What did you pay for your MAIN stage rig?

[will33]

Before that rig I had

Ampeg SVP Pro, used € 400,--
Poweramp TA 1400 MK-X, 2 x 700 W @ 4 Ohm from Thomann Germany, new € 300,--
2 Peavey TVX 410'', used € 320,--

The complete fullstack is € 1.020,-- , equals about USD 1.300,--.

The SVP Pro + poweramp is still in use, but today it fires up another Tecamp L 810''-cab.

Because I needet a third rig for a third band, a friend gave me for cheap a Peavey TMax and a SWR Workingman 212''-cab. This halfstack was exact € 400,--. About USD 530,--.

I still use the items, but in other combinations. The TMax for example fires up the two Peavey cabs for a third band. Nice sound, best "no-Ampeg - Ampeg-sound" I know. So everything I own gets a lots of love.

It was a long way to get to the sound I love - until I noticed that I have a related sound on all three fullstacks. I stoped playing with a hifi-like sound when my SWR Redhead died. The last 5 or 6 years I prefer playing with a preamp tube overdriven sound, not too much. So the only difference when playing the different stacks is the way more punch and clarity and better response of the GenzBenz GBE 1200, and the more tube-like sound of the Ampeg SVP Pro. But in the mix the three amps sound - alike each other.

Wie findet du der T-Max? Es ist eine gute amp, Ja?

You'll habe to excuse meine Deutsch. Es ist nicht meine erste language.

Yeah, they have a sort of "thick" or "ballsy," tone. "Ampegish" I guess, at least a bit. Kinda like taking the blanket off a SS Ampeg but not quite as good as a tube one?

Anyway, way cool amps....I'll never sell mine.

Sehr schon.

$1400

GK 700rbII - $350 used, (best $350 I have ever spent)
GK 410 Neo x2 $400 and $450
Head Case, rack tuner, and rack drawer, cost about $200 all together

Also pictured is the Eden E300T which I paid $700 for, I tried to love it but I am just a GK guy.

My dream tone cost me 3K. Actually probably about 5K by the time the dust settles as I run multiple cabs for different venues or reasons.

Most used. BNA Audio Greenboy Dually 215, Reiner Amplification 6SL7 Tube pre, and a Carvin DCM3000L.

You probably should have added a 2000 or 2500 plus so it doesn't looked so stacked. Too many big rigs and custom heads/cabs north of 2K.

I left out. Total rig under 100 pounds. 3000 glorious watts of headroom. And 6SL7 goodness.

 

[Stevorebob]

$150.
Peavey Musician 400 head: Free (inherited from my mom)
Peavey 2X15 cab: $150

and I made the speaker cable out of an old lamp cord, and some jacks I found in a drawer. It's been a great gigging rig for the past few months.

That's my rig from the '70's!

 

[Baird6869]

About $2600.....

Monique rack preamp, 4U Gator case and Crest power amp = approx $1600 total. Add 2 used Bergantino AE210 cabs I bought used for $1000, I am in the $2600 range all in.

 

[Bassdirty]

I run a Genz Benz6.0 with 2x12T cabs $1200 best lightest bass rig I've ever owned no more ball busters for me!

Me too... GB shtl 6 and 2 Epifani 112 cabs.

bought used, and cant remember the exact prices, but close to that..(did get the stuff here on TB tho)

then add the tuner,wireless, misc. cables, pedals..

also, do we add in the money spent on years worth of searching for desired tone before finding current setup?

 

[39-Bassist]

I paid $250 for my 2nd head, but I play through 2- HD 750 Lowdowns and 2- Lowdown 4x10 cabs.....It is through my endorsement with Line6 though.
(I LOVE all the different sounds from this modeling amp, btw) I was blessed greatly with this....thanks.....Rich.....

 

[theduke1]

I forgot the line 6 G50 wireless $350 more

 

[nozkcb]

Markbass CMD 210 = $1100
Pedals (Bassbone, TU-2, EBS Multi-comp, nano board, etc) = = $500
Total for main gig rig = $1600

Cost of all the wonderful and heavier gear that never sees the outside of the studio (i.e. Aguilar, Ampeg, Thunderfunk, Trace Elliot, SWR) = $way more

Which makes me ask myself, 'why do I keep all that stuff?'

 

[mattbass6945]

genz gbe 600 and xb2 4x10, $500 each. $1000 and plenty of volume.

 

[Demo69]

$470. Gk 700rbii/Svt810e. And it will rip your face off.

 

[MegaSwing]

Last night about $950, 65 lbs.

 

[bstark]

Amp $1050, Cabs $400 X 2, Covers and road case $185.

Total $2035.

For me, money well spent and already paid for itself!

[hxcJORDAN]

GK Goldline 500, $350 (GC clearance)
Ashdown Neo 410h $300 (GC used)
Monster Power conditioner $100

Just pulled the trigger on a new EWI 6u rack case, best $140 ever spent.

Pretty stoked to keep this rig running for a while.

 

[NecroticImbecil]

Based on faulty memory.

400PS
2 Bag End D12Es
Sunn 415M
Furman AR1215
Sennheiser Digital 1000
DBX 163X
Korg DTR-1
Behringer BDI21
3 speaker cables
3 instrument cables
2 patch cables
Remington 365

Amp cover, vibration absorbing amp stand, and rack were made from salvaged materials, so negligible cost there.


~$2220

I have a Markbass LMIII head with two Markbass Traveler 151P cabs. Each component sells for $600, but I got 15% off on one speaker, so total around $1710. But 90% of the time I only need one speaker, so that would be around $1200 for the head and first speaker I bought.

 

[sxaxsx]

$275

Used GK800rb = $175
Used Peavey 115bx = $99

 

[russpurdy]

Traded $145 worth of gear for a yorkville 800 watt bassmaster head and yorkville 8x8 cab. Cables included.

 

[sotua]

USD 550 for a genz Benz shuttle and USD 450 for a 1x12"t locally made neo cab.
