Dream Rigs Pt. 987---and tell us why

Mines fairly easy, as it'd be what I'd like to build, but only if I didn't have to move it.

Speaker / Amps:
LF: 2x 18Sound 18ND9300 in a sealed cab, Adjustable Linkwitz Transform to get desired room response. Big SS poweramp, Quest QA4004
MB: JBL 2227H sealed cab, driven by 150W tubeamp
MF: 18S 10NDA610, driven by 50W version of MB tube amp
HF: Radian 850PB on 2" oblate speroid, driven by 18W tube amp.

All of the above driven by a driverack or BSS.

Preamp: Combined version of my tube design and discrete FET, switchable/blendable channels. Alembic SF2 and TC Electronic G-Major in each FX loop. All of this would have a custom midi controller so at the push of a button everything would adjust to the correct settings for a given song.
Peterson Strobe tuner.

Roadies:
Three very fit, toned and highly sexed ladies who are totally besotted with me. Preferably experts in martial arts and firearms. One who looks like Monica Belluci, one like Roselyn Sanchez and the other like Aya Ueto.

 

Beautiful driver! Talk about sensitvity too. Been toying with a large sealed box midrange for that one myself and thinking of getting a cheaper tube power amp for it.

Better get the more expensive driverack stuff, because this Peavey VSX 26 just smokes the Driverack PA.

I suppose I could share. But the plane tickets are on you.

 

For those people as confused by the thread title as I was:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Spitballing


EDIT Title of thread now changed.

 

Mesa 400+
Mesa Powerhouse Cab
A/B box for clean and gain channel

Done.

 

3 Genz Benz 6X10 cabinets might be fun to go with my 400PS, but the cabs I have now are great. Not having to move or set up would be plenty.

 

Mesa/Boogie Titan V-12 pushing two Accugroove Whappo Grande cabs. Then I would slave a big power amp capable of 2 ohms from the Titan and push 2 Bergantino NV610's and 2 NV215's. That's just the amp part of it, I don't even want to get into the FX and bass part.

 

Trace elliot hexavalve with NV610 and NV215 and ampeg V4 with NV610. Big clean tube tone, with awesome edge to it!
4 and 5 string P basses.
X2 wireless!

 

Or maybe they don't have any real idea what they're dream rig might be unless it's a std/classic like an SVT+810.

I'd be happy with a Yorkville U215 and my Yamaha SS amp, if I could have the pre and the integrated switching for FX etc. The rest I mentioned because I'm a nerd and like to build stuff.

 

I think this thread ain't more alive is because of the weird thread title. If you read it, you have no clue what it's about and a lot of people won't even open it.

Besides there is already a dream rig thread by phunky phat man

 

The low frequency tuning is an exact science doe to the processing power of puters and work in the 70's by a couple of guys called Thiele and Small. However, if you're looking for the driver to impart a certain 'tone', then that can be a bit of trial and error, but an understanding of what's going on can speed that.

I haven't found a lot of sites that are really helpful, but I'm sure they're out there. Vance Dickason's book is excellent, but a bit of a hard read technically.

If you'd like, give me a design spec for a cab you'd like to own and I'll do a step by step with pics and links to try to show how I go through the process and explain the technicalities. Probably not until tomorrow as I need some sleep.

 

How did that Hellborg sound when you played it?

 

Fender American Std. Jazz Bass (I'll have one soon enough)

If size and price aren't an issue:
Ampeg SVT head + 8x10" cab

Considering size and what I have already:
David Eden WT-600 Road Runner (have)
Bag End D12-D 2x12" (have)
Bag End S15B-D 1x15" (want)

 

2 X Genz Benz GBE 1200 amps on top of
2 X Genz Benz neoX 212T cabs on top of
2 X Dr. Bass 215 neo cabs
and I'll stick with my USA Peavey Millennium 5 plus

 

Four Eden D212XLT's, one stack on each side of the drumset
Two WT800C's bridged into these cabs
X2 Digital Wireless system with two transmitters, for main and backup basses


But I'd consider two D610XLT's, if I could ever test drive one to see if I like it as much as my 212.

 

I was going to say an SVT+810, but after thinking about it, I realized there are a lot of things I really like about a lot of rigs.

I actually like my V4+HT322 a WHOLE lot, sounds just killer.

I love the vintage SVT sound about as much.

Something about a GK head into SWR cabinets makes me want to leave home and be a fusion bassist.

Playing through Mesa cabs was awesome (but dang heavy).

I guess the point is, most people on here tend to go through some gear, and for me at least, There is not that one sound, there is that one sound for what you are looking for at the time.

 

Gallien-krueger 2001RB
Two GK, Neo 412
GK RF-III

All black Fender p/j special.

Good ol' grindy GK/fender goodness.
