So that totals out to way too many, but I'm having fun ;)
 
Mesa/Boogie D-180 amplifier

Sunn 2000s cab (2x15)
Ampeg SVT-15E cab (1x15)
Ashdown MAG 210 Deep cab (2x10), that I'm trying to sell.

Roland Cube 15 guitar combo sometimes used for practice at low volume levels or, more often than not, with headphones.

My band also owns a Peavey Mark IV head that I've used when my amp's been in the shop, or when I've been too lazy to bring it from home.
 
I just sold my Schroeder 610L, and ordered a Barefaced Big Twin T to go with my Ashdown MK-500.

I also have a TC Electronic rig RH750/RS210/RS212.

Would love a small, high quality combo as well, but find it hard to justify the cost. My wife finds it impossible.

...you could maybe just pick up a rs112 for the rh750? Much cheaper than a high quality combo. She'll love it ;)
 
Too many!

Hartke B20 - for home practice
Hartke Kickback 15 - for small gigs without PA support and medium gigs with good PA support. Easy to carry and great as a personal monitor
Peavey Special 130 w/ Marshall DBS 2x10 - rehearsal rig 1
Tech G308 12" combo w/ DIY 12" extension - rehearsal rig 2 - combo setup with balls. For gigs where I don't feel like hauling the big rig around.
Madamp BP1Mk1 into IMG STA-235 (2x500W power amp) w/ Hartke 410XL and Hartke 115XL - for gigs with less-than-ideal PA support. Love this rig, but don't want to carry it around unless necessary.
 
I've cut WAYYYY back:

Heads:
-Kustom200
-GK 400rb
-Traynor YBA-3cs

Cabs:
-Acoustic 6x10
-Acoustic 4x10
-Peavey 1x15

Combo:
-Peavey Micro Bass 1x10



The only thing i'm REALLY GASing for these days, is a GK MB210. But, one of my bands is trying to get me to pick up an 8x10 (or another 4x10). :hmm:
 
Kustom 200 - :cool: :cool: :cool:

Since it's still delivering, I'd say that they desever the same "Tank" reputation as old Peaveys. I used to have one and liked it better than the matching (3 x 15") CTS loaded cab. If it would have been a 2 x 15" JBL, I might have kept the whole rig...
 
I have 2 combos:
  • Pignose Hog 30
  • Ampeg B-1

I have 5 backline rigs:
  • Kustom 200B w/ 3-15" CTS
  • Fender Studio Bass (head) w/ 2-15" BassmanVT
  • Ampeg SVT w/ 810E
  • Acoustic 320 w/ 408
  • Sunn Coliseum w/ 2 Sonaro cabs + 115RH

I have some orphan cabinets:
  • Eden D410XLT (waiting for a boutique amp)
  • Custom 2x10" monitor (stage monitor made from salvaged Peavey cabinet)
  • Kustom 1G+1H (side-fill monitor w/ hi-powered divers)
 
5 bass amps:

3 x early 70s Marshall Super Bass
1 x mid-70s Marshall model 1986 (50W version of the Super Bass)
1 x late 90s Marshall VBA 400 (currently my main amp)

3 bass cabs:

1 x mid-80s Marshall model 1520 4x12 (currently in my rig)
1 x mid-80s Marshall model 1552 2x15 (currently in my rig)
1 x mid-80s Marshall model 1551 2x15

Cheers!

Other two cabs I made recently myself: 6+10 (approx 180 w / 8 ohm) and 2x8 (450 w / 4 ohm)
