My main rig - what's yours

Sadowsky MV4 is my main bass.
Rig is an Aguilar AG500sc through 2 x Bergantino HT112 cabs

This has been my set up rig wise for almost 10 years now. Works for almost anything I get asked to do.
The MV4 is almost 2 years old and is just the most versatile bass I've ever owned.

Pretty happy with this set up - just need more gigs :hmm:
 
I always have my Lakland 55-02. Goes to every show. Usually I have either my Spector NS2-A or my parts P bass, I have others to choose from - depends on my mood. 95 percent of the time I have my Streamliner 900 and my NeoX 212T cab with my Paradriver as a backup. Sometimes I bring my GK 700RBII or my MESA RR115 cab. Again it depends on my mood.
 
Ibanez SRX550 > Sansamp BDDI > SWR 750X (with ART 351 EQ) > SWR Goliath Sr.

If no serious PA (hasn't happened in 3+ years now), then I can run my QSC PLX1804 into SVT210AVs I have, or a fEarful if I end up building one.

MIA 60th Anniversary P,
Heavily modified Dillion 5204,
Squier P-bass Special,
BC Rich NJ Series Warlock.

Acoustic B200 combo amp (if needed). Normally I run a DI using Positive Grid's Jamup Pro XT running on my iPhone 5S.

Jamup gives me an extensive collection of amps and effects. My main amp model is the Acoustic 360 lately, with compression provided by the LA-2A comp/limiter.

I use an Apogee Jam as my interface to the iPhone, and out of the iPhone my signal goes to a DI box at my feet. The iPhone is mounted on my mic stand, so my sound can be tweaked on the fly as needed.
