Uff... stuck between two macs... but the rig's nice
Thanks aledeville! They liked putting the amps behind those lights on both sides of the stage for some reason.
Mark Bass Little Mark II through two Euphonic Audio VL-208s
EBMM Sterling wired as two separate pickups with separate volume and 2 band eq on each coil
Not shown is the pedal board ... EBS Multi-comp, EBS Octa-bass, Destination Rotation (Leslie effect), EHX Micro POG, Tech 21 VT bass and a Roger Mayer Voodoo Bass. On stage at Wet Willies Beale street Memphis TN.

Here's what I'm up to. Snapped the pic just before loading out last week.
Haha. Looks like it's been a minute since I posted in this thread. Here's what I'm up to now, in case you missed the picture in other threads.
I'm really digging this one. Simple to set up, moderately portable, and sounds killer!
I don't have a picture, but since I just read 53 pages, I may as well post.
Main rig is a Carvin BX1500 into a fEARful 15/6/1.
About 70 pounds, 900 watts bridged into 8 ohms.
If I was to change anything,
I'd add a second 15/6/1 because sometimes too much just dosn't seem like enough.
That would give me 1500 watts...
or to put it another way, 5 SVTs worth!

Apparently, I have not posted here. My usual rig is a Zoom B3 into a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 (I can't believe Fender was stupid enough to end production!) into an Accugroove Tri-115. Light and sounds fantastic! Basses are either my Regenerate M5 or the Lakland 55-94 my wife bought for me. I also use a Gramma pad that seems to tighten up the low end on a hollow stage.

Simplicity rules these days for me:
It's all about the PA in bigger rooms anyways. I find my Metro (tweeter way down) not just adequate but inspiring.

I know there are lots of heavy hitters out there but this does the trick for me.

Power Amp - Hafler Pro 5000 [450W/ch @ 4 ohms]

Not pictured: small house fan to keep the Hafler cool

Hevos 400b (400W @ 4 Ohms) hybrid amp
Compact Set cabinets (12"/6"/slot tweeter plus 15")
Doesn't play super loud, but very nice with both electric bass and EUB.
Current pedalboard (subject to constant change):

Wow, that's a setup... it's for bass only? If yes, how are you controlling the Lexicon?
Is the rack panel at the bottom DIY?
Impressive setup!

Yeah, the thing on the bottom is something I built. It started life as a headphone amp that has an audio input to allow playing along with a CD or other source.
Then I added a mixer channel so I can add in another stereo source to the bass chain. I use this for my keyboard.
Next I added some input switching for the bass input to go mono/stereo and to swap which pickup goes to what channel. Then I added high input impedance (10 meg) buffer amps that can be switched in to make sure the passive pickups don't get loaded down at all.
The Lexicon is just controlled by the knobs for now. I mostly use it to add a touch of reverb or an octave. Sometimes some delay or other effects can be cool too...
What can I say, I'm a Techno-Nerd™...
