I recently did a post of what is your favorite go to bass. In making this post. A lot of people showed off their axe and I saw some basses I’ve never seen before that were really good cool.

I’d like to see what bass amps people use and the different speaker combinations. So if you’re up to it show some photos.
My Ampeg 50th Anniversary amp and matching 810, rock and roll heaven!

Here's some amp and cab stuff, I have had over the years, as a side note, my current go to combination is the Subway 800+, with the Berg HS410, if space is limited, I'll use the subway 800+ and one or two of the Aguilar DB112 cabs, what I fear the most with the Mesa & DB112's is cooking those speakers, as the Mesa, is an 800 watt amp, and the DB's are rated for 600 watts, but they do sound good, I currently use the Fender Rumble 500 head as a back-up amp, it's so much easier to use the small, but powerful heads now a days, so I really don't haul the lead sleds around much any more, I've kept a few of them, as I'm a somewhat of a collector, but have sold some as well, I currently have stashed the Fender 800 Pro, a couple of Traynors YBA-3's, a ThunderFunk 500, A Fender Super Bassman, and and Ampeg V4, all the others stuff not mentioned, has been sold/traded, also it took a long time to find these amps & cabs, and they were done/aquired through "deals", and being at the right place, at the right time, with cash in hand, all in the quest for tone, enjoy the bass porn

I like options :) Actually, it's been more about changing needs over the years in terms of volume, stage real-estate and my back, but not wanting to sell anything (my needs change regularly). I just acquired a second 12-inch cab, so the middle rig with the Traynor SB500 head has been annoited as my "main rig "
