Which rig to bring to next show?

[4001]

I guess it's pretty obvious...
'73 Ampeg SVT with SVT-810e

Seriously though, looks / vibe notwithstanding, my choice would be whichever I thought would work best in the venue, sit best in the mix with that band, and fight with the FOH the least. How big is the room, and how big is the stage? How many meat sacks in the audience?

You are dead-on correct, of course. Fortunately, I think any of these rigs should work reasonably well, which is why I put them down (okay, so the RAD Bass might not give me much pant-flapping action on stage... ).

This room is an old theater which was built inside a hotel. Later, a Masonic Temple took over the building, and they used the theater as their main hall. A friend of mine bought the building with the idea of setting up a recording studio, but when he saw that cool theater, he decided to bring it back to use as a live venue. The acoustics are very good in the room. It'll hold about 200 people, and the stage is elevated about 3 feet or so. Pretty large stage area.

I change my vote, to something not on your list. Classic 400 and a fEarful. Call it the honymoon talking, but I cant get over how good this combo sounds...

Gotta be the SVT.

I could do that, too...

With a Stingray it totally locks in the AC/DC sound.

And out of nowhere comes an unexpected dark horse contender to claim first place!

I just received a Fender Super Bassman and 6x10 in for review.
