GreyBeard, speaker leaning against wall is one of my two Aiwa stereo speakers I use for practicing.
I should have moved it out of the shot.

OK, this thread is too much fun (for me anyway) to let slip away yet...
I showed this picture to a friend and he thought it was quite funny...this shows the beginnings of my obsession with gear.
I built these amp models (not the Line 6 kind) back in about 1973 or '74 when I was just a young teen. If I had my first bass at the time I would have been playing through a converted Hi-Fi tube amp and a home built 2x12 (which was later replaced by a 4x10 that I built using BIC Venturi woofers...if I had only had the vision to port the box and add a tweeter I could have created a revolution in the mid '70s...but that's another story entirely).
Notice that Action Jackson, the bassist, is playing a Ric 4001 that I fashioned out of a piece of scrap wall paneling. He's playing through an Acoustic 370 head with two 301s, a Marshall (Major of course) and a Hiwatt (probably a 400 watter) with an assortment of cabinets. The guitarists is playing a Les Paul though a bunch of Marshalls...poor drummer never did get any cymbals...
Needless to say, 30 years later I still get all goofy when I see a wall of amplification...

Wow, lots of pretty lights. Is that a filter you have on the camera lens, a red light in the room or what?

No...either I am not using my Nikon Coolpix 2100 properly, or it sucks.
I hope it's the former and not the latter. A $250 camera shouldn't suck IMO.

It kills.
Actually, the other night was the first time in awhile that I've used what I affectionately refer to as the "Rig of Doom" (in reverance to Jaco's "Bass of Doom").
I've been using the DB750 with two GS112's...and it sounds awesome and is much easier to move around, but the 10s offer a more focused and well-rounded tone in this configuration that just can't be beat.
Hi
Craig, Have you tried the 210 and one 112? how do you think that compares with two 112s?
you owned a 359 at one point right?How do think that would go with above combo's
Thanx
AJ

Ive always wondered about the quality or those Madisons? Are they made of particle board like the legions?
I know, I'm already showing this stuff on page nine. On that same page Mario Lewis' stack impressed me so much that I set up like this for our last gig. The whole first set I was afraid that it would fall on me and cause serious injury. Fortunately, it didn't. I've since stopped using the 210 in the setup. The knobs on the amp were way too high!
