Heres mine.
I dont really need it loud because my band has subs and a line array from alcons. Ill never be lacking in the low end sub department. One of these days ill have the matching blonde fender 8x10.

Wait, how does this song start again??
The new small rig.. Picked up an Eden EX112 and an EarCandy Soverign 1 x 12. Great sounding setup and extremely loud!!
No its an old s810. The drummer in my band got it and a pearl master class snare drum for a trade on craiglist, all the guy wanted was a double kick drum pedal..? Dude was either very generous or completely ignorant. My drummer gave that cab to me. It actually sounds really really good, and LOUD!!!
Lucky bassist! Very nice! So is it actually an Aguilar 810?
Oh, was S810 an early Aggy 810 huh?
Home rig, but the cab sounded so good i put it with my Mesa 400!
4x12" with guitarspeakers, i have other amp to provide bottom.

Here is mine. I first bought the 115 cab brand new about 6 years ago and then got the rest progressively 2nd hand (head last year, 410 only two weeks ago).
Large: boring but classic / awesome. Fender and Ampeg.
Small: GK MB212 and soon to be changing tbd small/light SS head.

Enjoying seeing and learning about so many great rigs. Photo attached of three rigs I have collected over the years. In the mid-1980s, I purchased a GK 800 RB and companion GK 410B speaker cabinet. These have served well and faithfully for decades and last year I was able to locate a similar vintage GK 115B speaker cabinet. Wonderful tonal options in biamp mode now with both cabinets. I also obtained a 1966 Fender Bassman head and speaker cabinet a number of years ago, foolishly trading away the speaker cabinet in the early 90s, while keeping the amp head in storage for years. Again, last year I was able to find a 1965 2x12 cabinet with original speakers, in good condition. Dusted off the head and had my local amp tech go over the cabinet and head. The result is a wonder, warm tube amp. I keep hearing that these amps are particularly sought after by guitarists, which makes sense. That said, I love the sound of a Fender bass through this rig. Lastly, after much searching and saving, I was able to locate the "holy grail" of bass amps, a 1966 Ampeg B-15N Portaflex. I had wanted one for decades, having recorded with these in studios over the years. Figured that it was time to make it happen as these seem to be getting scarcer and more expensive. The amp has lived up to its reputation, with a warm, rich tone and classic sound that is just right. I feel very happy and fortunate to have these amps. At this point, I want to ultimately get a newer rig for gigging, in order to preserve and use my vintage amps in my home space. Many of the postings on this thread have been helpful in the research process. First photo is the Bassman amp with my restored 1966 Fender Jazz Bass. The "new" B-15N.... All three...
Resort rig over the weekend. SVT-VR & 212AV. My surge protector from 1999 finally died over the weekend. It probably wasn't protecting from surges anymore but either way...RIP
