What are you rockin' these days?

I'm just curious to know what rig everyone is rocking now-a-days. Let's start with your primary bass into what you're rocking.

Here's mine.

Lakland 4-94 (w/ Bartolini's)
Into Orange AD200B
From Speaker out into Radial JDX DI
(If you're unfamiliar with this particular DI visit:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed])
From that DI I split into my Bergantino NV610
Also from the DI I run the XLR out into a UA LA610 Mic Pre
From the LA610 is my direct signal.
I also mic the cab with a EVRE20.

That's the roadmap through my rig. Pictures to come.
 
My motto is K.I.S.S...........................!

Either a '08 MIA Fender Jazz or a Warmoth "FrankenJazz" fretless
Either a GK 800RB or a 700RBll through a GK Neo 410 and/or a GK Neo 210

No effects, stomp boxes, DI's or wireless stuff for me.

Nothing new here. [sigh]

I went low budget last week & actually had great results: Precision>B2.1u(just for the tuner/volume pedal)>delay>70's Crate 1B 30-watt 1x12 combo. I also went from the Zoom's DI into the PA, and it sounded better than ever(small Sunday night church service w/me, drums & one gtr/singer).
 
Either a Warmoth G4 with a Status J neck and Fred Hammon Darkstar pickups or a Warmoth Jazz with a Status J neck and DiMarzio Model J pickups into the following signal path:

Sonic Research ST-100 Strobe Tuner
Tech21 VT-Bass Preamp (used for overdrive/dirt)
3-Leaf Audio Groove Regulator envelope filter
Rothwell Love Squeeze compressor
Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail spring reverb emulator
Radial JDI
Tecamp Puma1000
LDS-fEarful 15/6/1
 
I'm just curious to know what rig everyone is rocking now-a-days. Let's start with your primary bass into what you're rocking.

Well, I'm in two bands, so my primary bass changes...

Yamaha BB3000MA (for my Rock cover band)
Hanewinckel Vintage Draken 5-string (with Nordstrand Big Singles and 3B-5b preamp for my Variety cover band)
Carvin BX1200
Zoom B2.1u multi connected to Effects Loop
LDS 15/6.5 cab

I generally just run a direct signal to the PA using the DI on my BX1200.

Nordy vJ4 (w/big singles)>Pitchblack tuner>Xotic BB bass pre>MXR Bass Octave Deluxe> Catalinbread SFT>Mad Prof SWAW>ElectroH Nanostone>Mesa M-Pulse 600> Mesa Diesel 115 (rehearsals/coffee shop gigs) or Mesa PH 212 (4ohm) regular bar gigs.

However, next week, I'm trading the M-Pulse 600 and BB bass for a Big Block 750 in a Mesa head case.

Ampeg 70s V6-b

pedals consist of:

boss tuner
bluebeard fuzz
70s morley power wah fuzz
ernie ball volume pedal
Barge concepts VFB-2
