What kind of amp are you using with your Rick?

At home, a 1964 Bassman for both the 4003 and the McGuinn.

A '96 AC-15, '93 Peavey Classic 30, and about 6 vintage Rickenbacker amps. M-8s, M-11, M-14 and a few others. I'll take some pics soon.

small venues - Roland 30 Cube or a Trademark 10
larger venues - A Traynor YCV40 or the Yamaha DG60FX112, in my opinion both great amps for my purposes.

I've retired my trusty twin reverb. It sits in the studio, because it is simply too heavy, weight wise.

Fender Cyber Deluxe for gigs, Ampeg J12T for home and recording.

Does anyone use a Divided by Thirteen amp? I play through the EL84 channel of a Divided by Thirteen JRT 9/15 and it is sensational. The only question is -- is it worth the money?

For bass, one combination or other of the following: Walter Woods Electacoustic Super Hi Power amp, Ampeg PB250 head, one or two Traynor YS-15 cabinets with Eminence Delta Pro 15s, custom made EV B110 cabinet, SWR Baby Blue II combo amp. For guitar, early '70s Fender Princeton Reverb with Celestion G12M-70 speaker.

A Vox AD30VT and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with Celestion speakers.

A Vox AD120VT with the VC-12 controller.

Vox AD120VTH/AD212/VC-12 for gigging, Vox AC15CC, Gerd Weigel 1x12 6V6 based custom made combo, Vox DA-5 for camping, hotels and anywhere AC power may be questionable.

I also use a friend's Little Lanilei LT3350 with my 350V63 on occasion, I'll probably get one of these soon. This tiny amp is a huge surprise and is stunning with any toaster equipped guitar and an external 2x12, 4x12 or through the PA.

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - nice and full clean sound.

Ampeg PortaBass 800 watt through two PortaPass 2x12 cabs. For smaller gigs....I just turn down.

For bass, SWR Workingman's 2004 head (200 watts) with a 4X10 cabinet, with an auxiliary 2X10 cab if I need it, always run through the PA (4X18,2X15,2 horns, 2400 watts).
For guitar, a Peavey Delta Blues 2X10 combo (30 watts, EL84 & 12AX7 tubes).
I guess I'm fully converted to loving 10" speakers!

Trace Elliot 500 watt GP12-SMX with 11 band graphic, dual high and low compression, and valve blend.

1 4X10 with dual active horns.

1 1X18 with dual horns.

Of all the rigs I've used, nothing quite brings out the clang of a 4000 series better than this setup. The nearest would have been an Acoustic 300 Watt top with parametric Eq, and an Ampeg 8X10 that I used in the late 70's early 80's.

Paul Gray of the Damned/UFO used a similar setup with PA bins for cabinets, and his sound was classic 4001.

Peavey Delta Blues combo w/15" speaker for gigs & band practice.
Fender Champion 300 combo for practice at home.
Both amps are used with a Line 6 POD XT as a pre-amp. My main gigging amp used to be a Fender Ultimate Chorus, until it died recently. The Champion 300 replaced a couple of Vox Pathfinder practice amps earlier this year. The Delta Blues has a very rich sound that agrees with my RIC 370 & 370/12.
