+1 on the DBX 160A. The power conditioner is a good idea as well, but if you have a Monster Power floor unit in the mix already your're probably good to go.

This is the answer. With most modern gear, there is no need for additional fans or ventilation.
I had an old head that was overheating and I installed one of these and it works great and goes great with a pitchblack tuner
leave it open or add a ventilated rack plate. Anything else will just add weight that you'll come to regret!

Good idea. I really like the old original 166s for bass. They have a slightly dirty "crunch" to them when you hit them hard, and also a high-end attenuation to them as they squish, which can be beneficial for bass. Also, having two channels means two presets with the push of one button. Patch channel two and use it for "normal" play, push the "Stereo Couple" button for a more aggressive compression preset on channel one.
The other good thing is you can buy them really cheap these days:

Yeah, you definitely need to add a MST-412-A .... 4-channel, 3-way passive XLR Splitter. Don't leave home without it!

Well if we're doing that, I have a 24-port power-over-ethernet switch I'd like to get rid of. Does your band use VOIP phones on stage?

That was my HT322. As much as a l loved it, it was too heavy and went to a new owner. All I have now are Berg cabs - AE410, CN212 and CN210. I've owned most of his neo cabs, but this batch fills pretty much all my needs.
One, no....but 4.....possibly.....but no more ridiculous than what lurks in the man cave of many a bass lover........including me
LOL. It was in my younger days when I could lift all that stuff. It started getting old when I had to ask my wife to help me load the SUV. Now my heaviest amp is 29 pounds, but most are under 4 pounds, and even my 410 is only 62 pounds (although I've been contemplating selling it to get the 49-pound CN410).One, no....but 4.....possibly.....but no more ridiculous than what lurks in the man cave of many a bass lover........including me
I love the light stuff and don't own any 1 piece that reaches 60 lbs, but there are a couple of non-micro pieces of gear I love, even if they sit home or at the jam space and aren't moved much. On the rare occasion when I have to move stuff these days it's 1 or 2 35 lb GB NX2 112 cabs and a micro.
