Favourite bass + rig combinations?

[Old Fart]

Fender Am Std P/Magnavox-era SVT/Mesa 2x15 with EVM's

 

[Munjibunga]

Just about any jazz-style bass into a GK MB800 and Bergantino AE210.

Jazz-style bass? In a P-bass thread?

You must not play pocket

My best sounding gig setup so far is my all walnut Spector Woodstock NS-2J SE played thru my Ampeg SVT VR into my Bergantino NV610.

My best studio setup is my Alembic Dragon Wing played thru my Thunderfunk TFB-420 into my Bergantino HT-322.

 

[JimmyM]

Anything into an Ampeg SVT/810 or B-15. And by anything, I mean from a vintage hollowbody to an active neck-thru slap machine.

 

[snaverb]

Gibson Thunderbird into Ampeg SVT with 810 cab. Sounds so awesome

 

[Digital Man]

My Ibby , TC Electronic rh450 and rebelstack 2x10

 

[Joey3313]

Stingray into GK800RB into 810 (or, in my case an 8x8 is pretty badass too).

My fav amp to play through has been my GK. It makes any bass sound at least usable. That being said, I reckon something like a Warwick would really shine through it. Their natural growl, with the perfect mids the GK gives out would be heaven. I'm sure I could use various cabs though. My Laneys let the mids out fairly nicely, and are not terrible in the low end. But I reckon I could still do better. Not played with enough cabs to know any names though.

LOL.

 

[gkbass13]

Fodera into an Aguilar DB 750 and Berg Ht322.

 

[phillybass101]

Man all I can say is that TBers have some awesome gear. No wonder I have GAS and have spent over 5k in gear since joining.

 

[deeptubes]

Fender Dimension/P Elite II -> GK 1001RB-II -> SWR Workingman's Tower

 

[sanderic]

Rickenbacker 4001, strung with Rotosound 66, through an Ampeg SVT with two 810 cabs. Fender Precision with Chromes through an Acoustic 370. Fender Jazz w GK MB200.

My Alembic Persuader can make pretty much anything sound good. Luckily, it has me around to balance that out. If I had to say, I am partial to GK heads and Heartke cabs (even though I don't own any), but that is one aspect of my tone I have not really explored.

 

[Floyd Eye]

Really digging the 4001/SVT/810 thing I got going on.

 

[sacobass]

Any passive maple bolt-on neck bass with handwound pickups into an all tube bass head plugged into 4X10's ,6X10's, or 8X10's.

 

[Webtroll]

Best tone I remember having was an 80s SVT through 2 "baby SVT" 2X15 cabs loaded with JBLs and a mid 70s P bass with an EMG PJ set, 9v with no EQ. Could have used that to demolish a house if need be. Don't have any of it anymore, and recent hernia surgery confirms it was the right thing to do.

 

[sharkwagon]

Alembic or Jaydee bass > quality tube pre or Reddi di > professional PA

Anytime I have heard this combination it has been a blissfully erotic sonic experience.

 

[JHandley]

Nothing real exotic here but great tones and punch from my nitrobass head/ 412 TVX half stack and either my mim jazz or my xaviere p.
Everything I need to play anything I want.
I like simplicity and tweekin knobs.
