Running stereo into an Ampeg 810. Nom.
Hello all!
Here are my gigging rigs - small: Ampeg BA210V2, medium: Ampeg V4B/SVT212AV cab, large: Heritage SVT-CL/home-made 2x15 cab.
Sometimes I mix and match the two heads/cabs.
My favorite axes are Fender P's and Ampeg Scroll basses.

Used this again last weekend. Wow! Just with 1 x 115. Amazing thick. ..ooomphy punch. I've been using my V4B or B-Amp with various cabs... and nothing. .NOTHING comes close the the solidity of this. ..even with just a single 115.
Even the (very good bassist) sound engineer stated that it was the best bass sound he's ever heard.
Gibson EB '13 model
into
Fender Super Bassman into 1 Fender Bassman Pro Neo 115.
After not using it for a few gigs/weeks. .. omg... it just blows me away. Of course, is double the volume with this set up
But, with just the one 115 cab. ..I can push the SB300 power tubes a bit harder and it REALLY shines. .. I think the 115 driver in the Bassman Pro Neo cab likes being pushed. ..coz IT sounds glorious the louder it goes too.
If every Club we played had good access as this particular place did - & I could simply wheel the cab with the amp on top in. ..my bass bag on my back and leads in it too..... so, even WITH a 300w all tube amp. ...it was a one trip load in/out.
Glorious all round. .... then I think I'd get rid of all my other amps and just use the Super Bassman. It's THAT good.

I just got the RPM. I'm still dialing it in, but the clean lows/gritty highs thing is working out so far. I just need to find the right balance. I don't know if I want to go full clean on the RPM- I think a touch of hair on there wouldn't hurt either.
I'll share more after our home remodel wraps up...haha!

Here's my main electric rig. On top is an Eden Road Runner 600 srereo amp (300w/side)
The orange cab is an Avatar with 2 x12" drivers and a horn, an the Trace Elliot on the bottom is a 1518 cab, with a single 15" Emenience driver.
Both cabs are 300 watts @ 4ohms. I usually run these in bi-amp mode. If I need less for smaller gigs, I run just the Avatar cab with an Ampeg PF350 head.
Oh yeah, the bass is a Carvin Brian Bromberg model with a drop D tuner.

Bugera Veyron M, Avatar B210 neos, and my new Kiesel Multiscale Vanquish. I love this set up. Punchy, clean, light and loud.
This weekends rig for a gig outdoor show at Pocono Speedway. Genzler MG800 + Fearless F112 + Glasstone Lil'G 212. 800 watts at 2.667 Ohms.
PF800 and 212 Deltalite cab .
Ok, i can't decide so you pick your fave (everyone is happy a 2 ohms except the Acoustic 126!).Left to right:
1.TC Electronic rh450/Yamaha BBT 500h
2-Phil Jones c-4 cabs
2. Behringer Bass v-amp & Crown XLS 2500 and 2 Hartke Hydrive 112's
3. Vintage Acoustic 270 & 126 combo
4. Peavey VB-2 tube head & Peavey 2x15 cab w/ black widders.

Actually the TC Electronic RH450 is happy at 2.67 ohms, not 2. If you've ran it before at 2, I would stop as you just might burn up that amp. That would be a shame.
Edit: Well actually the protection circuit should kick in, but still be careful running that amp at 2 ohms if you are.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I stand corrected! Never ran the RH 450 at 2 ohms. I figured with TC's mysterious 3 cab strategy that it was in the 2 ohm + ish category but have never needed to work it that hard. I just used a bigger amp! lol
