Let's see your Bass Rig

Haha, good timing and good eyes
So I basically just keep it at our jamspace for extra storage and just because I've never seen another one like it before. It originally was sold from Ampeg as the "Vault" and came with an actual fridge inside. I was told it, along with it's identical twin, were used to promote the brand at a music shop near here. But I scored it through a trade on the local classifieds for a Micro-VR head that wasn't getting much use. I was expecting someone's hackjob cabinet-furniture conversion but when the fella arrived with it I was surprised to see an official barcode sticker on it, straight from Ampeg. My only beef (besides the fridge is missing so my beers are always warm) is that it is about twice as deep as a normal 810, so about 2-2.5 ft from grill to the back. If it's not pushed up against a wall in a corner it's a dead giveaway that it's not a real cab. And unfortunately it's an open back so I won't be installing speakers in it anytime soon, that would be a fun project though.
Let's see a pic of that Ampeg rig! I'm a huge fan of the av grills, and I heard the 210's are about the closest you can get to the 810 tone without the medical bills. I have yet to hear one in person though.
Not sure if I've posted this in this thread yet, but... Ampeg SVT 5-Pro with an Ashdown 4x10!
I'll always appreciate an opportunity to show off my motorcycle ready monster.
I have settled into this rig for a while now, about a year.
Warwick LWA-1000 with an Alembic SF-2, Keeley Bassist, and fDeck HPF in the effects loop.
Epifani UL-112 and a custom tuned Fearful 12" Sub with an Eminence 3012. Far more loudness and whompf on tap than I will ever use. I love headroom.
Yeah, you read that right, my custom sub is a "Reznor Turbo".

Not as nice as some of the rigs I've seen here but here's mine...
Hey Gremson, take that sweet pic of yours over to the Combo Club and become a member. We're 19 short of 100 and would love to have you become a part of our group. There's a ton of Rumblers over there so you should feel right at home. Check us out!
Built a new cab a few months back, and then decided I was fed up with the weight of my admittedly nice sounding old solid state BX Fender, so went the class D route yesterday. Mildly irritated that I set the fittings on the cab out so it would sit landscape with the big rack mount Fender on top, but now I think I would prefer it vertical with the little box. Its a completely symmetrical 1*15 with 4 radially spaced ports, so it makes very little difference
Modular Phil Jones Bass rig for low volume to medium-low volume. Now i need a gig. I haven't had it out of the house. That's a '60's Ampeg SB-12 Portaflex next to it.

Standing in front of these must be like playing bass in a wind tunnel.

Here’s my current setup. Pedals into an Ampeg V4BH and an SVT-410HLF cab.
Trace Elliot RAH600SMX > 2103x & 1153.
Love the Kubicki!
I would want a different color but still AWESOME!!! 
Best wishes,
Brent
I feel fortunate. I got that bass and sent it to Phil for a refurbisment in the last year of his life.Love the Kubicki!
Best wishes,
Brent
You are in the minority though; that bass gets compliments, specifically on the color, every time it goes out.
I was so happy to find it, I gladly overlooked what I first thought to be, not my favorite color. It grew on me in rapid fashion, now I love it.
Current setup. V4B reissue into a 112 cab. The cab is new , and only been out to one gig at a dive bar , but so far so good
“Bahama Green”. When I play it I get the urge to smoke a joint and go body surfing.
Oh I’m familiar with its name. Very nice. I’d love to have one. Also that orange color coral it’s called. Care to share the headstock number?
This is the latest picture. A couple things have changed. Have a G&L SB-1 instead of the Blacktop now. I still have my 810, but have been using my 2x 2x10 Acme Low Bs a lot and I finished restoring an old Traynor 2x15 that I'm also using from time to time.
