Show off your rig!

...my TE 1048 and 1528.
Great cabs! I used to play through a very similar rig:

:bassist:
 
I'm all about modular these days, and tend to mix and match amps/cabs as needed. Usually what I find myself using most though is my PF500/PF115HE combo.

Just finished putting this rig together around April of this year. I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I divided the rack boxes so that I could take the top one with wireless/preamp/effects to our practice space or whenever a backline is provided and just patch into the supplied amp's effects return loop. I can actually put the full rig, believe it or not, into my 2009 Hyundai Elantra AND still have room for the gf. :)

Crappy cell phone pics but it's the best I could do. :D

I'm new to bass, and here's my humble first rig...a 1984 Peavey Fury into a Hartke Kickback 12 combo amp. I'm very impressed by the overall sound and quality of this set-up - Sounded quite nice at band rehearsal last night.

Oh, and I've included my guitar/electric-mandolin pedal board though I haven't tried the Peavey through it yet...Looking forward to that this weekend!

How do you like the axe fx on bass?
 
Here's what I've been using lately ..... ThunderFunk 550-B or a Tone Hammer 500 with a Berg HS-410 or for the louder gigs and/or that want the big look, a Berg NV610 .... but in all fairness the HS-410 can sound somewhat like the NV610, when you turn the tweeter off and turn the bass down a little

It is a FANTASTIC preamp and the effects are really top shelf. It has stereo effects that I use onstage if the stage is big enough for me to separate my cabs. I have the stereo effects going to FOH though which really seem to catch the listener's ear. I absolutely love that I can control everything from the MIDI pedal board and the two expression pedals and the sweet thing about that connection (AxeFX <--> MIDI controller) is that all I have to do is run a CAT5 cable between the two which provides all midi data communication as well as phantom power. No need to have an AC extension going to the pedal board or plug it into any AC outlet at all.

Yes, the only bass amp emulation in the AxeFX is a classic SVT head but it does it really REALLY well with all the original controls plus plus plus. It's really quite overwhelming what it is capable of. I definitely think it was worth the price I paid for it. :hyper:
