Yes, because the SVT-4 is that overrated in its wattage... you need to be able to play 3 or 4 of them at once to hear yourself.
Haha, I know, I have had a SVT-4PRO before and was extremely disappointed with it.

when viewed after your pictures, that is the single best statement on this forum.
LOL This thread is called "Rigs of Doom" not "Rigs of Mediocrity"! Surely it's all about being extreme? Nothing to do with practicality. Otherwise it would be called "Rigs".
The bigger the rig, the less practical.
I found these graphs in a book by NASA which explain it all perfectly.
It's also a well known fact that a large rig makes you, A: Larger in the "Trouser Department", B: More attractive to women, C: more capable of fathering children, D: Play better, and finally E: Larger in the "Trouser Department" (Yes I know that it was 'A' too, but so marked is the difference it that it's worth mentioning again.)
I thought large rigs were over-compensation for "small and insignificant genitalia".
you're obviously confused. Fast cars and yachts are as you suggest, compensatory devices. But not the mighty "Rig of Doom".
The "R.O.D" also is a sign of a larger brain, so I'll be surprised if many small rig owners will be able to understand the NASA findings.

That's what I was basing my findings on. Add to that giant SUVs and 4x4s. Thanks for clearing that up.

1,000 watts of tube joy; I think that qualifies.

Those are absolutely GORGEOUS basses mate! I am proper in awe! Respec'!
I finally took a couple of pics of my rigs. There are a few cabs and a couple of basses off to the side, otherwise this is the gear I use regularly.

Since I'm here.... here is a variation of my rig of doom.
We played a show on Friday in a packed, tiny little basement... Couldn't even fit both amps on top of the 4x12 because of beams and pipes being in the way. ha

Yeah the DB is a bear unless mic'd piezo'd and eq'd properly. I'm in the market for an EUB.
with your string bass at jazz gigs!
Cheers,
