Noice. What is that RTR to the right of it? An AKAI?

I appreciate how ampeg got into the mini-amp market trend.  Yet still managed to craft a signature product that absolutely CRUSHES the competitor.

I almost bought one of those, was curious about the sound. I have one of their small, 8" I think, combo practice amps and it sounds ok. Nice collection. My wife says I have a "problem," I'll have to show her your pic so I'm in good company.

nice collections folks!!

Here's my wee little bass rig:



PF350 head on a Haggerty Enclosures 10" cab.  Had a GK 400RB-IV/2x10 cab for years and years---the Ampeg is SO much warmer sounding.

Right, 2x10.
The fiddle behind it is a frankenbass that I put together to honour Steve from Maiden.

This is my ampeg set up. Fridge (8x10) and the svt 300watt tubed.
I have two of those heads and I just sold my 4x10's and 1x15 that I personally like better, for travel reasons.
This mark bass set up is not mine but I use it once a week and it is MEAN.

Nothin better than recording an svt4 8x10 with a AEA r84 ribbon mic and a neve 1073 preamp.  Tear the #$%*in house down.

That happens with small electronic amplifiers.  Circuits fry, board gets toasted, "not worth fixing" and "are ya under warranty" come to mind.
