Bass Players: what amp do you use?

Post by Andre_GT7 »

Hey everyone, i was wondering what amps the bass players on the site use?

for myself, i use a Trace Elliot Pre-amp (750W), and a Trace Elliot 410 speaker, it's awesome.

weird facts about my equipment, it was made before TE was bout off by Gibson, it was hand-made in the UK, and where the serial number was supposed to be. it says NAAM...

how cool is that? =)

I use an Ampeg SVT5-Pro and an Ampeg HLF410...I want a different cab though, this thing is way too fucking big and heavy. Sounds amazing though.

I'm by no means a bass player, my baby is my guitar (Tak EF341SC) through a Marshall AS50R, but I play . . . a low-end Yamaha RBX170 through a Crate BT50 . . . *hangs head in shame and walks away mumbling to self* I'm not worthy . . . lol. Lousy low-end bass amp, but it doesn't sound half bad for a few hundred bucks.
