I'd put some money on the Traynor TB-50 as well. Great valve heads only 50W though, but chcuk a power amp in and....easy. I've never used one, but David Wm Sims and Bob Weston are loyal users of this traynor bass amp, and that's good enough for me, Jesus Lizard and Shellac bass sounds are bother really nice.

Also, i think they possibly have a bad rep, but i've heard some bass players use Gallien-Krueger stuff to great effect (Jesus Lizard, Dianogah, June of 44), they're solid state, but i don't mind solid state for bass amps as long as they're good, depends what it's for i guess.

Has anyone used any Marshall bass stuff? Our Kevin assures me that the Marshall VBA is very good, The Bass 800 is awesome and the SuperBass (if that's not the same as an 800) is apparently awesome.

Also... never forget the fender bassman. I've heard these sound amazing with bass.
