Let's see your Rig Rundown setup!

Ampeg SVT-7 (with custom head enclosure I made to match the cabs)
Two Avatar B210 cabs w/ Faitals. (Stacked vertically, of course)

Love everything about this rig, it gets me through pretty much any situation.
How does your stacked 2x10 array compare to the typical 4x10? I have always felt columns were the way to go, and even dreamed up a way to convert easily from a 4x10 to 2 2x10 in a column set up. Just never got the bux to buy the materials and make it happen. Let me know at your convenience.

I find most rigs don't do the B string justice. The rack has an Ashly BP41 and a Peavey IPR3000DSP in a biamp configuration. The SWR Goliath Jr replaced a MarkBass 2x10 and the Bag End S18 definitely delivers the low end grunt. The power amp will soon be replaced with a LabGruppen IPD2400

20140824_233116.jpg In the 70's it was the Kustom, In the 80's it was the Acoustic. The Eden came along around 1999. I bought the Fender years ago but it never worked well live. The Line 6 came as a package deal around 2009 iot's ok, but really shines in the set up shown in the thumbnail. Awesome sound. Now we are downsizing so I need to start selling things ...

My main rig is an Alembic F-2B Stereo preamp going into an Alembic SF-2 Superfilter going into a QSC GX7 feeding an AccuGroove El Whappo & or AccuGroove Wedgie. The Alembic DS-5R is a power module for my Series II Europa. It powers the electronics & side LED markers.

For small gigs I have a Fender Rumble 350 which I also use my Alembic SF-2 Superfilter with, & for practice I use an Ampeg BA 112

My Basses are a custom Alembic Series II Europa 5 string, Alembic Stanley Clarke Signature Deluxe 4 string, 1979 Rickenbacker 4001, 1985 Fender '63 Reissue Mary Kaye Jazz Bass, Schecter Stilletto Studio 5, Dean Acoustic, & a fretless 4 string I built in woodshop in high school.

Having the stacked 210s is (to me) such a world of difference with a typical 410. I definitely have to thank TB for sending me in that direction. Having the speakers up higher, you can hear yourself so much better. I used to use a 410, and it wasn’t bad..just not as advantageous (imo). Other pluses include taking up a smaller footprint on stage, much easier for me to schlep around, and as vain as it may sound..looks pretty darn cool haha.
 
There's a lot of musicians out their that have some unique Amplifire setups. Leave pictures and a description of your setup in the posts below. Show the TB community how you get your tone and rock the bass.

My word, that blue is beautiful! :) I've only had the opportunity to try an Alembic once. That was back in the late 80's. I don't even remember what model it was. It was used and I was just surprised to see it hanging in the music store!
Very impressive collection as well!
Beautiful man! enjoy it!
Best wishes,
Brent

LOVE the blue roll-n-tuck Kustom!

I had a silver sparkle one back in my teens, and I still miss it, man the gear I let slip away...
