The story is a long one. Could be more than you'd ever want to know right here:

Just finished reading - Great story and a nice bass and set up in your pic.

My bass story is not even close but bought her in 71 and still have her. Took the strap locks off and have to get the originals out of the case.

I'm a little heavy on rig right now.

 

[LennyJ]

This is an old pic of a rig I used to have.

I sold it and maybe should have kept it. It was too big and kinda heavy to carry around in my small KIA.

This fits much better in my car.

And is smaller, lighter, and louder, no doubt.

Additions and modifications:

Since my last post in this thread where I added that purple 4x12, I've added this MarkBass 8x10, 1200 watts, sealed, ~90lbs. I also modified it from tilt-and-roll to casters on each corner.

Now I've added a Peavey Headliner 1000, Class D, 10-lbs.

I put it in a rack along with an old DTR2000 tuner I pilfered from a rack rig I retired (due to weight), since this head doesn't have an on-board tuner like my others.

I put the Furman from that retired rack rig into the empty space with the Line-6 HD750, which is also convenient because that head's on/off switch is in the back.

Being in Ohio, I won't have any outdoor gigs for these cabs for quite a while, but hell, I enjoy just looking at them.

I posted my former 'big rig' here: it has been donated to a church where it can sit permanent and not be schlepped around (at 140lb - I'm in my 70's and done).
This little SWR Spellbinder Blue combo won't power a 2nd cab, so my new 'big rig' adds a Wayne Jones 2X10 Powered Cab from a fellow TBer.
At half the weight, half the size (a one-handed schlep with the tiltback casters), and twice the power (1160W total!) of my former 'big rig' for decades; I am very happy with it.
Blending a SansampBDDIv2 with the tube preamp of the Spellbinder Blue (w/aural enhancer, parametric EQ, and compressor) sounds great!

Nice Silhouette!

Last rig I will ever need. Ashdown CTM200r with a pair of Bag End D12-B. Although I do think I will grab an S12-B so I have the choice between 1, 2, or 4 speakers depending on the situation.

Present:

GK Plex + MBP112 200w powered cab + Rob Allen MB2. Not pictured: MBP 212 500w powered cab.

Former:

GK RB800 + Ampeg 115 + 4003fl.

Nice! You've taken very good care of it.

How is that Quilter? have been seeing them a lot but never played through one. I was wondering how it would do with my Barefaced. I will be in the market for a new amp in the next few months so I will be checking into them.

I had one , They are great .. very transparent, my basses sounded spectacular. I bet it would be awesome with a Barefaced .
