I figured with Christmas coming this would be a fun thread. Soooo, if you had all of the above. What would be using? Be as creative or simple as you want.
Take Care,
Brent

A UA channel strip and a ridiculously nice set of IEMs, and a giant pedalboard.

Pretty much what I have now, but I'd either have acoustic USA to custom build me a 215 to go with my 370. That or a couple of fender 300s, one with an 8 10, another with a 2 15

Thats a tough one. It would definitely be 2 amps, One dry amp for the lows with some compression and wet amp for the mids and highs.

16 Fender Bassman's, 32 JBL 15's, 1 Precision bass (I don't break strings). I'd need the roadies to turn it all into a 16 high crossfired vertical array.





Oh, and I guess some vintage bell-bottoms, modern-day pantlegs aren't good flappers.

I'm quite content as it is. Roadies would be nice, though.

2 Ampeg SVT-II Pro's -or- 2 GK 2001 RBs

Basically a pair of 6X10's or 8X10's and a pair of matching heads.

Doug Pinnick's rig and of course a road crew.

But with the size of the clubs I play in I'd have to change it from 3 8x10 cabinets to either 3 4x10 Hartke or 3 2x10 Hartke cabinets. But I still want the rest of his toys. Then maybe I could unravel the mystery behind his "tone".

Roadies (and large stages) are the key to this equation. But... yeah, I'd probably get a bunch of Electric Amp heads and a few 810's, 412's, and 215's. Because... why not? I'd also get rigs of varying sizes for different size gigs: say, a Reeves 225 with a nice 3 way cab for club gigs, and I'd absolutely keep my current Walkabout stack for those quieter moments (AND RECORDING).
