The picture is crappy but it's a Sans Amp RBI preamp,Crown CE 1000 power amp,Eden 210XLT,2 Avatar CB112's.Both my basses are 5 strings and I need cabs that can do the low B.The Eden goes a little deeper than the Avatar 112s but the Avatars do a great job with the B string.At practice I use one CB112 up against two guitars with a 410 and 112 Fender and a harp player with a 112 Fender blues Junior amp.I rarely use this whole stack.

Carvin B1500, BRX10, and BRX12.
I just got the cabs yesterday! I've had the head for a week or so. (It came before the cabs were ready to ship. This stuff is brand new, just started shipping.)

My old system - Carvin Pro Bass II, V410T, V115 - is now my "practice rig," or sometimes my guitar amp.

I like Rickenbackerman and Nysbob, (I assume that's not a haircut).

It's a Rick, a blue box and phase 90, into an A/B box, into A) early 70's SVT and 810 and B) SVT II and 2 410's.

On 10.
Not a haircut, but simply a name inversion... I love my SVT, but keep it on the clean side. (maybe that's why I've got 20+ years out of it with routine maintenance) !

I use an Ampeg B2R I got about a month ago. Iwill eventually add an SVP Pro preamp, great for adding balls to the sound. Currently I run a Hartke 410MX under it. It doesn't fit my tastes that well but it's what I have. I just got an Avatar B115 to go under it all and what a difference! Great low end extension. I want to get rid of the Hartke and get either a 210 or a 212. Not sure yet.
 
I own a Fender BXR, but don't like it. The half-parametric EQ does not give enough options, and the mid sweep range (Q) is way too narrow. If it had a parametric EQ it would probably be OK, but i definately need a new amp...Or an EQ pedal.
