What Amps Do You Use

[richbass939]

My amps aren't as exotic as the ones some of you use but I like the way my Alembics and my upright sound through them.  I have a Gallien Krueger Backline 100 watt 110 combo for small gigs and my living room and a GK 700RB 1x15 combo with a Behringer 2x10 cab.
For 15 years I had a Rickenbacker 115 combo.  I didn't use it anymore and found it a home with a major Rick fan.  A sale is a sale but it's always gratifying to pass something along to someone who really loves it.

Just curious....
 
Anybody have any experience or opinions on the Yamaha BBT series stuff?

I've been reading good stuff about them, but haven't been able to find any to play through.

I had a little play with one of these Yamaha BBT amps a few months ago. There's a lot of processing going on in a little box and it sounded pretty good in the store - Big Rock in Hull, UK. Give them a try.

hey, fc_spoiler (sorry, you don't have a name posted on your profile), what is the story behind the broken axe on the wall? also, the story behind the autographed axe on the right? i've got an autographed green day fender strat i bought at auction to benefit the american cancer society. bought it 8 years ago when they were famous..........but..........American Idiot! little did i know what i bought for charity when they weren't exactly at a high point in their careers would be worth now. please fill us in. very intriguing. and, jeez, what a rig. i thought i had some deafening stuff!

oh, i had numerous screwups in the post on my rig. his name is dan saraceno, i think. he's the wiz of bagend. he walked me thru the initial setup. i've since re-arranged everything. all of the ELF 18's are on the ground. the non-ELF 18 is in the center on top of an ELF 18. the monitors are on the sides and spread out farther. the bagend 15 is deadcenter next to the non-ELF 18 and gives me a really nice high end presence in my face. the throw on the mix is about 3 feet out. closer in, all you get is pressure and almost silence. i'm used to this from working all the concerts i did in the late '70's and early 80's while i was in law school and i was the head of backstage security for StoneCity here in san antonio. nicest guy i ever met was theodore nugent. his then wife was also very nice. took her down the riverwalk and to the alamo so she could do photo's w/her collection of nikons. most interesting was alice cooper. took him to luchesse boots to pick up his 11 pairs of ostrich, kangaroo and antelope boots. we ate pizza and he sawed on my head w/a prop sword that night. god i wish i could find someone who was snapping all those pics w/the flashes that night. he told me he hated blue shirts and i wore a blue IZOD shirt that night. we ran around san antonio in my porsche that night, got a pizza at a closed pizza parlor (they couldn't believe who was banging on the glass that night.....it was cool!).  oh, well. tales from the past. glenn hughes was an incredibly nice person. he's very kind and he loves his fans genuinely.
