I was just showing how I've been making 1-2 space racks for different things. I like the mix and match method....and I can lift them!
Those were 2 Samson single space power amps(one is gone now), 2 Peavey Probass 1000 pre-amps, and a Roland GP-8( I have three). They are sitting on top of a 2-10 self made stereo cab for practice.

The older rig is a Peavey MarkIII(1980), a fairly new Acoustic 410B, and a single 18" squeezed in to a Peavey 16 Subwoofer cab...it sounded awesome! Sounded?..I just sold the 18" sub...(Just bought a lot of new stuff), but will miss it very much. I bought the 18" raw in 1971 or 72 for $30 used. I got many, many compliments on that speaker.

When I bought the head, I wanted an Acoustic 370, but I got two Peavey MarkIII's for the same price! I was and still play stereo. All of my 2 PU basses get wired that way.
 
Really want to pick up one of those Zoom B9.1ut's. How do you like yours?

It's fantastic, I can't rate it highly enough. I've had many other mti fx including three boss gt6b's and always gone back to a huge separates pedal board. After buying the b9.1 I actually sold the whole board. My wife was stunned!! The switching is instant and the whole unit is just fantastic. Go get and dont look back ;-)

My trusty Little Mark 450 i bought 10 years ago. Still the best Amp for me, powerfull, solid sound, easy to handle. When the LMK II came out (among other very lightweight Amps) i went to a big GC to do a Test-Run with all the new Stuff, propably to save some weight and get me some new Candy;-))) Result: I kept it an got a second one used three years ago and will never have to think about amps any more. :D

Below that's my DIY 15"/8" i'm using for years now. It's a bit like the fEarful-Speakers here on TB. It's a very High Excursion Woofer from the german Company BMS together with an Beyma Mid-Speaker, custom-build crossover at about 500 Hz and tuned Cabinet. It is clean and can be loud as hell. With the VT Bass in Front of this Rig you can go crazy. THIS THING ROCKS :bassist:
