Gig rig from the night before last:

Sadowsky Vintage Jazz V
Mesa Boogie Walkabout (gain and master at noon, passive mid bump, 50hz bass cut)
Ampeg BSE410HLF

I'm currently gassing for two light, 4ohm 12's or 15's to replace the 91 lbm 410. Mesa radiators or Audiokinesis Thunderchild x2. Thunderchildren.

My rig as noted above has changed. It's now a DIY shortscale EUB with a Warmoth Warhead neck, DIY maple body and Labella Nylon tapes through a Genz Benz Shuttle 9 and a Flite 1x15 with an 8 ohm Eminence 3015 neodymium driver.

EDIT: Add a Hofner Icon violin bass modified for use on an NS EUB stand.

Changed again:

GB MB200 used instead of the Shuttle 9. And I have a added a few DIY shortscale EUBs to choose from.

For me, it's any combination of the following:

'01 American Jazz Bass
'87 Jazz Bass Special
Markbass CMD 121H combo
Markbass Little Mark III head
Markbass Traveler 151P cab (or two of them)

That's me these days. I still have the options of my old Trace Elliot GP7-SM 115 combo or Fender Bassman 150, but they serve for home use nowadays. Also have a Bassman 25, cute little thing.

I am soooooo done with amp/cab GAS.:hyper: this rig just kills everything else I have played over the last 25+ years.

This is my gigging rig with the Mesa D180 thrown in just for a photo opp. For super big outdoor gigs or very large rooms, I have a Sadowsky (Berg) SA410 I an pair with the 2 Berg AE210s.

It is:
Jule Monique preamp
Crest ProLite 2.0 poweramp
1 or 2 Bergantino AE210 cabs
MTD 535
Spector Forte 5
