And all I have to say about solid state amps is JC120.

I was thinking the same thing

This, plus, bassists use solid state amps all the time, and they manage to get some decent sounds

The Lab Series amps sound great also.

There are decent sounds and then there is great tone.

Tubes breath, sag, compress and respond to every nuance of your playing style.
A SS amp just makes it louder with tone shaping.

Modeling amps “taste just like chicken if you have never eaten chicken”.

Playing a tube amp pushed just below the point of breakup and feeling as well as hearing what happens when you step on a fuzz, od or distortion pedal is a thrill.

I kind of believe it’s a lot like being given a chance to drive at Le Mans and a choice between a Ferrari and a Prius. Both will get you around the track but the Ferrari will make you wet your pants and ask for more.

Oh the worst amp I ever played through was a SS bass amp with aluminum coned speakers. It had all the tone quality of a garbage can.

Yet another good ss amp I've owned (L4)

i was given a marshall valvestate combo as a loaner while my original amp was getting fixed. i hated that piece of shit so much, everything was awful on that thing. i can't see how chuck schuldiner tolerated them, i couldn't even get a good death tone. i played a smokey amp instead until i could get my original amp back.

Zoom 505 for bass

I really really dislike the hartke aluminium coned speakers, dry brittle trebley nastiness.

Putting aluminum cans against your speakers though...

I had a 1x15 Hartke bass cab that my wife bought me because she thought it looked cool. I wouldn't try to get rid of it, but she did let me swap the speaker out. I'm running a Peavey Black Widow in there now and it can rattle the fillings in your teeth.

I love my Hartke 2x10... but then, I'm usually playing more for the trebulz these days anyhow...

i used to play my guitar through 2 hartke 4/10 bass cabs..powered by a marshall 800 loaded with 6550's.
sounded fukking awesome ...that reminds me... i should bust that shite out again.
