Tecamp S212, light loud and huge lows. It does well for most (99%) of my gigs. About 2 gigs a year (outdoors) I will bring two of them.
(And no, not everyone wants an SVT 810. In fact, I have been disappointed because I have had to use one a few times as a backline rig.)

One cab if I’m not sure of the situation—
GK 2-12 modified with a 6.5 mid—- no tweeter.

otherwise my go to is a Markbass 1-12 comb with a 1-12 Ext speaker in the truck — just in case I under estimated my needs.

Guessing that the majority of us are doing small to mid-sized rooms where a single cab will easily suffice. Outdoors, you may want more, so keep this to the sweet spot of the bread and butter gigs. What's your favorite cab, why - and yes, we all want an SVT 810.
Well, I have a Trace Elliot 1210 combo amp that has a 2 X 10 cab. Works for when I need to be heard.
I've played two shows this year and had backline for both, but to be sure I sound like I want to sound, I've been bringing my Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live and running the wet signal to FOH direct and the clean signal to the amp, which I've just been adjusting so that I can hear myself.
