Amp/Cab Survey results...

Interesting percentages. In typical sports fashion they add up to more than 100%.
Lots of bass players have more than one rig! There are always different ways to present numbers, but in this case its the percentage of respondents who have selected each option. If you consider, say, a player who has a biamped sub plus mid rig for big gigs, and a 1*12 combo with tweeter for small gigs then they would be checking 4 options.

exactly. at one time, I combined 10s and 15s. Now I typically do 1 15, but prefer to add a 12 if circumstances permit. And I recently got a single 8 for low-impact situations. So -- while I did not participate in the survey -- my answers would necessarily vary and I expect the same would be true for most others
