in order as best as i can recall

home stereo
jensen bass head and matching cab i got for free.
a shitty yorkville 400watt bass combo with a farty 15 inch speaker
traynor yby something or other into a ampeg 8x10
garnet bto400 into the same ampeg
traynor pa cab and 100W pa amp with intersound ivp preamp.
a univox amp i sold to M.koran fellow member of this fine forum.
some squire practice amp.
a david bogen pa amp that was re worked into a guitar head.

and a few others i cant quite recall .. i know i had a trace elliot for a while i jsut cant remember when.

Peavey solid state sold it
Crate solid state sold it
65 twin reverb reissue sold it bass farts and treble hurts
smf 15 watter kept it clean channel fat & thick, distortion matchlessy
kjl dirty 30 kept it voxy/jtm45
weber 6m36 kept it vox/18 watt marshall

I am pretty sure now that I like voxy/marshall sounds. It took me 8 years of having my fender twin and using hundreds of pedals. Till I finally figured out that. The twin is a nice amp. I guess I just never wanted to play THAT clean. The originals don't bass fart and treble hurt you.

i have a sunn concert lead in the shop that as soon as it gets out is being traded for a ts-120b and traynor 4x10.

i probably won't use the 4x10.

anybody know if those old traynor 15" p.a. cabs would make for good bass cabs? perhaps if i removed the horn accessory?

i forgot about the X100 Rockman i bought in 1986.

used to run it thru my home stereo and a pair of crappy Koss phones for silent practice.

Ah, I should tell the tale...

I ended up selling that to some guy on CL. He calls back to say that it sounds wonderful, "just like an old SVT". The week after that, I see it on CL again for $100. I also had a guy in New Jersey that insisted he had to have that very amp. I told him the shipping would probably be obscenely expensive. He wisened up (I guess) and never answered back. Whatever, I'm over it.

It goes something like this, I am sure to have missed out some lesser amps

Mesa Tremoverb 2x12 combo (sold, combos are too fucking heavy to lug around)
Fender 15W practice amp (in front room)
'62 Blonde Fender Twin (still have, the best looking amp ever made. in front room)

Switched to bass for a couple of years
Ampeg SVT with 8x10 (still have head)

Is this numbers? As in, you pwn 8 Fender Bassman's (Bassmen), etc.?

SADLY YES.....WAY TOO MANY....I HAVE A CONDITION WHERE IF I GET RID OF ANYTHING I HAVE MASSIVE ANXIETY...AT LEAST ITS MUSIC GEAR I BECAME A COLLECTOR OF AND NOT STAMPS....

holy hell!
LETS SEE SOME PICS!!!

Yeah, I'm calling 'bullshit' until I see some hard evidence. Please include today's newspaper in the pics.

60 amps, I'll call them an average price of maybe $700, that's like $40,000 worth of amps. Dang! That must take up a shitload of space, too, especially if you have any speaker cabs to go with all those heads.

present: 1971 HIWATT custom 50 watt head
Soldano 4 x 12 cab x 2

future: an additional homemade speaker cab loaded with PA 12" speakers
Intersound IVP preamp / Sunn Coliseum Lead or Ampeg V 4 what y'all reckonof this additon? good idea?
