Let's see your Bass Rig

[Wicked G]

For smaller gigs I use a 115XL and an Ampeg pf500. Works well for me.

I used to have a Hartke 115XL and 210XL and really liked the 115 much better than the 210. Actually I liked the 115 a lot. It would put out some serious bass.

For a while I gave some serious thought to getting a second one to mate with the MB500, but then I got a GK NEO 410 and that was the end of that.

Still wouldn't mind it though as it is a good sounding cab that isn't really heavy at all.

15's yeah

View attachment 1132105 View attachment 1132099 View attachment 1132095 Don't laugh. It sounds surprisingly good, deep and punchy with the TE eq flat with no audible hiss or hum. I've had a Peavey 200H head and 2/15 cab, and an Ampeg 8/10 fridge... thinking the Kustom is from around '68-71. Replaced the speakers about 20 years ago

I had a Kustom 200 back in the day. Should have never sold it.

Finally got my "new to me" Greenboy Dually.

My Kustom 215 now sporting 2 eminence kappas. I've had it since 1985.View attachment 1158078 An Ampeg SVP pro into a Crown xls 1002 on top.

Love those old Kustom cabs

.......here's a track using my little Crate/Peavey rig. Miked this cab with an SM 57 on the speaker and an AKG 220 to catch the room. Done at my Studio
I dig this song man

 

[spiritbass]

interesting

This is in all likelihood my last rig and the ultimate for me. I have never sounded better. The only limitation is how good my chops are at the moment. Mike Arnopol (Mike Arnopol Soundworks), who makes the pictured cabs, keeps on tweaking his designs and making different models but I feel no need or desire to change...

Another fan of two 15"s... (my music room/practice space)

 

[Barbaric.Eric]

Oh yeah, SVT with 2x8x10 cabs. BASS

It's actually just one 810e, the other is a cabinet meant to hold an actual fridge (see the hidden handle? ). But it was empty when I bought it so now I just use it for storage at my jamspace.

We actually used it for a few funny shots in our latest DIY, no budget, music video. Check it out at 2:35:

 

[Jackcrow]

Only weighs 210lbs combined.

Edit: not including the nesquik*

Oh man. 2 Goliath II's?drool

Oh man. 2 Goliath II's?drool

Yeah...
I bought one on CL in 2008 for $75 with all blown speakers.
Then bought the other from GC for like $200 in 2010 or something. I replaced all 8 speakers with Eminence.

Unfortunately, I left them in NYC and will probably never see them again...

How is the Stew 2.1 sounding

It is a beast. I never have the attenuators above 10:00, and it drives the Bag Ends easily in a largish bar-type setting and outdoors. I have received compliments from other bass players on classic rock or blues gigs. The fans are not bothersome, and it has ever shut down on me. I keep the 1.2 around for backup, and it gets used to drive monitors from time to time! Very happy with it, and if I had to replace it, I would look at Mesa, B-Amp, maybe Crown, Peavey or QSC.

Here's my rig (from a pic taken last year)

Substitute the Tech21 RBI with a new Ampeg SCR-DI pedal (seen on the mockup of my soon-to-be pedal board, courtesy of Ikea Hackers Club)...

EDIT; Was asked by a poster here to name what these bloody things do. So here we go!

Top Row-
Ampeg SCR-DI, Guitar PCB Bass/Guitar Driver (DIY), General Guitar Gadgets MXR Phase 45 clone (KIT), SSM2166 VCA compressor (DIY), Optical comp/limit based on DOD280 (DIY)

Bottom Row-
Black Box Delay based on PT-2399 delay processor (DIY), Earthtone Big Muff Pi (my guitarist built that one for me), Boss OC-2 Octave (Japan), 'Lil Birdie EQ (EMG EXB with an input buffer), Green A/B loop switcher for the compressors (DIY), Morley Optical Volume.

Tech 21 RBI (now broken and sitting in a moving box somewhere)
SWR ST-800 power amp (bridged, 800Watts @ 4 ohms)
2015 Ampeg SVT810E (since this pic was taken, I've removed the White piping around the grill, and the "Classic" badge on the bottom. Otherwise stock)

As you can see, a LOT of the pedals are DIY/KITS. I LOVE building stuff...

Still gotta get better pics of the bass though.

Stay Tuned!

My ultra-light rig. Head is being replaced with the 500w. version when it comes in.

How do you like the Ego? Been considering the mini for space saving, or doesn't the new version of the regular Ego have top hacks?
Regardless, how do you like it? Pretty simple to set?

 

[Paulabass]

I haven't tried the Ego mini. I've heard the the attack, and ratio are fixed. The full size Ego is the best pedal comp I've tried. I used to always use dbx rack units. Great unit.

Edit- when I was auditioning mini rigs I thought I would just have to live with smaller sound. I was used to 4x10's moving air. The Ego made all the difference. Made the little cab sound huge.
