Show your amps!

Ironically, that's the inverse of the rig that I posted a picture of yesterday (450 head, 301 cabinet).

I wanted a 371 or at least a 456 (450 + 406) in the worst way. List price on the 371 was $1299 and a 456 listed for $949 in '74 dollars (which equates to $5060 and $3700 respectively in 2002 dollars). Needless to say I spent $200 on the used Carvin head and homebuilt EV SRO 15 loaded 2x15. Kids today have it so easy with cheap used gear prices...that $200 that I spent in 1974 would have $780 worth of buying power today. Careful shopping can yield quite an amp for under $800.

OK, OK.....my rig consisted of the 410xl and the peavey head. *sigh*
The rest of the stuff is my FOH rig, all mackie.
I really love the double bay kriz kraft rack that hold my effects,eqs,etc. But it is too big for just a bass rig.
I was looking @ yours, pls give me a list of your stuff. I want to build a AAA bass rig.

here is what i partially own/play thru...

and what i play through most of the time, rig at the venue... minus 2 10's and maybe 3 inches off the bottom one. It is newer too... so maybe not this rig. Close enough

 

[cjgallen]

Took the Kappa 15 from my Avatar b115 and put it in an ebay woofer box.

I like it so much, I'm thinking about selling the Aguilar and making another one

GK2000 RB into Carvin RL210 is my live rig. The MB150s is for rehearsals and smaller gigs. The AmpegSVPpro is just in there for storage at the moment. The pedal is a Trace Elliot SMX Compressor.

In my basement there is also a Carvin V115 cab and a Hartke210 combo with the head long removed. Great cab but crappy amp.

 

[rabid_granny]

So here is my rig:

- Yorkville 200B (150W, 1x15)
- Yorkville Bloc 115B
- Tech21 Sansamp Bass Driver DI

It sounds like an Ampeg B112 except louder.
Sounds great with my Precision though.
I'm really proud of this rig because I
assembled it for less than $500 Cdn.

PS. BDDI is not to scale.

Rabbid-granny...that's a great rig!!! Last summer I saw a Chicago based band that plays "MTV era" covers and some originals a couple of times. The bassist uses the same Yorkville combo that you have with a MIM P Bass. His bass is stock except that he substituted a Lindy Fralin P bass pup for the Fender pickup. That (pair of hands), bass and amp produce the fattest, warmest, juiciest tone I've heard in a long time.

 

[rabid_granny]

Thanks for the compliment! The great thing about my gear is that most of it (except the 1x15 cab) is in mint condition. It's amazing what you can buy used if you're patient and know the market. Nearly-new at half the price of retail.

 

[Osama_Spears]

Nice trio of basses you got there...

That's the CB112, right? I've got the CB115 without the tweeter, and it's so easy to carry compared to my peavey 410. Unfortunately I dont get any definition from it alone as its just a 15 and lacks a tweeter. Good low end when used with the 410.

However, I'm just wondering how that CB112 of yours sounds. I want something that will have some definition for jazz soloing without having to haul my 410 to every practice, and if it's good enough, I may use the 12 on its own for gigs, or with the 15. I think 2 of these CB cabs is easier to stack (on their sides) than sticking a 410 with wheels on the top of the 15 flipped sideways, and perhaps a bit easier if I have a handtruck or soemthing to put both of the CB's on it

Nothing beats a big old 410 with a 15 though unfortunately, so the 410 seems like it'll always remain my gigging rig
