I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one. I currently play through an Ampeg V9, before that it was an SVT. Neither are/were mine, they are wonderful amps but...
I miss my old rig, a Fender Bandmaster with a Bassman 70 2X15 cab.
I have never heard a better bass amp than an old Fender guitar head.

I've had a Bassman 70, the Bandmaster and a Twin Reverb and I havn't been able to match the sound with anything.

Anyone else?

I used a '66 Showman head and single 15" cabinet for bass for years. I also used a 2x10 Tremolux cabinet with the same amp. It sounded sweet.
I stopped using it because I just got afraid of blowing up the amp.
It still has the original caps.
