Ok, just made a couple of changes to my rig and have to show off my set up somewhere...this looks like a good place!
The new pieces are a GK 2001RBP preamp and the Schroeder 1210! I'm excited to try this stuff out on a gig...just need a gig now

Yes and Yes.
Good eyes.From top to bottom it is:
Furman PL-plus
Ampeg SVP-pro
GK 2001 RBP
Behringer Composer Pro MDX 2200
QSC PLX 2402
The Behringer seems to work fine. No problems ever. I try to set it so that it only compresses when I really dig in or slap. I also use the noise gate when I have the tweeter up and I'm using my carvin which is a noisier bass. It's cheap and it works - can't compare it to the other bands since I've never used them.
The GK should be nice. It is 2 channel. The clean channel is killer good! and the overdrive/distortion channel sounds like it might be useful too. This second channel is more like a pedal distortion sound. It doesn't sound at all like tube overdrive to me, but that's why I have the Ampeg too. I plan to use both pres for different nights/sets depending on what subtle tone differences I want that none of my bandmates can hear anyway!
I'm not hatin'. I have had a Behringer 3000 head, I own a Behringer 2442 mixer and a dual 15 band EQ with the feedback detector (not destroyer.) I have not had any problems and was just wondering about the compressor.

How about the smallest and lightest power amp I know of (Acoustic Image Slave amp) with a wonderful Tube pre/DI on top. The whole power amp and tube pre setup weighs about 7 Ibs........ maybe less!!!!!
Very Loud 600 watts at 4 ohm!

Hello Johnny!
Nice ABM rig there.
I have same without the mini15, which will be updated some day. My rig sound quite nice with just that mini 4x8 even with 5 string, but I think it will be VERY nice sounding when there´s mini15 under it.

Thanks. I'll be honest, I replaced a Trace Elliot rig - AH500 head, 4 x 10 and 1 x 15 cabs (my back was giving me issues, and I effectively downsized). So I just went with the 4 x 8 and the 1 x 15 - seemed to be swapping like for like.
However, I'd suggest if you can you try out 2 of the 4 x 8 cabinets! I'm beginning to think this is the way I should have went, as, like you I have found the 4 x 8 excellent on it's own with 5 string basses. Whereas, my 1 x 15 on it's own just isn't quite as good - even on the low B
If money wasn't an object ( and it is....'cos it Xmas), I'd maybe ditch my 1 x 15 and get 4 x 8 right now.....
(In fact, I have my eye on an Ashdown 8 x 10 in a local store right now.......damn this GAS!)

The True-Voice Preamp/DI is something I've come out with. You can find info on my site.
The Acoustic Image Slave Amp is coming out at NAMM. This is the Proto-type I am running through its paces, but I must say its quite wonderful. I've used it with a Number of different preamps now and it works wonderfully!!! Its a Very strong 600 watts, thats forsure. Rick does amazing work.... no doubt!!!!

What poweramp is that? Do you have a link to the manufacturer?

Not sure, but I'll be talking to Rick in the next few days and I'll see where they are going to be priced at and get back to you or either I'll PM you since I can't post it.
I have four amps or rigs. The two that are not shown are the Peavey Firebass 700 with the Peavey 410 TVX cabinet. The other not amp not shown is the Ampeg SVT 4Pro with and the Ampeg Pro 410 bass cabinet.
