Um...like 5 I guess?

I have 3 bass heads - GK 800RB, GK MB500, and Peavey 400 Bass
2 heads that can be used for bass - Music Man HD130 Reverb, Ampeg V4 Reverb
4 "bass" cabs - Peavey 1x15 w/ scorpion, Ampeg 1510HE, Hartke Hydrive HD112 x 2
1 cab that can be used for bass - Peavey 412f (with Eminence speakers)
And 1 combo - Yorkville (aka Traynor) Block 80B

I'd guess, using some combination of the above, I could create 5-6 unique "rigs."

Combos
SWR 60W cube with a 10 and switchable horn. This is my brothers favorite bass amp to close mic when recording bass. I’ve used it with a couple of Deluxe Reverbs and a cocktail kit and it holds its own just fine in small rooms
SWR Working Pro 12. I got this because of its wedge shape and ability to serve as a powered monitor when I needed a monitor so I could hear myself in a particularly loud band. It is a great little amp with all kinds of features, but heavy as hades for it’s size.
Fender Rumble 500 combo. I got this because I wanted to use my little cube and I needed a bribe for my brother so he’d let me take the cube. He still wants it back when he’s recording but I get to use it between sessions because he’s got the Fender for jams and such.

*Have not seen this one in a few years. I loaned it out and the guy left town with it. He swears he’s still got it and will bring it back to me if he ever comes back to town. :D
 
Current amps that I use to play out include gk 200 watt head,

Question: this is a great sounding amp, are the new legacy and fusions as good as this one?

TE Elf, Quilter bass block 800.

I want to pair the Bass Block with double cabs, what do you recommend I get? another PJ C4 or the another TE 2x8?

Mix and match all of it really, but the EA stuff is great for upright and electric, but sometimes it’s nice to run tubes, the Mesa Buster is a ton of fun and I find it reasonably sized. The iAmp is great but I’m thinking of finding something super compact and portable.

EA iAmp 800
Mesa Buster Bass Head

Cabs
EA 12” Wizzy
EA (2) NL210
Mesa PH2x15
 
AI head and DoubleShot (jazz / acoustic gigs) 2 EA 112 (rock gigs)
100 watt tube power amp and tube or solid state pre-amps and EA 110 (home use)

In the shed, I'll never take this out anymore. Mesa 400 Diesel 115 and 210

Also have a Clarus combo -- which does double duty as guitar amp

I'd like to say I have 2 for proper gigging, but I think are below 124 dB SPL which is what Wasnex has said is ideal.
 
4 rigs, swappable with multiple cabs.
Selling some Aguilars this week, if all goes well.
Getting ready to sell an amp and probably a bass.
Dont want to sell any of them as use them all but want space back..
