I'm beginning to think I don't belong here. I have two: a Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0-10T with an extension 10T, and a Mesa/Boogie Walkabout with two G-B 10T cabs. Probably I'll sell or trade off the G-B combo, now that the M/B rig:D is set up.

Wow, you guys have some smokin' stuff. Sorry, I'm late replying. Had to go play a gig from hell where we got blown away in gale force wind and rain.

I need to sell some of my stuff, but I don't have much energy for it since none of it would bring me much. I only use some of it anymore, the rest just sits. Maybe I'll run up on some kid who doesn't have any money and make his day for him. Who knows.
 
I have two amps- a peavey windsor, and a pre/power setup. The windsor goes to large gigs with good PA support and is used for recording. The pre/power goes to gigs without PA support. It's nice having a backup. I also used to have a 76 Ampeg 810 and a 2x15 but I had to downsize. Right now I have a 4x12 and plan on getting another, I miss the sound of a full stack.
 
:cool:

Genz Benz Streamliner 600- Schroeder 2x15 cab.
My main live rig.

Fender Bassman 100 Head.
Ampeg V4B Head.
I use these heads with a Ampeg 70's 4x10 closed back cab.
For some live gigs.

Ampeg B15R-Pending sale?

Combo's.
Ampeg B50R- used for recording, practice.
Ampeg B100R-rehersals, small gigs.
 
An SWR Silverado, Mesa Boogie D180 with a Boogie 18in. cab, a PJB BG800 Roadcase, a PJB Briefcase with a PJB 4x5 cab, an Orange Tiny Terror Bass Amp with an SP212 and an OBC115 are the ones currently in use. I also have 2 Guass cabs, a GK212, and a GK1001RBII which are curently not being used. I practice through a SWR California Blond. Playing bass is what I do instead of golfing, bowling, or various other pastimes, so I've accumulated a lot of gear.
 
Overkill here as well but I like them all

For band practice/small gigs - Eden Metro 210xlt
Blues Retro Vibe - 1969 Plush 1060-s w/Epifani P-115
Big Rig - SVT-CL/ HLF-410
For the house - Fender Bassman 25 110
If I had to choose one rig, probably would be the Eden with the Epifani under it
 
Pre/power rack rig I won’t even count ‘cause I’ll probably never use it again.

Heads:
GK MB500
Line6 HD400

Cabs:GK 212MBE
Fender Pro 410 x 2

Combo:TC Electronic BG500 15”


The Combo stays in the band trailer and covers most all of my gigging needs, the HD400 sits on the 410s in the studio so I use it for rehearsals/jams, the rest sits for now.
