My new 700RB-II and Neo 212....awesome MROD.

Just played it at a gig in a hotel main ball room with about 400 people crammed into it and it was thumpalicious.

Complements from my bandmates and audience alike.

Nice loud Blues Brothery stuff to break it in. We did Gimme Some Lovin' and Peter Gunn (our horns killed). Good time had by all.

basically this:


plus this when I want to cause some real destruction:

OK, if you insist. My Aguilar AG500-112C post-dates this picture. Ditto my WTX-500.

This thread just gave me GAS for a Mesa 400+ in the worst kind of way :-(

This kind of thing can get crazy... don't worry about that any! Besides, good sound is good sound- make that little booger work!

Cool bass in that pic. There was one hanging at the Knoxville GC, last time I was there.

This is really working out well for me. I just re-tubed with Tung-Sols and the rig sounds so darn good!

[bad_andy]

The Ampeg Rig - SVTII 75 lbs + PR-1832HE lbs = 242 lbs

This is my main rig used currently only used with my main gigging band which owns a U-Haul truck.

The Portable Rig - Avatar Contra Head 6 lbs + Avatar 210 NEO 45 lbs + Avatar 212 75 lbs = 126 lbs

This is the rig for pickup gigs and side work. It fits in the back of my F-150 extended cab. I also use it for rehearsals just with the head and 210 for a combined weight of 51 lbs.

The Voltron Rig - Both rigs combined for a total weight of a stage-creaking 368 lbs.


We play at an outdoor bar on the Missouri River called the Anchor Inn which features a ridiculously large private stage. As you can imagine, bass frequencies evaporate quickly up there. The Rig of Doom, as my guitarist calls it, allows me to hear what I'm doing without overdriving anything.

OK, so it's not a bass amp, but it is an Ampeg, and it was my very first amplifier!

[Kenny Allyn]

Here is a new head I recently aquired ...

1973 Marshall Super Bass 100



I'm not much on the old Marshall bass cabs though, so we are gonna build a one of a kind "retro" cab the size of a standard
4x12 half stack but loaded with some B&C drivers I had laying arond the warehouse ... it will have 12s and a 6.5 midrange,

photos as we get a little more into the project.
