I go back and forth between a '57Twin RI and an AC30CC2X. I've had the Twin a lot longer, so I'm very used to it, but the Vox has quite a repertoire of it's own...

Mesa Boogie DC-5 combo along with a Mesa 3/4 back 1x12. I also use a modded Fender Blues Jr. In rare occasions I bring out a '60s Silvertone 1483 (Danelectro made). I run this through the Mesa cab or the speaker in the combo.

Vox Valvetronix AD60VT. It's quite versatile--lots of cool sounds and built-in effects!

I've been using a Vox AC30 CC and a BF Deluxe Reverb. I love the AC30 but she's heavy. I've got to try the AC15 with the Blue - it's lighter.

I use a Peavey 212 Stereo Chorus with my 350 and my 360V64 and either a Fender Twin or a Sunn Model T c/w 6-10 bottom with my 360/12WB.

I also use a Roland Bass Cube with my 4003.

I use a Roland JC-120 or AC30CC1 if I choose to roll out the heavier stuff at home - otherwise a Roland Cube 30.

David Eden WT-400 and D115XLT for bass.

A TR35B, naturally, plugged into a PA system when playing live.
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

For smaller venues with an existing pa system, I use the same setup as Sergio! Larger venues...I bring out the beast...the SVT through the the Sunn cab....better stand back! Image
