I'm curious what the G&L players here are running through. Given our phenominal taste in basses, I'm guessing we have some equally impressive rigs. I'll start. I'm gonna be in the market for a new head soon, and looking for ideas. I'm thinking an Eden or Aguilar. For now this suits me just fine though.

I've got pictures of most basses I've owned and lots of other stuff, but none of my rig. I'll fix that tonight when I go to rehearsal.
One thing to remember - although G&Ls are tonal nirvana for many, they are also incredible bang-for-the-buck. So you may find some rigs that are in the "high value" category rather than the "boutique" category. At least that's how mine fits:
BBE Bmax SS -> Carvin DCM-1000 -> 1-2 Avatar B112s & 1 Avatar SB-112
And I've got a Yamaha BBT-500H coming in to check out. I love the BBE/power amp setup but am getting tired of lugging a 40-50lb rack around. The TFB-420 I just passed on would have been perfect but I traded it for another G&L . . .

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: New York City | | | I play an Ampeg SVT3Pro through a BLB 4x10 cabinet. It's been the same rig since 1995. I am currently considering an Eden WT550 and maybe two D112XLT cabinets but I haven't made up my mind yet. |

Here's my 'big rig'. I think we share similar tastes..(Excuse the pictures. We are having some construction done at home and everything is coated with dust). 
Practice rig. I like to mix and match the S12 with the S15s

main rack - BBE Bmax SS, Sennheiser 1092D wireless, Carvin DCM-1000
aux rack -Carvin DCM-1000
1 or 2 Avatar B112s
1 Avatar SB112
I'd have more configurations pictured but not all the pictures came out clear (dang failing evening light). It'll get more complex if I like the BBT-500H and start using it (lots more ways to put things together).
The 3-12s with both racks on top was about 6' tall

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Metro D.C. and Brooklyn, NY | | this is a rather old one 
My G&L is one of the first run L2500's that came out. Bought it in '96 or '97
The Singray I bought in about '95 (?)
The WorkingMan's 12 has since died. I'm using a borrowed SVT 200T with the same 1x15
I'm looking for a new head to call myown, will probably get an SVT 4 Pro...

Rice Custom Guitars, Inc | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Itasca IL | | I feel right at home. '82 L-1000 through a GK800RB into a pair of Bag End 15 (non-coax) cabs.
Occasionally use a Voodoo Labs Tremolo pedal and BOSS tuner pedal and maybe a BOSS DD-6 delay. 
My second rig is an Acoustic Image Contra into a Bag End coax 15. The acoustic Image cab doesn't get along so well with the G&L at volume, so it gets practice duty and upright work. I have an L-2000 fretless coming that should be heavenly through this. No pics of that setup yet. |
