Friedman 71' Modded Super Lead. A year and half but no intent of ever unloading.

Other than that, it was a Bedrock Lead 50 for two years.
 
18 yrs Mesa Mk III :D about 4 years with my Bogner 20th X :yes: want to adda SLO and in done :rock:
 
I guess I've had my current Mark IV about 4 years now. It's the 3rd one I've had.
 
Diezel Einstein 4 peacefull years. At least that's when I stopped flipping amps to get amps and it put a halt to my dirt box obsession.
 
Mark V. About 6 months. I've never had a super great rig before it, though.
 
Mark V since summer of 2009. I got one from the first batch that was sent to Mesa Boogie Hollywood. Very versatile amp and sounds great with the right tubes in them.
 
Xtc classic 11-12 years depending on if you include it's first year as a 101b ;)
 
I've been using a soldano avenger with greenbacks for 3 years and counting...
 
Going on a couple years with the FJA modded Dual Recto.
Still makes me all giddy when I play the damn thing. :D
 
Ampeg SVT 3 Pro for almost 8 years now. It does the job.
 
Friedman BE100 for about 4 months.
Fender Prosonic and Marshall 2203 for 13 years before that.
 
Wow, lots of long time #1s. I guess we don't flip 'em as much as I thought :)
 
I still have my #1 from 2005 so 8 years now. (JSX)

Although since then, I have added, use and still own #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7 & #8.... :bash:

Exactly :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

Mesa Mark IVa for 15 years, then Mark V briefly...however then the DIEZEL'S came. Tried a few...

Now it's been Herbert as my #1 exclusively for the last 3 years.

Although, I do still have both the Mark IVa and Mark V, I also own and play my Quickrod, XTC 20th, SLO, Hagen, and various preamps as well :D
Not to mention those that have come and gone in between.

It's certainly great fun to try out a variety of amps. Yet, #1 is hard to dethrone...especially once it has been dialed to perfection.
