I have a Basic 112 at home and at my drummers house, I play through a Fender Bassman, 60 watt combo. I like the Fender better than the Peavy.

For church/small gigs I use a Nemesis 210 combo. I really like it.

I won't bore you all with my main rig.

At home I have an SWR Workingman12. At church, I use a Genzz Benz ML 200-210t. Both amps are able to handle my L2.5K as well as the L2K.

I use a Markbass Littlemark II into either an Avatar 410 Neo at the church or into two Aguilar GS112s (one of which is an NT) when I feel like traveling.

I never thought I'd say this, since I'm a devoted fan of the 15" cabinet, but with a G&L you might not need that big of a speaker.

MFD and SVT and the rest of the details don't really matter.

Mesa 400+ or Mesa D-180 through Berg NV610 or a vintage Ampeg 215. G&Ls love tube amps! (and visa-versa!) Never got so many compliments on my tone as I have with my G&Ls through my Mesa 400+!

Somehow that combo manages to thump, growl, snarl, & sparkle all at the same time. :cool:

It's a little-known fact that at the G&L factory in Fullerton, the Bass Guitars are injected with a substance, before being shipped (the final stage of assembly) that enhances the tonal characteristics of the instrument when played through an all-tube circuit,-specifically an Ampeg V4BH.

I understand it has to do with stirring up electrons in the MFD's, some type of physics process that Leo himself invented.

I myself was skeptical of this process, until I played my ASAT through the above mentioned V4BH.

Now I'm convinced.




:D (just in case....)

You'd think that they would sell bottles of the stuff on their parts site.

Haven't tried a V4BH yet but I have been wanting one for a couple of years.

I love the punchines and thick mid range of the rig. My l-200 sounds AMAZING through it. :hyper:

I have a 15 cab too, but have been using just the 4X10. Too much lugging around!!!

What cab are you using with that V4BH?

"What cab are you using with that V4BH?"



I have (2) SLM Ampeg Classic cabs that I use:

An SVT-48HE, no longer made, it's a compact 4x8 w/ a horn-very impressive cab, lots of presence and quite focused

And:

AN SVT-15E; really helps round out the bottom.

For larger rooms, I use them both stacked; smaller gigs usually just the 4x8.

For recording, or "old-school" Blues, R&B, etc. the V4BH with the 15 alone has a sound almost like a Vintage B-15.
I've done some recordings where the Engineer has double-tracked the bass: direct-to-board and through the mic'd cabinet. Awesome!
The G&L ASAT certainly adds it's flavor to all this.
IMO, the MFD's really open up well through an all-tube power section.

I run a Markbass CMD 102P with a 104HF cab. This setup more than covers anything I apply it to-- I never really get the master past 9 o'clock.

Currently: Ampeg SVT 4-Pro > SVT 810E for the bigger gigs, SVT 4-Pro > SVT 410HLF for the smaller gigs. But I have a SVT-CL on the way :hyper:
