Your Gig Rig

[Matt Dean]

Ok... here's my main gigging rig (see attached files). I wouldn't change a thing!

I'm re-posting this as I deleted the photo... before I upped my membership on TB.

 

[Sten]

Oh yeah, Ive changed mine...

Any specs on that poweramp? Not too many 1U poweramps around, I'd love one

 

[GhettoBrassGuy]

This is what I used on the US tour I did last month. Had to downsize from my normal rig because we had to fit everything in the back of a van instead of the usual trailer.

...and this is what I'm using around town now. Sweet!

if you're looking for a 1U poweramp, i can recommend a Stewart World 1.2, as its been a great power amp for me.
i run it bridged mono @4 ohms /1Kwatts.

His profile says he has a Peavey DPC 1400X -- now discontinued (unfortunately).
What's with the Sub-Zero badge?

Glad you haven't had thermal issues with yours.

I'd warn general readers that some owners had thermal shutdown problems with the World 1.2 and the World 600 because of the lack of an internal fan.
Of course, if you want to use an external fan in warm situations, I'm sure that would resolve those issues.

that red pinstripe on it does look like its a peavey.

i guess that i'm lucky since mine hasn't thermalled yet. and i have pushed it pretty hard too.

I don't know what percentage of bass-playing owners have had problems, I've just heard some reports.

I'm sensitive to thermal issues because I live in Texas and playing outdoor gigs in the summer heat caused a bridged QSC PLX1600 (w/4ohm load) to shutdown a couple of times and PLX's are very reliable amps.

I started carrying a stand fan with me that I would set behind my rack to keep things cool (PITA, but it worked).

I need either a 115 or 212 cab to go with the 210. The avatar 210 handles the low end great, but I'd like a little more.

My "amp" gig rig, not always with together. Smaller venues 2x10, bigger 4x10 and so on...for "no amp" gig just pedalboard.

some updates;
band rehearsal/small gig setup

Grabber 3 and Peavey Nitrobass. DONE!

A red grabber!? AWESOME!

Check out the second post here to solve the subzero issue . My speaker cabs are badged "Wolf" hehe.

Here's what I play:

Unfortunately I don't technically own this stuff, I've just been using it for the past 4 or 5 years. The rig belongs to my guitar player (he's a serious gear hound), and the bass belongs to the singer (used to play some bass, but now plays acoustic.) Lucky me! A little on the heavy side.

After 3 years of pro playing and about 25 years of dreaming, this is my completed rig. Aside from my rig, I only need a couple really good basses now. The Ibanez works, but I'd love an F Bass and a Sadowsky too.

when i saw the monkees reunion tour in 1986, their bassist had a pilot that looked just like that. very underrated bass, that pilot.

My smaller gig rig (though it does handle some medium sized gigs rather well)...

How do you find the Aphex 204? I have one, but took it out of my rack because I didn't really find it added much in live situations.

I mostly just use it while recording now.
