Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
For a small club Blues gig without the Keyboardist I'll Bring my Princeton Reverb. Outdoors or w/t Keys I'll bring my Hot Rod Deluxe. I've got a 1x12" ext. cab w/t a V30 That I plan to use next gig w/t The HRD a 4 ohms.:smokin:

For local gigs in any LA club I use 2 Atomic Amps in stereo with a PODxt. Covers it all.

Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
Depends on the gig.
Take a look at that super reverb in my signature. (Too heavy)
Lately, it's been LP007 (Celtic Edana) and Little Jimi (Holland amps)
Or a AB165 blackface Bassman playing through a Vibratone with a Mesa Boogie DC-10 for leads.

Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
One of my five Mesa amps:
Small gigs, a DC-3 combo; or a Mesa Maverick 212 combo. I have a 112 Theile cab to use with the DC-3, and I have a Recto 212 cab to turn the Maverick into a half-stack.
For the Medium gigs, mostly a Mesa Mark IV 112 EVM combo, or a Mark III Simul-Class 112 EVM combo. Both of these have a matching 112 EVM Theile cab.
For Big gigs, where I need to level entire city blocks, I have a Mesa Mark III Coliseum head with a 412 Mesa Half-back cab with C90s/EVMs. This is a glorius sounding amp and its probably my favorite. Unfortunately, my band doesn't do a lot of gigs where I can use this.
Most of the time, I like the versatility of the Mark IV, but they have about 2,000 knobs and switches. The Mark IIIs are easier to get a good tone from, and less fussy; though once the Mark IV is set right, it is also a gem.
I have a lot of versatility with these amps, and the Mesas are perfect for the many different styles I cover in my band.

SF Super Reverb
SF Deluxe Reverb
MArshall 900 50W combo 2 12"
Bogner Shiva
I use the Deluxe mostly, but it is difficult to keep a good clean tone once the volume gets up. My intention is to use the Bogner, but I'm still learning the amp. For larger arrangements I prefer to use the SR a/b'd with the Marshall. THis will all change once I get the Bogner down.

It all depends on the gig size and the playing situation...

Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
I mainly use my single channel Orange AD30 head and either a Marshall 2x12 or an Orange 4x12 (depending on venue size and which I can be bothered to transport
)
I'm considering selling my Marshall combo to get 1 of the new Vox AC30CCs though, but I'll see how I go with that
