How do you like bass rigs to look?

[Infiltration12]

I love to see bass rigs that look powerful and have cords running all over the place. Not too messy, but definitely not clean. Almost all black, as many cabinets as possible, a few red lights, lots of knobs, buttons and switches...

Sure, some super clean, high tech setups look awesome as well. What do you want your rig to look like? Include pictures if you can.

This works for me!

I want All white Tolex.

Still working on that.

I still think the best *looking* rig out there is the Ampeg Vintage Reissue SVT with matching 8x10.

edit: But a White Hot Aguilar DB412 with AG500 in matching head case would also be fantastic.

The Ox had it down. The ultimate 1980's Trace Elliot rack system; I don't even know what the hell half of that stuff is.

^^^ That would work too!

-All cabs and amps the same brand
-No more than 2 10"s per 15" or 18" (sensitivity matching rule of thumbery)
-Smaller drivers higher in the stack
-All cabs have the same footprint
-One tweeter max
-Unthrashed equipment all around


Those perfectly matching P and J-basses are way cool too.

Somewhat mismatched cab brands. And I agree with Punksweeper about speaker size ratios. No more than two 10" speakers per 15" speaker. Smaller speakers higher. Amps with glowing lights and some knobs and switches, and tubes glowing. No racks. Everything not totally trashed, but not pristine either.

Like this...I have others but I love playing through this.

LOUD, that's how

Also, no matter what it needs to be at least nipple height.

White hot aggie is sweet. i prefer (and own) the classic black though.

 

[Destructobot]

Huge, simple, and with tubes.

2 810s stacked on their side, Nothing on top, With a rack slightly higher than one of the 810s beside the two cabs.

This works for me!

I used to run those same cabs.I always ran the xlt on its side to get some height. Great setup hated selling it.......sorry for the derail.

This works for me!

Glad to see that P Bass sitting up higher than the J Bass cuz the P owns! Haha jk but anyway, I love how Ashdown amps look. Their blue speakers are the coolest in my opinion, though that's not the only reason why I like them. They just so happen to sound incredible too.

i like my rig to look like a cool breeze on a hot summer day.

+1.
-I prefer heads in non-rackmount style cases
-I dislike when an amp head is wider than the cabinet it's sitting on.
Right now this is working for me.

basically, i would like amps to look 'invisible'. that way the audience could give all of their attention and focus on me (-------just kidding!!!!!!-------).

but if i do have to have something sharing the stage with me, i like to take this one:
