I'm in, although the only Behringer product I currently own is their C3 Dual Large Diaphram Mic.
Came with a hard shell case, clip and a velvet bag.
Works totally awesome!, and ready for the price? $89.99 new...no complaints.

Dont have a Behringer Bass rig but I do have a Behringer Euro Desk 32x8x2 Mixing Console. Does that qualify me?
behringer gear is cheap for good reason.
ever try getting it repaired or finding parts for it?
the tech at my local shop has a stash of dead behringer gear to pull individual parts off of... because you can't order parts for it.
i have been using my 300w behringer head since they hit the market, i bought mine the day before official release because it was super super cheap for the wattage and didn't sound too bad. i power my 1x15 peavey black widow speaker with it. this rig has taken quite a pounding over the years and still sounds identical to day one, but i treat my gear with respect. my guitarist however has a behringer 2x10 combo 400w that hasn't been treated with respect. the input jacks were all screwed up until i came along. i wanted to repair it but they were attached to a small pcb and weren't just regular old jacks. fortunately the tech at my shop had just the thing to replace them with, as scavenged off another piece of gear. that only cost 35$ for me to have done! hooray! sometimes you don't have the time or patience to do it yourself.
i own a mixer as well, and so does the guitarist. noisy as all getout, so much hiss! and then you turn up the built in fx loop, ohhhhh man. terrible. well, at least it was super cheap and it works!
honestly, i won't get another piece of behringer gear again, but it certainly serves its purpose as low price low end gear that almost sounds as good as something two or three times the price!

It is cheaper to buy a new Behringer 4 x 10 cab than to buy a replacement speaker. 
I really want to hate their stuff but I can't! Our new guitarist has a Bugera tube amp head and it sounds fantastic, I use a BB410 cab as an extension to my 300 watt Laney RB8 practice combo for larger gigs and you don't want to be anywhere near it with the volume above 4 if you treasure your eardrums, it gives out a punchy sound with no clipping or distortion and it's built like a tank.
The bass amps however are another thing. They look cheap (but then again they are!) and the knobs don't make a lot of difference to the sound (I like the Ultrabass though, totally impractical but a nice toy) and the electronics are fragile and don't like being moved around a lot which kind of rules them out for the regular gigging bass player. I have no experience of their combos to compare though.
I happen to like Behringer gear but I don't like liking it.....
which I think sums up Behringers market, they seem to have found a niche, best of luck to 'em!

Since I need a cabinet to go with my Madison Phat-210 head (400w, valve/solid state) I just ordered a Behringer BB210. So I suppose I get a number.
Call me the King of Budget/off-brand gear.

Just an unsolicited testimonial here,I've been gigging the shorts off of one o' them for almost two years now(Ampeg B2r head). I'm talking some real abuse here! Open mics included. The Horn spit it's last about two weeks ago, but aside from that? It's still putting out. Thinking about adding one and stacking. I must have gotten a good one.
Update:
After two days of basement 'shedding, I've got to say I'm very happy with the sound of my budget rig. Been playing my RockBass Corvette through it and it really sounds great. Tight, punchy and responsive. I've got to admit, I bought the head off of the 'bay because the price was good. Had no idea what to expect. But all is good so far. Next will be my passive OLP fiver, see how the low B sounds. Only problem...........Stack another 210 or get a 115 to put underneath it?
S. Harrison and his budget rig of impending doom (400w@ 75 cents apiece)

I thought the Mixers were cheep but I must admit you can get all the owners manuals on-line and I almost bought that 450 head for my bass(got an ampeg instead)but I would get Behringer stuff I always carry 2 of everything to shows anyway 2 cabs 2 heads 2 bass'es so If I got my G-K or ampeg I will try behringer(I had bad luck with the board not once but 2 different boards but I do a cable access TV show and we did a show spotlighting the entire line and it did impress so how much behringer do I have at the moment... none but want a line mixer for my home practice space

I have one for The Club: 
Ever wonder why Behringer doesn't make any Lightweight combos or cabs? There's a market for that stuff, and they don't play yet.
Behringer combos and cabs are very heavy. I'm getting too
old to lug them.

One little thing I would like to point out to everyone. Rule #6 is something you all should be aware of.
Now Behringer Clubbers, carry on!

I own both the V-amp pro's and the BB410 cab, I also have a behringer mixer, headphone amp and a few effect pedals, all still working perfectly. Only product I ever bought that failed was the hellbabe wah, had 3 in a row that were faulty so I just gave up.
