Janky-A Rigs of Doom

So when you take every cab I didn't have a use for and connect them all to a power amp, this is what you get.
It's brilliant. Two reasons: (1) luck and (2) biamping. The waaaaaa comes out the two on the bottom and the clank comes out the big one on top. That is an 85-lb. guitar cab. Again, brilliant.
I was just trying to crush all the guitars in my band but when I added that 210 last night the sound changed qualitatively. Not just louder. I called it "authoritah" at the time, but it is doom. Doom.
DOOOOM !!!

I think the top one is a PA cabinet, but it probably has guitar oriented speakers in it...

Meets the minimum jank standard, I think, but doesn't surpass a jank factor of more than 5.5. Looks cohesive enough that the casual observer totally overlooks the inherent jank because the sound is probably rad.
Oooh ... No more calls, please; we have a winner ...
The Kitchen Jank! TM
Even better! Thanks, dude. I've had a hell of a time identifying that beast...

Hmm, not exactly all budget stuff, but plenty of jank here, IMO.
Forgot my cardboard cable...
And then that night when I thought to chain everything together and blow up my eardrums.
I propose that, from now on, whenever a picture of someone playing a bass is needed, anywhere, we use this one.

I second that
Real men with chest hair and rhyno balls play with the open guts of cheap combos!
Yo is that a squire mb-5?
Well I'm flattered, but I've seen better bassface 
Now, how do I get that pic as a replacement emoticon to the current one? --> 
Long live the jank.

Uhh jank spam of newly acquired jank (J.A.S.???) 
Two notes of jank:
1) Non-stock speakers in there. And the mounting ring is so think the grill doesn't go down all the way at the bottom. Janktastic.
2) Cell phone pic: the only internationally jank-approved way to share jank.

Vintage Jank:
'67 B-12XTC head, including attached tray, sitting on a CL score '69 Kustom cab that lost it's tuck 'n' roll running the same CTS 15" that B-15 of the later '60's came with. At full OD with the 6550's it probably tops out at 50-60 watts RMS. It clips very gracefully after a long period of what seems to be clean compression. With 7027A it's like a B-15 with some extra balls and really has a similar but all it's own gnarly OD. It's probably the cleanest feeling guitar/bass amp I've played next to my 300 Pro. It sounds absolutely wonderful with an upright, especially in the nuance and dynamics. It has just enough juice to work with an efficient cabinet. The B-18X used the same exact head.

You need an avatar.
No pic yet but my main rig in my noisy indie rock band is a no-name 4x10 with a Bugera 550 watt head true cheap ass thunder. I run a bunch of effects thru it and crankit. Pure fuzzed out wall of bassdom
