Does your upper lip smell good or bad:D

Just kidding Andy!!! Thats some good (what I call) buttface right there. We need a good "show your buttface" thread, that'd be entertaining..

I'd really like to hear that rig actually. Smiths are very hit or miss for me. I usually like the lows and low mids but as you move higher up the neck, the highs and high mids sound wierd to me. I bet the bergs with the markbass sounds great!
 
Here is my new mini-rig of doom.

Yamaha BBT500H (500 watts @ 2 ohms)
Yamaha BBT210S (4 ohms each)

This rig can get pretty loud and it has a lot of punch and clarity with a surprising amount of booty.:D
 
Really nice , how do you like the digital processing in the BBT500H ?
Do you think it coulours the sound a lot ?
They seem like really nice amps ...

Just kidding! Nice rig! I was thinking I should have gotten the 2x10's instead of the 1x10's but I dig it! How does that rig project? Is it loud?

Actually, from what I've read here, the 110s are a whole different animal than the 210s. If I'm not mistaken, and I may be, the speakers in the 110 are different than the 210.
 
The 110 cabs have different speakers. If I am correct in my thinking that each cabinet design should have different types of speakers. I wanted the 110's first but they sold out so I had to decide between the 210 and 410 cabs. What turned me off from the 410 is it only took 250 watts at 4 ohms and two 210 cabs would give me the full 500 watts from the head. I am really impressed with the rig. It can get loud but in a big venue you really have to push the head. Most medium to small gigs should be handled like a champ by this rig.

When I saw your rig DW I thought to myself what a light and loud mini-rig. You and Tombowlus are what made me decide on getting this rig.

Jake, don't forget that mine is a bolt on with the older 2 band pre. This bass sounds incredible. It sounds as big as any bass I've heard. It's similar to an old Roscoe I used to have with a Demeter preamp but clearer and with bite, midrange complexity and it has my preferred 34" scale. My only gripe is the short upper horn. I can't stand with the stupid thing.....amazing sound though.
 
Here's the mini rig of doom that's been rockin' my world lately...

Eden WT-405 and a pair of those Yamaha BBT110S cabs...

620W, and mind blowing depth for a pair of micro 10's...

I tried one of the Yamaha BBT500 heads, but just really didn't like it much. However, I've always been a big fan of Eden stuff, especially the Time Traveler stuff (ironically, since it's not their mainstream)...

I also have the Eden WTX-260 and it does amazing things with one of these cabs. Can't run both with that head, it won't do 2 ohms, but man, for a micro-110 rig, it's surprising.

They are. Custom made for Yamaha for this specific cab. The drivers that are in these, are basically a Delta12LF motor, with a ten inch cone. They handle power real well. I wish Eminence would make an 8 ohm version of this driver!
 
My mini rig....MXR di+, Markbass LMKII, Berg 112's. I use just one of the 12's for most gigs. I LOVE using both though.

I need to get me a little mark II, what an ideal college amp...

Andy, that smith is a bolt on? I dont think i have seen a b/o smith with position markers on the fretboard before... verynice.
