I don't have anything over 15 watts so everything is a practice amp. Kinda of prefer heads now too. Any combo has mods so I can use it as a speaker cab for use with any other head or combo. Fav lately has been an Eminence Cannabis Rex, which is in a Fender Musicmaster Bass amp, powered by a Fender Bassbrraker 15 head. A Bassbreaker 007 7 watt might be a better practice amp but the 15 has reverb and an effects loop.



Same here, but I have the combo.  It sounds really good at low volumes, so it has become my practice and live amp.  I have a Classic 50W that just doesn't get played much any more.

I have been fortunate in choosing a Carvin XV-212 (7-tube amp) when I first started out, based solely on a search for "good" and "tube amp" at that time. I leave it jacked to the secondary (-6dB) input with an old pedal board (for digital distortion) and have the power output set to 25% RMS. Even then I practice typically on volume level 2, but after 28 years I still have never gotten another amp.
 
Wait... I take that back... I actually bought a Marshall MS-2 at one point, but that thing was atrocious IMO. Still sits in a box somewhere.
 
Amp sims through a PA is also common for me for the past 5 years. It just depends if I am sitting at the computer or not.

For silent practice I just use direct outs on my JCM800 and JVM410H heads to my 18i20 and use various cab IR's.
 
For bass it's basically the same thing, but I use the Ampeg SCR-DI.

Yup they sound good low or high volume. Paired with few really loud, efficient speakers (Eminence Ragin Cajun) it gets up to Deluxe territory.
