Okay, I have to confess, since finding TB the amp thing has got a little out of control. Well, the 800RB is on it's way out anyway.

i have two rigs, my Fender Bassman 400 combo that i got in '99 which lives in my band's practice space (and has to go through the PA to be heard), and my gigging rig, Mesa 400+ through an Ampeg PR410HLF (with the appropriate Sansamp and Fulltone bells and whistles, of course :p )

This is gonna be embarassing:

Four bass combos

Five heads (plus a sixth with a broken preamp that I use only as a power amp for PA)

One power amp (used only for PA right now)

Three speaker cabinets (but I just sold three others late last year)

Two guitar combos (I used to use one as a practice amp for bass)

Why do I own so many? Well, most of them were bought used and VERY cheap so it just wasn't worth selling them when I got another...why bother getting rid of an amp that only cost me $10??

Hey, I have one EA that you don't have! :smug:

37 cabs - I'd sure like to see that rig all going at one time! BTW, where's your warehouse - I want to break in some time.

Actually, I have used the majority of those cabs on several occassions. When I have to run our own sound, I use my bass cabs for PA and for monitors. I even ended up using one small amp and cab as a backup guitar rig when our lead guitar player blew a fuse (literally).

I manange to cram this all in my "music room" which is a basement bedroom, and needless to say, there isn't a lot of room for moving around in there (though I do have room to sit and play!).
