I don't play bass, but the old Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master amps are reasonably priced and great sounding "Bassman" clones.

This is a recent acquisition. It's a 1971 V-4B with a 2x15 cab. I was trying to find something that could sound like a B15 with more power. This sounds like everything from a B15 to an SVT. I really have no idea how these aren't more sought after as studio amps especially. The overdrive when you push it is really something special. There isn't a sound I want that I can't get on it.

I have a Fender Studio Bass amp that I really don't use. 180 watts of tube power isn't necessary in my music room. IIMG_0137.jpg
(I've been notified that the amp file is too large)
have one bass guitar and I play that into my modified Peavey KB100 amp. I can play along with my drum machine through the same amp. I removed and replaced the piezo tweeter and replaced it with a super tweeter, I added a 3-way crossover network and added a JBL Human-voiced midrange speaker. The amp sounds great for bass, drum machine and vocals.
