thats not a rig...thats litterly a blue and black wall of sound:D

I think it looks really cool...but,is all that needed?

I mean I can understand the combo for practice,the 4x10 combo for small gigs...and the big rig for large gigs,but whats the 115 stack for?:confused:

Quite correct - its not all needed and its about to change. I started with the 1*15 and the 4*10 combo but the ABM head was in there instead of the MAG, then for rehearsals I got the MAG 1*15 combo.

Earlier this year I locked my back lifting the 4*10 combo so I decided it was time to get something lighter hence the mini rig.

I put a MAG head into the 4*10 got an ashdown sleeve (jees that was expensive..) and put the ABM head in it. The MAG 4*10 is in the process of being sold to pay for a new 4*10 cab so we'll end up with just three setups. The MAG combo, a 4*10 + 1*15, and the mini cabs - the last two being able to be run of either the ABM head or the rack.

Or - my power amp will drive 4 ohms so I could have 2*15 cabs on one channel and 4*10 + 4*8 on the other (insert evil laugh here)

Here is some stuff I think nobody here has seen:

Main amp: German 1985 Craaft Bassic 400 - 400 W mosfet amp. Actually this is two 200 W amps in bridge mode.
Has 10 band EQ and Bass & Treble boost and mid cut. I drag a 120V to 220 V converter with me to run that on US line power.
I currently use an SWR Grand Prix preamp with it.

The cabinets is a little known Trace Elliot 2103X with two 10" and two 5" phase plugged midrange speakers (1991). On the bottom is a cabinet built by a really small German company, PMK, and has a 15 EV pro line (1981?).

I use more often the Gallien setup: GK 200MB. Originally a European model it now has a new transformer so I can use it here (ca. 1991).

My newest purchase is an EA CxL112 that I use in conjunction with the 200 MB. The small system sounds almost as good as the big system, but does not have the volume and the punch.

My main bass is a Soundgear 895. That is the bass that Ibanez built that is actually good.
Maple neck and Ash body - what can go wrong there. Oh, yes, don't forget to bring the wrench for the neck to the gig.....

Electronic of the SR is changed, Pickups are Bartolini with an MEC active electronic.

The fretless is a Fenix that I bought for $200 and also has Bartolini hambucker (since I could not stand the noise the the single coils make in my all original 1920s house, with 1920s wiring)

I also use a Zoom BFX708. I read people perceive this as a tone killer, I can't hear any degradation when the amp simulator is off.

Hey thanks BillyB...I've been pretty pleased with the cabs.

I got the 15 w/ the tweeter so I could use it as a stand alone cab for something...if I were always going to use them together I don't think I'd need both cabs w/ tweeters. I usually keep them pretty low
 
#433
I keep the tweeter off on the B115H when using it with the 210, and I keep it almost off on the B210. The B210 almost doesn't need it. The B115 needs it when used standalone, IMO YMMV, Dealer retains all rebates, Tax, Tags, and Insurance Extra, Not Valid with any other offer.
