#179
I've been performing in public since I was about 9 years old, so it goes way back...

Going back to the deep recesses of my mind, in *semi* chronological order:

Kustom 4ch PA w/ 2 410 column speakers (my dad's PA) - ('87-'90)
Fender Sidekick (30W/10") - (90-92)
Peavey TNT100 - (92-95)
Crate BX80 - (93-96)
Ampeg SVTIII w/ SRV215 cab (95-97)
Ampeg SVTIII w/ SWR Goliath Jr II (97-99)
Ampeg SVTIII w/ Deitz 215 (99)
SWR Studio 220 w/ Peavey 210 (99-01)
Kern IP777 w/SWR St800 w/Peavey 210 (99)
SWR Studio 220 w/ Genz Benz 12" (don't recall the model) (00-01)
SWR Studio 220 w/ Eden D210XLT (00-02)
SWR Bass 350 w/ Eden D210XLT (01-07)
SWR Bass 350 w/ Bag End D15 (01-03)
Aguilar AG500SC-112 combo (07-08)
Aguilar AG500SC-112 w/Aggie GS 112 ('08)
Epifani UL502 w/ Epi UL112 (08-present)
Epifani UL502 w/ 2x UL112 (08-present)
Epifani UL502 w/ Euphonic Audio Wizzy 10 (08-09)
Markbass CMD121P ('09)
GK Backline 110 (09-present)
SWR Bass 350 w/ Epi UL112 (09-present)
SWR Bass 350 w/ Cerwin-Vega V122 PA cab (excellent! - '11)
Epifani UL502 w/ Bergantino HS410 ('11)

That's probably about it. I'm a bit anal about trying different combinations of the gear I have and keeping track of it. Some combinations I may try once and not again (and I tend to remember those), some I only try in rehearsal and they never make it to a gig (and thus aren't listed). Some are used regularly over any given period of time.
 
#180
H&H VS 100 with matching 2x15 (sold this and got married, didnt play at all for 9 yrs)
Musicman HD 130 head & 212 RH ( biggest regret selling this)

Ampeg SVT 3 Pro, SVT-410HE,SVT-15EN (gone)
