Gamer cruise with 2tek. P bass. Both going into a gk fusion 550 and an older mesa powerhouse 410. Thnk I'm done. Always liked gk heads. Just couldn't get along with gk cabs. Went through every single neo cab and realized they just don't cut it for me. Will miss the light weight but not the sound.

Anone actually satisfied with their rig?

I'm pretty satisfied with what I have (so far). Squier P-Bass and a Hofner Icon, a selection of Boss pedals, played through two GK MB115 combos. Plenty loud enough, and not a pain in the butt to transport. So far I'm satisfied, but with GAS there's no telling what might come down the pike.
I am very content with everything in my collection. My bass and amp options suit me and my band perfectly. As someone else already stated, GAS seems to work independent of whether you are satisfied or not.
I'm good.
Fbass BN5
Fender fretted Jazz
Fender fretless Jazz

I'm happy with most of my gear ... doesn't mean I have stopped looking though, GAS is forever. 
One or two of my pedals will probably be replaced this year, not that I absolutely have to, but because it's fun to try different things. The equipment is a big part of the hobby, I'm not ashamed to admit that, but I also realize it has little to do with the music I play and the skills I (don't) have. As long as you're not fooling yourself that the next piece of gear will make you a great player I see nothing wrong in indulging in new toys every now and then.

A 12/6/1-cube atop a 15/6/1.
Cool. I was going to save up for an F212, and I probably still will, but I hit an offer from a very good dude here on TB to grab his 15/6/1 for a pretty decent price so I'm going to go for that first. Them save for a Mesa M9. After all that, if I'm still wanting the F212, I'll probably go for it. But it'll be nice to have a taste of greenboy before I make the decision to go that big for the F212.
pair of SWR Golight 1x12's, GK mb500 does the trick for me. Before this rig I was one of those guys with a 6 foot - 250lbs+ rig. Got over the hunt and now have what I have been happy with for over a year now.
I was, and am still, happy with my primary setup, Fender Precision > Ampeg BA210 combo. Great tone, small footprint, built in tuner, and DI for the larger shows.
But I'm even happier now with the addition of my new little Ampeg BA112 combo to grab and go for smaller gigs/jams and practices. Tiltback, half the weight of my larger combo, killer tone, and I'll let you in on a secret, has just enough built in grind to make it a perfect blues guitar amp as well.
I'm loving my little Ampeg siblings.

That 15/6 is quite a cab - clean and clear, with huge low-end - but I don't think you can go wrong with any of greenboy's designs.
Thanks for the info. I've never played through any of the greenboy cabs, I'm going off of all the praise they've gotten here on TB. Any other info is much appreciated. I like clean and clear out of a cab considering the amount of effects I use.
Uptill now, Yes. Then again, i just started out a year ago, just playing in my apartment, were its noisy as hell. Who knows what time will bring me. Bought my amp a week ago, after trying out alot of brands and setups. I turned out to love Markbass, it has " that sound" for me. Great amp running with my Fender jazz or G&L L2000. Lovin it
Ancient Hartke Model 2000 hybrid head>SWR 210 topcab & Hartke 115 bottom cab. Driven by a Warwick RB Streamer 5er and a Kramer Striker fretless. Have the EQ section set up for the fretless and switch it off for the 5er. Simple. Not a lot of clean headroom on this one, so I have to push it pretty hard for live gigs. Lotsa tube growl added in with Warwick (with low/clanky setup) and this thing sounds amazing. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd just buy bigger versions of the same.
been using the d180 and two orange 115s, totally dig the tone from my sb-2, l2k, jazz, and flying v, however i think that the pickups in all of the basses are a major contributing factor, i didn't have a sweet jazz tone till i got the alleva coppolo pickups, also for shows where i need to go clean/dirty i use the rat tail in front of the d180, rather than the head by itself
