It's a really great rig. The head is very vintage voiced and works so well with passive basses(P and J) and the vertical 410 needs to catch on for sure.

How many bass rigs do you have?

- Start date
Small: a little Blackstar 30-watt bedroom combo. Least used, mostly for an acoustic jam and stuff like that (I practice with headphones in a mixer)
Medium: GK MB210-ii combo. This is the most common gig workhorse.
Large (-ish, for me): TC Electronic rig with two 2x10 cabs (usually stacked vertically) and a 500-watt Thrust head. Most of the time these cabs live separately at drummers' houses so I just need to bring the head to practice, but I collect and stack them when there's a gig I want to make a bigger footprint on.

Two that I use regularly. Big rig = Magellan 800 + MG212 (and an MG112 if I need it). Small rig = ELF head + ELF 2x8 cabinet. I also have a couple of backup rigs as well, including several Genz Benz heads and cabs.

Ah, what fun
I guess this is my inventory:Cabs: Genz Benz Neox12T and Barefaced Super Compact
Heads: Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0, Ampeg PF20t and TC Electronic BH 800
Combos: Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 and a Trace Elliot BLX 80 combo
I really dig all of the above. Like Navin Johnson, each has it's own special purpose.
Two and a half:
VHT Classic 6 guitar head
w/ a 6ca7 tube that I use for bass; run it at half power mostly
Ampeg PF-20T with an ampeg Micro CL 2x10 that I use with the VHT also
Ampeg V-4B (the new one)and two PF-115he cabs.
Covers everything I need.

I like that wood on your bass and I like the training weights just close to the amp, training to be ready to lift those?
No I'm too lazy for it ....my wife is using 'emI like that wood on your bass and I like the training weights just close to the amp, training to be ready to lift those?
BTW, cabs are very light, only 13.5 kg each. Have no need to bulk up.
One rig two very capable heads. If I need more a BA 210-3 cab will be added to this BA 15-3 cab which works so well by itself! The heads are very similar in specs but are two different flavors of awesome tone.
Peavey MegaBass with unmatched Ampeg 115,and SWR Redhead which have
one at home and the Redhead at Church,not having to transport them around back in the younger years. Old School.
for me it's a sansamp-centric pedalboard into a QSC power amp into two LDS single 15 cabs; in my mind that means i have three bass rigs:
pedalboard, power amp, two cabs for loud gigs
pedalboard, power amp, one cab for quiet gigs
pedalboard direct and nothing else for silent stage in-ear only gigs (or big stage in-ear gigs where nobody including me would hear my cabs anyway)

I have four amps and five distinct cabs. All of them can be combined in various ways. My amps are very modular.
three, my modular versions of tiny/small, medium, and large. in practice, i mostly use a 300w head with any combination of one or two cabs ( 2x10, two 1x12) = my version of medium.
Considering the component nature of my collection, about 14 which is really misleading. Not using an effects pedal eliminates half of that number, and some configurations while possible, just make no sense. Which would eliminate another two or three.
On the job? 4 practical useful rigs.

One rig to rule them all. Ha! Thankfully, my main head is still attached to my neck.
Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2; Barefaced One10T and One10. Shuttle 6.0 hanging in the closet if I ever needed it. Genz Benz doesn't have issues, at least for me.
