Cheers.

This rig may be a tad unconventional for metal...but I love it.
Behringer V-pod(I hate it, but sounds decent.)
Ashdown Mk-500
Acme low B-4II

She sounds amazing.

Not sure if this metal on metal but we are a heavy band.

Close up of racks. Since this pic a Shure PGX14 is now in the top rack.

Not withstanding the pics, my main bass is

Heres my modest metal rig. I've had the preamp for 2 weeks now and love it. The setup is as follows:
Ampeg SVT-IIP--->SWR WorkingPro 400 Effects Loop Return----->Hartke VX410

I plan on getting a poweramp, selling the SWR and bying another Hartke speaker cabinet. Sorry about the poor quality pictures, we have a terrible camera

I'd rate the one above me at about... a 6. I think a part of the metal rig is it looking extremely monsterous, I think you should add about.... 8 more 4x10's, then it would be METAL!!

My SVT-4PRO

My SVT-610HLF

Ha, I do not need to haul 7 more 4x10's to be a monster. My cab sounds like a monster. and besides, most of the cabs that metal bands haul around are empty. Lamb of God's bass player has 10 mesa cabinets, only 2 have speakers in them.

\uu/

 

[heath_r_91]

so get 7 more 4x10's and take the speakers out of six of them!

just kidding, but I really would like to see that.

When they don't actually have a loaded speaker cabinet, do they put anything in the speaker holes or do they just leave them wide open?

I just think if they left them wide open even if they had a grill cloth it would be noticable.

 

[InQuebAss]

Haha, if acme made a 1x15 i would be ALL over that. Even a 2x12. but for anything but coliseum shows, the 4x10 is plenty loud.(and less for a lazy metal bassist to carry)

I'm not sure wether or not you can tell the difference, from far away, no. They use the...i guess the closest word would be tweed speaker mesh. Link Removed

It works though.

I'm suprised all the mesa users haven't swarmed in here yet with their rigs. We are talking about metal rigs, right?

 

[heath_r_91]

BUMP!!!!

He has 4. But yes, only 2 are loaded.

Yea i was expecting it to be swarmed with Mesa Rigs when i put it up.

 

[lobey]

I'll take pictures of my rig tomorrow when my band practices.

 

[Tomass]

Yer those 7 more 410s will come soon But in the mean time i love the Ampeg sound, such a good classic tone for metal. That GK Rig looks sick Geddylessharris.

 

[fr3drik]

Well, here's my "metal"-rig Not the biggest ever, but hey, it does make great sound. The built-in overdrive/dist on the amp is pretty cool.

Crate BT220H
EBS Neo 112

(ps: no, I don't use the Boss overdrive-pedal. Worst buy ever :scowl

 

[SixStrings]

Ashdown Mk-500

Yay for Ashdown! I love their tone, even for metal...

however, in response to those awaiting mesa rigs, I'm replacing the 410 with a mesa 210

 

[Plain Old Me]

No pics at the moment (I am using my laptop and my desktop is in need of a new hard drive...) but I use a Mesa 400+, Boss GT-6B, Bergie NV 610, and Bergie HT 210. Pretty metal if you ask me

 

[SuperSnake2012]

I have a pretty meh rig... Ashdown MAG 1x15 combo and an Ibanez 5 string. I need a better amp.

 

[Ayliffe]

cmon guys keep em coming.

 

[Dave W]

There isn't anybody to rate above me...so here is mine.

I play a Stingray or a Modulus through it...the sound is pure heaven!

I'll be adding a GK 2001RB to it very soon...like in a few days soon.
