I Love it. A Funky Behemoth Hodgepodge. Here's a portion my current FBH collection:
All are subject to monkeying-with, except the Sunn 200S rig, which is from 1968 and, amazingly and by all indications, remains 100% original, and still sounds wonderful as-is. All of these have a cool backstory, which adds to the fun. Folks I play with get a kick out of seeing what I'll show up with. It's all part of the show.
Here's a pic from a recent "shootout" of my two candidates for leaving at the rehearsal spot for a new side-project band. I actually really do like the sound of that particular (old Italian) CMD102P, but the 400RB with the E120-loaded Bandmaster cab (it's had some internal modifications
) has a tone I like much better in the mids and gets considerably louder. Needs more monkeying though, so the Markbass won the field-assignment for now.Some of us just have to make do.

New addition since my last post in this thread, a GK Neo412. I could not be happier with it.

Just posted this in another thread, so I might as well use it for double duty.
Ashdown 1x12, Seismic 4 x 6 extension cab, TC electronic BQ500 and BAM 200.
I liked the sound of the BAM so much I bought its big brother and sold off my Eden combo, so the BAM is a backup now. I tend to accumulate basses, but not amps. I rarely have more than one or two.

Mine is Orange and modular so I can choose cabs for the size of the gig. Also my back doesn't like lifting the heavy stuff any more.
Tecamp S212 Classic paired with a Baer ML112. Driven by a Traynor SB500h.
Killer rig.

This used to be my smallest restaurant rig a few years ago.
Something Old, Something New...
P Bass is constant, but has a new/old DiMarzio Split P

I used to look at these threads and be like “why would anyone have so many amps…especially big old heavy ones. I get having 1 modular rig for big/small and then practice combo but this is ridiculous”
welp…
Ampeg V-4B into an SVT-212AV. SVT-III (non pro) into another 212av. Hartke 3500 into a 4200 pro 4x10.
I guess I became ‘that guy’

Which cabs work best with Geddy's book?
Definitely the Darkglass!
Can’t tell what amp that is but that rig looks sneaky scary loud. How’s it compare to the V-4B half stack?
My practice rig that I use every week with my 2 guitarplayer friends and our great drummer . Tonight we did some Petty , a Tubes tune and one by Lucinda Williams .
The rig is a PF-800 , a 112 with a Dayton PA310-8 woofer and a PRV horn and driver , a 115 cabinet with a Faital Pro 15PR400 woofer and an Eminence 90 degree APT horn flare with a ASD1001 driver . The two cabinets sound pretty different but together they blend with a very nice low mid punch and very clear and deep . Didn't think they would sound this good together ' very lucky . With the Ampeg I get just the tone I want .

@RollCats...That little amp is a GR-ONE-350, Italian made. Loudest, little 350 watts, I've ever used.
The V4B-ri was a sweet sounding rig. I had a SVT212AV cab also. Sold it all a couple yrs ago and wish I hadn't now.
Ive only played thru the 2 new, MB58R cabs. 1 Energy-neo, 1 102P w/ceramics at home.
Just got the cabs 2 weeks ago. So haven't really cranked it up. And I will use my MB Ninja IV 1000w head w them.
I'm using the two different 210 cabs w/a Blackline NY151 w/GR-350 amp for a couple weeks before I plug the 1000w head into just the two, MB58R cabs.
I love the very lightweight of the new MB58R line cabs.
We'll see how they hold up to giggin w my active/passive 5ers I gig. Peace yal, e.
