Dream Rig

[TheBassPreacher]

I would have about 30 different all-tube bass amps for whatever mood i might be in.

+1, except they'd be made out of carbon fiber or something and only weigh like 5 lbs.

 

[gbazinet]

I think the same rig i have now. SVT and an 8x10. BUT maybe i would try something new lower watt... vintage Orange OR120 perhaps?

 

[sickest beast]

in all seriousness, I'm working towards attaining my "dream rig" right now. I'm putting a lot of money towards it as well.

 

[klejst]

I agree I am actually pretty content and love the rig I have now. But for the sake of the thread I would say I would upgrade to a Mesa PowerHouse 8x10 cabinet and switch my current amp out for a Mesa M6 or M9 Carbine. That would be a rig I could see myself playing happily if money were no issue.

For me, it's gotta be lightweight and compact. Even if money really was no object, I do love a real 'street sleeper' of a rig.

Currently using a Streamliner 600 into a Schro 15PL, but would like to swap the Schro for a 2x12", such as a Barefaced Super12T, or maybe a Genz Neox.

This rig, for me, would have everything:

1. Gorgeous, meaty warm tone.
2. Plenty of volume and real bottom end.
3. Super lightweight.
4. Small size - will fit in my Ford Puma dead easy.
5. One trip load in. Bass and amp in a gig bag, cab in hands!

Sorted!

I'd play exactly what I do now, but would get a car to get to gigs more easily and possibly invest in a Glockenklang pre amp.

My current pre has no features, like eq etc. and works extremely well-for recording especially- and I do not miss them either, but getting a more mainstream pre might come in handy none the less, from time to time.

 

[John D Harris]

Phil Jones P1 or Glockenklang Bass Art Classic Preamp into a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

Bongo 5 HH, Fender Roscoe Beck V, & Fender AmStd P5 as input instruments.

Roadies and a van would be a must!

Since I'd have roadies, I'd also take a Mesa M9 + Powerhouse 1200, a Genz Benz ShuttleMax 9.2 + Neox-112T (pair), and a Genz Streamliner 900 + Neox-212T.
That stuff plus most of the Bergantino cabs made over the years would probably keep me very happy.

 

[Ostrobothnian]

For my metal gigs:

ORANGE AD200B MK3 x2
+ ORANGE OBC410 x2

For everything else (except bedroom practice)

AGUILAR DB750
+ AGUILAR DB115 x2

Bedroom practice:

Phil Jones BG100 Bass Cub in red. Works as a great furnishing element

It sucks to be a student.

 

[cchorney]

Two Kustom 250 heads over two Kustom 215 cabs - black tuck-n-roll please - original 1970's gear and tone. I've got the cab now and it is amazing; sadly the two heads I have are both shot. But when they were working they sounded fantastic. One set of these is thunderous - two would be giggidy-licious!

 

[Jack]

Millennia Origin -> a suitably OTT Lab Gruppen amp -> 2x Berg NV610 for the big gigs and maybe something like a Barefaced Compact+Midget stacks for the small ones.

 

[dsanders]

I would treat myself with a blond busty (female) roadie

Win

 

[Jools4001]

I'd just add something like a fEarful 12/6/1 Cube with a reverse baffle to my existing rig so that I could use either the 12/6 or the 15/6 in standalone mode, or stack them. Apart from the possible addition of a nice mic channel type valve pre-amp I'm done.

 

[dsanders]

I'd play the same stuff I do now.

Same here.

 

[elavate7]

mines would be a good 300 watt head and a 212

 

[Essen]

An EBS TD660 with a Barefaced Super Fiften.
Which will be reality in a month or so

 

[MRDOOM]

Ashdown BTA 400 through two 810's. Simple as that.

 

[ksandvik]

500W through 4x10 or 1x12 + 2x10. Hey that's what I got.

 

[fuzzy beard]

60s Ampeg b18 head in perfect shape and working order with 2 new Vintage Blue b15 cabs. All covered in origanal tolex! Yeah a b18 with 2 115s wont pound a stadium but we all have different dreams!

 

[bassophil]

I'd have Glockenklang build me an 8x10" and a 4x15" and then decide which I like better (although I would probably keep both anyway).
They would also have to build me a 10 band graphic EQ with adjustable Q-factors into one of their amps

 

[canadian*eh]
