My amp history (check out the convenient aproximately to scale pics)....

Squier SP10 (new)


Marshall MG30 (second hand)


Laney TF300 valvestate (new)


I got the squier when I started playing. The marshall maybe a year later. Sold the marshall after a few years and bought the laney. Had the laney through uni and sold it to go to Ireland. I still have the squier and it's been my only amp for the past year.

Soon to have...

64 Bassman into Torres custom 2x10 cab (second cab (wasnae born to buy it new, made the cab from a kit)




Actually, now I know what amp I'm going to have, I'm off to wire that cab up.

mine is pretty simple.

i started with the 20 watt solid state gorilla amp that sounded like ASSSSS



we tore off the gorilia logo and put it on nates TV set 2 years ago. we thought it would be funny if he had a gorilla TV instead of a sanyo


after that i graduated to the Performer 1000 which morphed into the COUGAR 1000.




and then i have a giant 500 watt PA with 6 hi/low ins, rca in/out and two 15" cabs that my computer, and everything else i own musically is plugged or mic'd into.

i think we already did a similar thread to this prior to one of our nasty crashes. . . but i always love reminiscing about old gear, so here's my history:

my first ever amp i got at the same time i got my first guitar (wayne's world edition cij strat). both were secondhand, and the amp looked something like this:


bought this model crate gx65 off of a friend to rock with my slut'o caster:


finally, my first amp that nobody owned before me! marshall valvestate 8240:


now i needed a half stack to keep up with the MASSIVE RAWK TONES of saturday's child. so i got a marshall valvestate vs100 head. . .


. . .and a marshall 1960a 4x12 (i think this was in 1998)


time for tube tones! i rocked a marshall tsl100 head through the 4x12 for nearly 8 years:


for smaller sessions and just cool s0ndz, i got a fender pro jr:


at some point a few years ago, i got a bug up my ass to change up my sound, so i got a fender prosonic (ended up keeping it for studio lolz)


when i was doing split duty in big bear and san diego, i got a fender FM412SL cab and loaded it with celestions:


and eventually put a '74 bassman 100 head on top of it


the marshall jvm410h was released and has been a delight to play. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3





the champ blew up when jimmy put bass through it or something. the crate blew up when a former satchild guitarist borrowed it. the valvestate amps were both traded in for their successors. the jvm was purchased with funds from selling the tsl, and the prosonic was sold for needed cash last year. the bassman went to junkbox along with its custom outfitted cab.

I've got a blue amp. Its a Marshall DSL 401 Ltd Edition.

It was borrowed.

Also ws borrowed, than had to give it back. Did miss the 30 WATTS OF POWA!

Current amp and first amp. I bought it used, much love for this amp. I may buy a cab loaded with V30's, because the bass on them is apprently epic, and my speakers lack bass response, but have upper-mids, treble in droves. I probably wont though, no love for lifting things.
