Ampeg SVT Linden, NJ, refitted for JJ KT88's biased and tuned by Bob Dixon,
driving a Squareback 810 with fresh CTS speakers. Alongside a St. Louis SVT II,
tubed with JJ 6550's biased and tuned by Bob Dixon, driving an Angleback modern
810 fitted with JBL E-110 drivers. A Pendulum Audio Mercenary Edition channel strip
for use as a direct box. Stop me dreaming.

Right now I'm wanting a white Thunderbird that is splattered with coloured paint, with 2 1/4 pounders and a Jazz neck... mmm
Into an Ampeg amp, maybe GK.

Two Custom Shop Fender Jazz Basses. One of the would be a carbon copy of Barry Oakley's TRACTOR Bass, and the other would be a copy of Jack Casady's '67 Monterey Pop Festival Jazz set up
For amps: 2 SVT heads with 4 Fender 2X15 JBL Dual Showman bottoms.

Rickenbacker 4003 (most of the time with high-gain bridge pickup soloed, toaster neck pickup for those quieter bits) with nickel-wound rounds into an Ampeg SVT. The head would then power an Ampeg 8x10, and an Electric Green (or perhaps blue, or black, or maybe even purple) 4x15. Actually, maybe make that two SVT's...
Effects would be Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, some reverb pedal (or just the EHX Holy Stain, depending on how close the distortion is to the Big Muff) and my Morley dual bass wah. Effects used semi-sparingly.

My '73 Jazz and/or '74 P through my Ampeg SVT-CL. The only thing I would change is upsizing my 4x10 Ampeg cab to an 8x10.
I custom ESP or a high end spector into two CL's with sansamp rpi, into two 810e classic.

Right now I'm thinking this would be wicked:
4 Gibson Thunderbirds (2 outfitted with MM pups and pre's)
into
2 SVT-2 Pro Heads (One as a backup)
2 8x10 SVT-AV Cabs
1 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Head
1 Orange 4x12 cab
I think that would be pretty awesome.

I see a whole lot of 810 dreaming goin on here. Why don't more people use them?
I'm actually pretty content with my current rig:
GK1001RBII
Ampeg 810
Boss CS-3 comp
Sansamp Paradriver
Fender Jazz Deluxe

Gibson RD Artist and a Ric 4003... both white/ivory with black pickguard.
Some nice vintage solid state heads (Acoustic/sunn/peavey) through an Emperor 8x10 and 2x15... for whatever reason i don't like tube amps very much...

4 GK 410RBH 8 ohm cabs. That's all I'd need at this point - I still have my 2 1001RB-II heads so I'm set for amps, my L2500 is my main bass. All I need is a full range of cabs for the heads to do something really obscene. The RBH cabs are the beastiest 4x10 cabs I've ever heard, 4 of them would be b0n3krush1ng.
Oh, and a forklift to carry em around....
