I use 100w Marshalls.

JVM410 and a JCM 900 MkIII

Yeah, it's loud over here.

Yup, they're pure rock and roll machines. I will say this though, the clean channel and reverb on the JVM is shockingly good. You wouldn't expect Fender-ish cleans from a giant Marshall, but it comes pretty close.

I have two--a Tech 21 Trademark 60 212 and a Quilter MicroPro 200-8. Sounds great through either, but the reverb on the Quilter trumps the 'verb on the Tech 21.

For Punkrock: '65 BF Fender Bassman + 2x12 cab.
For Surf: Fender Vibrolux RI (Moyer Modded) with Ragin Cajun and Ramrod Speaker + external 2x15 JBL D140F equipped cab.

Tube Fender all the way live; usually a 6G6-B Bassman with 2x12 cab or a Twin RI with a custom 1x15 cab.

When I don't need volume (around the house practice, studio, etc) they also sound great through my blackface Deluxe and silverface Vibrolux.

I've only got two amps right now, a Gretsch Executive (20w of vintage sounding goodness) and a Reverend Kingsnake (20/60 watts)
I usually use the Exec. It sounds KILLER with my Hallmark II. Can't wait to hear a Deke through it.

I have a Jet City 100HDM because I can't afford a real Soldano. I just got a set of Tung-Sol's in it, sounds KILLER!

Silverface DR for me, with a Weber 12F150 Speaker.
