I love my Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 so I would buy that and a couple 1x12 cabs. Don't care about brand on my cabs, they never last more than a few years anyway!

^^ All in favor, say "aye".
"AYE".. opposed.........
I'll do it. You just have to promise to say some thing in it..

Finally got it all together: Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 and 2x GK 112 Neo2 cabs. Totally weight? Maybe 65 lbs. One cab in each hand and the Shuttle over my shoulder. Loud enough to compete with drums and a Marshall full stack, but light and compact enough to easily load into my Mazda 3.
The brackets I built really work well for keeping the head on the cab. And, it removed by just unscrewing the knurled knobs.
Excellent idea with the Bracket....

The blue bass (as well as the sea foam green one) is one of my Astro models. It is built with early Dano/Jerry Jones construction methods and the body is influenced by my love of Thunderbirds.
The standard Astro comes with lipstick tube pickups, but being a P-bass guy, I assembled a split reverse P style pickup & installed it in a P-90 cover. I tried a couple of other pickups in this bass first, but this pickup gives me that old school P-bass thump... Thanks.
These basses come with either a 29 7/8" scale vintage Dano influenced neck or a more modern shaped 31" scale neck (which is the one on the blue bass).

I started with huge amps in the '70s, moderately large ones in the '80s, smaller yet in the '90s. Now my usual gig for jazz clubs/lite jobbing gigs is: GK MB200 driving an Eminence BassLite CA2010 in a WinISD designed/home built box. The amp is 2+ lbs, the speaker around 19 lbs. Works well with fretted, fretless, and upright. Shown next to an early '90s era Carvin LB76. With upright, gig bag and speaker I'm in and out in one trip!
