Who has a Bad Ass HOME only rig?

I'm curious to see some of the nicest home only rigs on TB. I remember seeing one guy a while back order an Aguilar 412 for use in his house only and thinking about what a badass home rig that must be.

I'm not looking for guys who think the ultimate home only rig is their GK MB 200 with nice headphones. But if you feel the need to post that go ahead.

I'm looking for rigs that stay put and don't leave your house.

My dream one day is to have a beautiful big home studio with amazing equipment that doubles as a good cool chill room.

If you have a dope home rig let's see it!
 
I don't play much at home. When I do it's usually to work up songs for a gig so my sound is that last thing I'm focussed on.

I don't have a home rig, as such. I usually just get out one of the amps and cabs I gig with. Currently I'm running through several sets with a Barefaced One10 and a Thunderfunk.
 
I usually don't plug into an amp, but when I do it's this one.

I forget the username of the super cool guy I bought my SVT from. But his other rig was a full Heritage SVT stack with a fridge. He also has a really nice collection of Rics. And he just likes to jam at home.

Wish I could remember his username. Just a cool guy. I could have hung out with that dude all day.
 
I had an Acoustic 320 head pumping through a 408 cabinet along with an Acoustic 360/361 stack down in the basement for a while. The 320 and 408 cabinet are gone, so I just have a 360/361 stack as the practice amp down there. There's another one that gets out of the house. I don't have an Acoustic 360 problem...
 
My Noble preamp has made it so most of my big gear stays home nowadays. I run the Noble into a Rumble 500 and the combination of tone and convenience is pretty great.

That said, I put this rig together knowing I'd rarely if ever gig it out. It is a classic combination around these parts, though the Dietz 2x15 w/ 800RB is the real big daddy.

This bad boy has been to a total of 4 or 5 shows in the 15 years I've owned it.

I've got a Barefaced Big Twin powered by a Broughton P15 preamp running into a Crown power amp. Hasn't left the house yet because gigs are slim lately and I have yet to find a venue in my area that can't be covered by my Barefaced Super Compact powered by my Orange Terror Bass 1000.

I'm thinking the big rig might go out if this new rock band ever gigs out or if my main band does any outdoor gigs this summer. I bought the Big Twin for another band that folded not long after I got it.

But yeah it is a sweet rig. Might be the best amp I have ever used, frankly.
