Let's see your Bass Rig

Current and probably favorite rig of the many I have owned:

Thank you for the kind words. The sickest thing of all is how much is in my closet. 1974 Bassman 100, 1966 Bassman, 1966 Bandmaster, pair of SWR 410's and 3 Sunn 200S bins and more.
The plane is a B25 Mitchell built by North American. Thank God my father survived 4 Crashes in that type of machine after 100 plus combat sorties in Burma. He was my amp Tech. I sold a few of the Acoustic 370 rigs and my Mesa Boogie Buster. My amp Tech-Dad in pix of B25. Cool plane.View attachment 2769297 View attachment 2769298

Very cool Lowendtech. Strangely my father arrived in England in late December 1941. Was assigned as a "guest" airman aboard the Wellington bomber and Whitley bomber for missions with the RAF in 1942-1943 then went to Burma. He is an American who served in the RAF as well as the USAF. The Lancaster was a lot better than the wood and canvas Wellington for sure. Sounds like your Father was a great chap.

Deepened Peavey 1/15 cab with JBL e120 15inch driver. Powered by Heathkit 2x6L6 tube amp with tube rectifier. Original Mullard preamp tubes from the 1950's built by my brother in laws dad. Wonderful tone tight control, and strange cab because it projects and has big power and focus 10-15 feet away.

That little acoustic combo belonged to a guitarist friend we shared the room with and he moved it on. I can't tell you the exact model number but I had a go one day with my Guild starfire bass and it sounded lovely. It had reverb and a single JBL 15" speaker. All original with soft cover. That JBL looked like this: Vintage Jbl D140-f 15 8 Ohm Guitar / Bass Speaker D140
It's not a big deal and it may not matter at all at this point but those combo amps were all designed for four ohms speaker loads. You obviously have louder gear, when needed.
