- Lakland 55-01 sunburst, maple board (soon to be upgraded to U.S. preamp) & Fender MIJ Jazz Fretless
- SWR SM-500
- DBX 166XL comp/limiter/gate (in effects loop of SWR)
- Epifani T-212 cabinet
But I'm about to change things up & it should look something like this:
- ART SP 4X4 power conditioner
- same compressor/limiter/gate
- Demeter HBP-1 preamp
- Crown CE 1000 power amp
- same cabinet
I have a hartke systems 7000 amp running into the 1800 pro series cab with the 18" speaker and the 4x10 running with it it is loud powerful and sounds so good
Well, ok, my vote doesn't really count since I also use a Marshall Bassstate 150 at school, which is property of the school. :/
But at home I use my crappy Peavey Microbass.
I've kept just about every rig I ever bought so I have alot of stuff still sitting around. The oldest rig I have is a Sunn 200s Head with a Sunn Sorato 2x15 cab. I also have a PV mark IV head. a PV 210TX I use for Practice. Hartke 4.5 XL and 1x15XL cabs. I've used the 4.5 exclusively for the past 6 years and I think it is a great cab. I just bought a SWR triad that I'm gonna start using this weekend. I got a bunch of EQ's and Pre-amps and power amps sitting around. I hook some of it up and play it for a while. Right now I'm using a Line6 Pod Pro/Alembic F-1X pre-amp and ART EQ and a QSC USA 850 with the SWR triad CAB. I'll probably swap out the QSC for the Carvin DPC 1000 because the Carvin is a 2 rack space.
Tech 21 PSA-1 into an ART Levellar, Boss VF-1 multi effects running through the effects loop of the Tech 21 and into a Soundtech PS802 driving a pair of SWR Triad cabs.
This handles almost everything I can throw at it. If I were to upgrade any part of my rig it'd be the following, in order:
new speakers for the Triads. The tweeter, 10" & 15" combination is nice,but better speakers would help a lot.
haw,haw!
my other is none.i have a bass,a cord,and some extra string.
two i'm considering are the eden wt-550,and the ampeg svt-cl. whatever i get first will be followed by something different 'cause i want to ric-o-sound 'em anyway.
My punk band was sick of my 410 sounding so punchy so I sold the whole shebang...an SWR 400 watt head and a matching 410 for a Carvin FET 400 watt power amp, a Sonic Maximizer, my old Digitech RP200, which I used to use for guitar...but works AMAZING on bass with cleaner settings and effects...and then a big 215 cab. It's so LOOOOOOOOW. I never looked back. It's lighter, taller, and most importantly, it sounds better.
Currently I have a Furman power conditioner, a Korg rack tuner, and a Mesa m-pulse 360 into an Ampeg B4/10HLF. Just put it together in the last ten days and I love it. Will se how it is in a live gig tonight.
