I use a couple different rigs depending on the venue.
I am bias as I perfer only fender. I have played and
owned some Ampeg and GK rigs but my current set up
blows them all away. I play through a 1964 Blackface
Dual Showman head with the origional 2 15" cab. I did
find that the JBL's couldnt handle all the bass and
would break up a bit when I needed just a little more
volume. So I bought some EV 15's and replaced the
JBL's. It sounds great.
Also I have a custom 4 10" combo amp driven by a 64'
blackface dual showman head.
