Let's see your Bass Rig

[spiritbass]

This is now my most used amp and cab arrangement. The amp is my new (to me) Ashdown CTM-30 (copy of the Little Bastard LB-30, just dressed in black). The cabs are the ones Duke LeJeune outlined in his thread Low-cost DIY practice/coffeehouse tweeterless 110 [long]. They are Goldwood bass cabs with an Eminence S2010 bass guitar speaker, lined cab and port reduced four inches. I recently refinished them in DuraTex, after my cats got a hold of the rat fur and I stripped them down to bare (PITA!) and made the port reducing blocks, then molded them in.

While it's only 30 watts (all tube) it's just about all In use and covers all my current needs. I have a friend who has a studio, that I'm rebuilding one of his basses and he wants to record some stock tracks with it.

Duke knows how to get it done. He was instrumental in designing the crossover in the MAS Flex 110, one of my all-time favorite cabs.

Running a smaller version of my old rig from the bedroom corner at the moment.

Hi, new here.
Here is my beginner bass rig, I’ve only played bass for 3 weeks now.
Why such a massive rig?
Well it was cheap.
$10 for the broken Ashdown ABM EVO II amp (ridiculous price with a ridiculous fault inside), $250 for the T-bird and unfortunately as much as $300 for the EBS 4x10 4ohm cabinet which is more than I actually wanted to pay but whatever, the total is really low.

That's a pretty great start for beginners as far as I'm concerned!

What kind of cab is the Mesa sitting on? I've never seen it's like...

That's an RE Audio XXX 15" car audio subwoofer in a custom built birch plywood sealed cab.. It handles the ~20-70hz range..

Oh yeah I’m beyond satisfied with this setup. It’s a pretty serious rig as is and definitely serious for a beginner.

I have been playing for just under a year, and finally bit the bullet on a 15" cab to try out. It's replacing the SVT 410HLF on the left, and the HD500 was the first amp I got, but I'm keeping it for practice since it's far lighter than the new setup. I am so happy with this rig! I've tried various other (some even very expensive) 5 strings and just keep coming back to the Schecter CV5. I think I'm done for now until I find another killer deal on a second OBC115...

Just restacked the rig and the wife is already complaining that it looks like it’s going to fall over.

Na, love the menacing size.

I changed one thing in my rig and I am floored . I changed my Ampeg PF-800 to my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 for my weekly jam with my buds . The Genz just killed it with them , I could hear every note very clearly with great heft also . I love my PF-800 and consider it the next best thing to a real SVT and will never give it up till it dies but I like the Genz just as much now .
What an amp !

Left the Genz there and the Ampeg came home to wait it's turn .

My Henry the 8 X 8 cabinet grill came back from the powder coat shop this weekend. I had it done in a black that has a bronze thing going on in the right lighting. New set of (4) corners and (4) new nickel screws/washers for the grill. I think it ended up being $350 all in with the extra new 8" Celestian driver.

It sounds just smashing...!

Pretty heavy stack—one of my home practice rig’s (and I must say, q-u-i-t-e enjoyable )…

At the top of this page, I posted a picture of my Ashdown CTM-30 with the Duke LeJeune 110 cabs. I've since acquired an Ashdown RM-115T EVO II and RM-210T EVO II cabs. The 110s sounded awesome, but the RM cabs give me a warmer fuller sound and is notably louder. No problem with a smaller gig and modest drummer.

Rearrangement day #12.

Flipped the 210 on its side to bring it up to my ear.

So far, so good.

My full rig for gigging.FoH is fed from the Line6 Helix.

I don't bring an amp, but I'll happily use a backline amp if one's provided. Stage volume is always fun.

Click/swipe to pic #2 for the rig all packed up. Full gear rundown in the instagram post.
