if you could start over...

I'd trade my Ampeg SVT 410HLF for a Berg NV610. I'm pretty happy with my GK 1001RB-II, I'd trade it out for an Orange ADB200 or an Aggie DB750, then if I wasn't happy I could just sell it at a fair price and still be able to buy another GK.
 
I'm selling my Mesa-Boogie 1x15, and Avatar B410 Delta b/c I'm not doing the band thing now.........my amp (Yorkville Bassmaster 800) has already been sold.
Later on, when I start gigging again, I'm ganna buy an Ashdown Mark King head, an Eden 4x10 XLT, and a SWR 4x12 to use as my rig.
Both cabs for big rooms/outdoor shows, and only the SWR for smaller rooms.
 
I'd keep my Roland Cube 100 for practice and rehearsals, and maybe dump all my other stuff for a light, high powered 2x10 combo for gigs. I absolutely love my G-K 700RB-II/Neo112 rig, but combos can't be beat for those hasty load-ins. I'd check Markbass, Roland, Genz-Benz, etc.
 
I think I'll stick with what I have until Ampeg decides to offer a new all tube head that puts out anywhere from 150-200w and doesn't weigh more than 40 pounds.

I'd ditch my Mesa 4x10 and go back to two Eden D410XLTs.

Over all the years, all the gear swapping, all the basses and amps, and money lost (and occasionally gained), I wish I'd had the foresight to hold onto those two cabs when I had them.
