I recently finished building my first proper bass rig, and I wanted to post here to give all of the great TB members who pushed me in the right direction a big THANKS! So, if you can't tell from the pic, from top to bottom I've got an SKB 8-Space Roto rack, and inside I've got a Furman M-8X2 Power Conditioner, a Tech 21 Sansamp RPM, a BBE 382i Sonic Maximizer, and a Crown XLS 602D power amp. Underneath, I've got a 1974-ish Ampeg V4 cab! I took it with me to play pep band for the Timberwolves game at the Target Center on the 9th, and it sounded like THUNDER!
Even though the look of that is fairly avante-garde, I really like it for some reason. I'd imagine it sounds something like rock n roll should.
Actually, I'll probably put a rackmount tuner in sometime, and then possible one of those old Ibanez UE-405s or Roland SBF-325s that I've been eying up lately
