Orange fanboy checking in. 2 Sp212 and a TB500.

Dietz 3x15 I had years ago. Holy cow was it heavy but damn did it sound good.

Wow-- never heard of that one before! That's awesome!

In all seriousness though, I always smile when I turn around on stage and see mine smiling back at me.

Where are those twenty SVT's from?

I have a thing for the Genzler Bass Array cabs. Puts a smile on my face whenever I catch a glimpse of them. This 210/115 rig packs a pretty good punch.

I like how the line array drivers line up so neatly for the two different types of cabs! Definitely a really cool look!

Mine is a black version with three three 15" cab which looks much better than the 2x15" but it's entombed behind a console organ and other stuff.

Vintage Tuck-&-Roll, baby! I like it!

I used this for a bit.
And this too…

You get extra cred points if your stack is taller than you are

In!

I posted this pic a couple years ago, but I think it certainly qualifies for a "Coolest Looking Cabs" thread:

I love my Ampeg. Absolutely wonderful sound. I refer to this as my " Portaflex stack".

I use this for bigger rooms, she's my roadie and is a lot stronger than she looks.

If you're not a bassist who plays a P-bass strung with flats, I'll only be able to respond one way:

I like my Carvin MB15/115MBE neo rig for how compact, powerful (200/250w) and simple it is.

I'm a bit biased....

I absolutely love:

From back when I used to rock 3 SOBs, the only pic I could find was this one with crappy lighting and with them in an L shape instead of stacked due to the stage being a little rickety

Here's a better shot of just 2 as background for the bass I had just built

 

[Chickenwheels]

One of the best bass sounds from the era...

Exactly what the thread title says-- what cabs or rigs did you see on stage, in a magazine, or whatever, that made you say "THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!"?

My nominees:

1) The "Big F(ri)cking Cabinet", part of a "Tri-Amp" rig that included a 1200 watt head ran the upper portion of the cabinet-- 4x10's with (2) hi-frequency drivers-- in stereo, while running the lower portion of the cabinet -- a 1x15 -- in mono as a sub. This cabinet was Gibson-era TE, but shown here with what appears to be an older TE head:

2) The Glockenklang 6-Box (6x10). I love the look of this, mostly due to the sturdy, linebacker-like stance, and the arrangement of the ports-- like a 2x10+T was placed on top of a 4x10 and the two were merged:

3) The SWR Henry The 8x8. Big Cabinet? Check! Lots of drivers? Check! Frickin' huge ports? Check! The only problem is, I feel the need to keep the number of "8's" running, and play it through a 400W tube head with (8) KT-88's!

4) The Genz-Benz NEOX-212T. Yeah, sure, you can tell me all you want about that modern vertical 2x12's from other manufacturers are more efficient for their footprint, blah, blah, blah. But no "small" cab on the market today made quite the same visual statement as this broad-shouldered, dual-symmetrical-monster-sized-port'ed beast!

5) And of course, the king of rigs, in my opinion-- The Acoustic Control Corp 360\370. I don't feel a need to comment on this further-- just let it stand on its' own:

Do you have some favorites?

The acoustic 360 was my fav. Best rig I ever owned. BUT very, very heavy.
