Ampeg BA115 XLR'd out to an OLD 400W Peavey PA head, which runs a custom 15" cab...

the 15" cab was given to me, the PA head also given , so all i paid for was the Ampeg combo...cheap?? yes...loud as F*&^?? YES!!...

come christmas this setup will go in favor of a Hartke 410/Backline 600 setup!:hyper:
 
I just found this thread and spent the last hour clicking through page by page. There's a lot of cool rigs on here for surprisingly little cash. I guess I should show mine too.

Dr. Bass 4 ohm Rx212 cab - $350 (brand new)

No pics, I dont own most of this stuff anymore. I used to run this setup. Acoustic 370($200) into a peavey 412tvx($175), acoustic 270(free) into a sunn 610l($200). I ran the 370 clean and the 270 dirty. Not only was it a rig of doom, but I used it to play doom. I will post picks of my new setup soon. still a few pieces to add. All tube, three amps and still cheaper than what some people pay for just a head.
