GK 1001RB-II and a Dr. Bass 112. I want to add a 1260 for extra oomph, but its not necessary right now, I'm not giging. I've A/B'd my rig with several other heads and cabs in the last few months and I'm still happy with it.

Now if I could just get my basses to work properly...

It took me a while to find my rig (about 2 years). But right now, I am 100% satisfied with my Eden WT-600 and Mesa Roadready 6x10.

I am very very happy with my rig - it took 17 years of buying and selling gear, but I finally have my perfect sound. Orange AD200B with two OBC115 cabinets. Perfection.

After years of buying and selling, I finally am content with my Ampeg SVT-CL and Sadowsky SA410 cab.

For my needs I'm pretty happy. Carvin B800, BBT210S, SSB212. I was actually pretty happy with my previous head, a Tubeworks RT3300, but due to it's age the pots started to get scratchy.

I'm happy.

Played a gig last Friday for the Ragbrai bike ride across Iowa.It was for the bicyclists end of the day party and was supposed to be in a big tent so I just brought my Dr Bass 310 neo cab and left my Dr Bass 115 cab at home.It ended up being outside at a bowling alley parking lot with a big stage and sound system.I use an RBI preamp and a Crown XTI 1000 bridged for 1000 watts at 8 ohms and really got to crank it.The bass wasn't in the monitors at all and the guy who ran sound said he hardly had to put any bass guitar in the FOH either.This is the second time I've used the 310 by itself at a larrge outside show and it again floored me how loud,clear and deep this little 53 pound cabinet sounds.My rack weighs about 30 pounds so my load in is easy and my rig kills.What more could a guy ask for from a bass rig?

"Happy with your rig" is a good place to be.

I use a Peavey Tour 450 going into a Bergantino HT210. The cab is the best 2x10 I've ever played through and the Peavey Tour heads are very underrated - they sound fantastic. I'm really happy with my rig.
