I sold my Ampeg 6x10 last month, and hope to replace it with either a Mesa 4x10 or 2x12, or something similarly portable. Also, I took this photo hours before my Korg DTR-2000 arrived, so just kind of visualize it there

Played a big gig for the city of Bettendorf Iowa on the fourth and once again it made me wonder why I lust after other gear.Beautiful day,big stage,good sound and lots of people that seemed to have a good time.We were pretty loud and my rig just cut through great,very clear and tight.I played my TL5 for the first time live and it was great.Even with my bass rig kicking the guitars and drums came through and the vocal monitors were clear.Very good time.I don't have a picture from this year but here's one from last year.
I just picked up a Aguilar GS412 used on Craigslist (great deal!) and then gave into GAS and bought a new Phil Jones Bass M-500 to power it. (My enormous cat "Beastie" makes the rig look smaller than it really is!)
Here's another one taken from a normal standing perspective:
I can't wait to play this at full volume! (I'll be taking it to a follow-up audition this Wednesday.) I live in a townhouse, so I've kept it very quiet so far -- but the tone is great.
Your cat looks like a "bad ass dude".
I'll betcha Mr. Tom Bowlus doesn't have one of these. 
But seriously, folks. When I want to mow down the first 10 rows without bringing out multiple cabinets, this humble (and stupid light) setup seems to be adequate. Man, am I getting lazy.
P.S. This is what you get for resurrecting a thread from December of '06.

I bet the HBP-1 is a great pre for the UL410. I love that preamp.
Beautiful Stambaugh by the way

I don't have the vintage bassman any more, it's back to being a guitar amp form my brother. Here's the current rig:

You got me, there.
Though I do have its ancestor, the RAD Bass combo:
Complete rig for $550? I like that!
Behringer 450 watt amp - $200
UK Laney 8x10 - $150
Dean Edge Q5 w/hardshell - $200
Rockin on a budget - Priceless
When my friends and I want to know what a bass really sounds like, we plug it into this ...
Killer clean sound. I've had this thing for almost 30 years. Works great with AEB's and DB/EUB's. Unfortunately under-powered.

Still in mid-deal, but it's here: The Rock Rig! Sunn 300T with Fender (Sunn) 215 cab:
And the now-established Reggae Rig... Sunn 300T with Peavey 412 TXF cab:
Very different cabs, same head make for quite different-sounding rigs.

Jesus, what a hell of an amp setup. Very impressive. Two questions, Which one is the Volume knob, and 2, who hauls all that gear around for you..
a guy gave me an amp he found in his garage last night and i searched on the web for info on it but couldnt find anything apart from someone was selling one.
its a Trucker Custom Sound, i dont know anything about it, apart from it was made in england and was just wondering if any one had heard anything about it or if ye have a link or anythign thatd be sweet!
