What was your first "gigging" rig?

[fishtx]

I thought this might be fun. What was your first "gigging" rig?

Mine was a Sunn Concert Bass head and a Cerwin Vega B36-MF cab with a folded horn 18" and a front loaded 12" (around 1977). Kinda wish I still had it...lol

There's a big thread on this somewhere... but it's always fun to look back.

1972.... Kustom 100... 2x12 white sparkle 'tuck and roll' baby!!!.. with a purple power light that would burn holes in your retina if you stared at it too long

Mine was a GK 800RB with Genz Benz 210XB and 115. Truely a solid rig for my first true "gig" rig.

LOL...I remember them. We used a Kustom Tuck & Roll PA system for a while. It was cool stuff back in the day!

an swr workingman's 15 combo.

 

[Puru]

Ampeg B25, w/ 2-15 cabinet, my dad bought it for me around 1969.
Had a '63 Precision to play through it. Got the bass for $115.

the first 'rig' that I actually gigged on was a Crate B100xl. The first "gig rig" that I had was a gk800 with a Kustom tuck n roll 215. I blew the speakers immediately and replaced them with some yamahas.

Peavey Mark III into an 18" Road cabinet. I'd sometimes bi-amp with a Fender 35W practice amp I had. Looking back, I don't know if it really helped or not. That Road cab is HEAVY DUTY.

 

[Baird6869]

Huge modified Hiwatt 100 watt head and a Hiwatt 4x12 cab. The head was configured more like a p.a.

Very strange thing.

 

[John Herzog]

Some old Sunn all Tube head and dual 15" cab. Awesome tone, still wish I had it. I bought the head used & cab used and don't know what model it was, most of the lettering had worn off.

 

[Mark Gollihur]

For a gig or two I used my dad's acoustic head with the homemade 1x15 he built; when I realized I was going to be doing more of the gigging thing I went out and bought a used Acoustic Model 122 combo for $175... that was my first rig.

 

[MWBass]

Well Let's see...

Ummm, Eden Metro with an Eden 410XLT underneath... Warwick thumb bass 4...

I have to admit that I started gear hopping and gas'n before I even got my first gigs...

 

[mrwink]

Fender BXR300 - for some odd reason I wish I still had it!

 

[markjazzbassist]

swr workingman's 4004 head and 4x10t cab.

 

[lawsonman]

Some kind of Sears Silvertone model I think.
