What rig are you using at most gigs?

[Admiral Akbar]

so in pictures or words, what rig have you been bringing to your gigs? (Not looking for a rundown of all your gear, just what you bring regularly to gigs)

If you have many different types of gigs, then what pieces are common to every gig, and what pieces are unique to that gig?

For me:

Bass:
Pensa J-style 5... and either a precision bass, or NS CR4 EUB
Pedals:
Usually none, but sometimes Aguilar Octave, or vintage Ibanez filter pedal
Amp:
Lately I'm using Aguilar direct box --> qsc500 power amp --> Bergantino hd210 with optional hd112
(For larger gigs, Aguilar db750 replaces the qsc500)

For jazz gigs:
Upright bass --> Acoustic image Coda via both Realist pickup and DPA mic.

I use the same gear at all our jobs.
Large stage, small stage, small club, large club, outside stage show, ect., ect.

Two Fender Jazzes, (a old passive 4 string Jazz and a active Elite 4 string Jazz.)
Two old Mesa M-6 heads, (one is a back-up and stays in the truck.)
Two old Avatar Neo 210 cabinets that I stack as a vertical 410, (only use one 210 at rehearsals.)
Always have FOH available when it's needed.

For most gigs....
5 string P bass and whatever backup I grab that day.
Mesa Walkabout Scout 15" combo and matching cab stacked vertically.
Rolls Red Square DI.

I try to run two channels when I can. DI set pretty bright and the rig a bit more beefy.

 

[4StringDave]

Fender Jazz bass
Nemesis NC115 combo

That's it.....

 

[LKTraz]

Basses Rickenbacker 4003FG and Ibanez SR250. Occasionally my Epiphone AccuBass if I want something that "growls".

As far as amp/cab, The head is always Hartke 3500.

Depending on venue the cab could be:

Peavey B115
Early 70's vintage Ampeg B215 (It still has the ORIGINAL speakers!)
Hartke 810XL
Or a combination of any 2 of them.

115 for small venues, 215 or 810 for medium, 810 or 810-215 for large/outdoor gigs.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

Fender American Standard P-Bass, Eleizer Lara Custom Jazz, TH-500 and Berg CN212. Sometimes on certain gigs, I bring my Muckelroy Solo 5 string.

 

[tzdroik]

1997 Stingray 5
Heavily modded Fender Standard Jazz V
Radial DI pedal

.... almost forgot. Polytune clip on tuner.

 

[_Some Dude]

When space/volume may be an issue; Jazz Bass - Mesa D800 - Mesa 112 and/or 115.

When space/volume won't be an issue; Jazz Bass - Mesa Strategy - Mesa PH 410.

Polytune clip on.

 

[Steve]

you're pretty much guaranteed to see a Sadowsky and a Fearless 212 cab. You'll probably see a Mesa D800+ sitting on top of it just because it's new. If not that, a Demeter HBP1 and a power amp

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

This:

Fender Rumble 500 combo on top of Fender Rumble 2x10 cab, G&L SB-2T and Fender Precision Select. No pedals.

 

[bound'n'blocked]

Carvin B5 through a Sansamp into a Gallien-Kruger MB-500 to Hartke 410 cabinet. On a rare occasion, I will bring my Squier P5, but not very often.

There is a band I sub for on occasion where the drummer owns a 2x15 cab that I use if I play for them, only for the fact I dont have to drag my own cabinet there. He will bring his and load it for me!

[RustyAxe]

Depends on the gig ... I can scale up or down. Tonight I'll be playing bass for a singer/songwriter in a concert held in an old stone church. I'll have my Guild B-50 and use my GK MB200 to my GB STL-8 cab, DI to FOH if needed (I've played here before, and didn't need it). Sunday I'll be with the country band ... Fender Jazz, GB Shuttle 6.0-12T with another STL-12 cab. If we play bigger gigs I use the Shuttle 6.0 and I'll go DI to FOH or just mic the cab(s).

 

[JRA]

i only have one combo amp (GK MB210) so it's that one for sure.
#2 chinese fretless PJ's = one for backup. tuner for each.
no efx at the gig, unless we schedule certain tunes: reverb and chorus.

either the GK is enough for my gigs, or i have FOH. i've taken an extension cab to some gigs only to find that it was too much.

5 string Pedulla bass, 2x10 Eden cab,TC RH450 class D amp.
