You need to add $1501 - $2,000, $2,001 - $2,500, $2,501 - $3,000, $3,001 - $3,500, $3,501 - $4,000, then maybe $4,001+ to your poll. Anyway, a little over $2K for me usually or it could be a little over $3K depending on which head I use.

I paid $150 for a Fender Bassman 400 head and $150 for a Fender Bassman 115 cabinet. It is a definite budget rig, but actually not a bad $300 investment.
Glockenklang Blue Soul
FEARLESS 210
Pedal board work $3000
Status S2 Classic 5er
It sounds amazing but I cringe to add it all up.

Between $750 and $1250, depending on how much I want to blast and how I feel about the schlep. It's funny how the smaller rig combinations try to cost more. I buy everything used and don't know anything about effects. I've only had one new bass and one new amp in my life. About seven new cabs. Go fig'r.
Back in the 90s, before I had my personal epiphany regarding gear, my stage rig got close to $3K. It was schweet, to be sure, but I was always worried about something happening to it. My current stuff is close to expendable by comparison—and still great sounding.

Hmm..interesting topic...let's see
Ampeg SVT4Pro - $1,300
Ampeg 610. - $900
Tuner/wireless. - $500
Ampeg HSVT CL. - $2000
Ampeg HSVT. - $1200
Road Cases. - $500
Wireless system. - $600
So, depending on the rig I'm playing $2700 for one and $4300 for the other.

I'm actually curious myself... I've never really done the math since it's all been accumulated over the years...
Currently, I'm with:
Carvin BX1000 - $150 Used
Sansamp BDDI - $175 barely used
LDS 2x12/6 3way - $600 barely used
so yeah, $925. Replacing the BDDI with a RBI so I have a rig that makes sense.
My last touring rig:
Carvin BX600 - $400
BDDI - $175
Avatar B410 neo - $300
Carvin BRX2.10 neo - FREE! (the guy tossed it in with the 600!)
So I guess I've been able to keep it cheap, which is good for a recently graduated currently unemployed degenerate!

Hi.
This thread is worthless without pics...

Fame BVH300 662€ New
2*(RPS?)EV TL 505 250€ Used
Heavy dolly, 20€ Scrapyard
Tie-down 20€ New
Cables ~20€ home-rolled
Outside of the OP specs:
SVTDI 250€ New.
So, about 1000€ without the DI.
Great monitor rig when EQ'd right. Beams nicely, as most of the 18"ers do, so it won't interfere with the mics much and if used as a side-fill, won't interfere with the PA at all.
Looks cool as hell, and gives a nice thump on-stage.
On narrow halls it does work as a standalone, but gives an uneven dispersion. Obviously.
The 505's double nicely as mains bottoms if I go ampless on smaller/more difficult gigs, so a very versatile rig.
Regards
Sam
