Stingray HH -> SVT-II -> Marshall 810
Been a while since I played out, but that's generally the way I did it. Sometimes ran a BDDI (parallel out going to SVT with a line out to the PA), if the gig required. Used to use the BDDI more before getting the Stingray.

For me, it's:
Roscoe or Nordy > Monster Cable or X2 Wireless > Markbass > Epifani
Tuner's a direct out of the amp.

There are a lot of interesting responses here. I regret not asking for more opinions or insight on why you chose what you did. Thanks for the replies.
My response was...
Fender Prophecy (equipped with SD 1/4 Pounder P and J) into Ashdown ABM 500 into Ashdown ABM 610.
Reason - I like the sound of the P and J combo. Love the tube drive from the ABM head and love the power coupled with tweeterless 610.
I do have the necessity of distortion in 1 or 2 songs, but on the whole my sound comes from bass-amp-cab and I am loving it.
I've been doing two and three piece jazz gigs lately, with a guitar and sometimes a singer. My setup is:
> Either a 1974 Fender Precision with an All-Parts fretless neck or a Bill Nash 1957 Precision Bass, into a
> 1970s Ampeg B-15N
These amps don't need any help to sound great!

Yes! I manage this with two quarter inch plugs, one being right angled, separated by 15 feet of shielded coaxial cable. 
Oh, oh, should have read the OP first instead of just the title.:scowl: So a bass, cable, Ampeg V4-B through either a Traynor 115 or Peavey 210 or both. I know mixing cabs is frowned upon by the TB masses, but all the 210 does for me is increase volume and add crispness to the 15".
