Your Gig Rig

Gig rig. One 4 ohm Berg cabinet @ 800 watts is plenty for me.

Love the Ampeg spacer in the rack. :bassist:
 
My newest addition. Still have my Aggy 500sc and GS410 cab, but got this last week. 2 gigs with it so far,...it's a rock and roll animal !

Mesa 400+ with 2 svt410he cabs, Ritter Classic, Modulus Q5 and Lakland 5502 fretless. Soon to come, a Roland V-bass, possibly patched to the Aguilar rig with straight bass signal to the Mesa/Ampeg. WOOF!!!! :bassist:

Yeah I know it is a guitar amp but I can't beat the tone, and I have used it long enough at high enough volumes that if I blow a speaker it would be an acceptable loss.

the 15'' work-in-progress underneath it gives me more than enough pre-distortion volume to be more than audible with my drummer, lead singer, and rythm guitarist, even in our small 10X10 practice area with them cranked to the point that I wear earplugs.

I will admit I do use the amps power amp out into the PA when our lead guitarist is there, but thats for his benefit not the rest of ours. (from his corner my amp is practically behind the rythem guitarists amp, and the drum kit, and he says he cant hear it at all.) This setup is more than enough for stage monitoring as I trust both my PA rig, and the singers, and use the amps power amp out again, and both keep the tone I like.
 
Here's a picture of my rig at the city wide 4th of July gig. I usually use my 310 cab with my 115 but thought I'd try my little 112 with the 115 just to see how it works at a bigger gig. The 115 cab has a Kappalite 3015 and the 112 is a Selenium neo 12. Both have the same Selenium tweeter and crossover, I turned the tweeter on the 115 just about off for the gig.

No problem volume wise with these cabs and the LMII. I've got to say the LMII really kicks, I don't miss the power of my old RBI/Crown rack rig with this amp. I was standing about 10 to 15 feet away and off to either side of the stage and could hear quite well. I have trouble hearing my rig on shorter stages because Bruce puts his amp up on his homade stand and the 12"Celestion is almost in my ear but at those gigs I use my 310 with my 115 cab and it's at the same height as his amp.

The tone with these cabs was clean and tight, very good low end. My open E string has a very nice growl to it that I love and this rig made that ring. The mids weren't as present as my 310 cab but it was still very clear and I could hear every note I played . It was cool and wet at this gig and near the end of our 2 hour set my fingers weren't doing every thing I wanted them to do and the way this rig punched I could tell if I missed something. I'll keep using my 112 for my lightweight jam cab and use my 310 for my gig cab but it was fun to try my rig this way,it had plenty of juice for an outside big gig.
