new rig

Well here it is, my golden opportunity. Me and my band have received the ultimate opportunity to play on Broadway in Nashville! My current rig is: Basses: Gibson Thunderbird (D Standard and Drop C Tuning) Ernie Ball Sterling SUB Stingray 4 (E Standard, Drop D, and Eb Standard) Pedalboard...

Well it was finally high time to update my rig. I've been wanting to get a more powerful rig that was also lightweight as my apartment has no elevator. Needless to say it sounds awesome.

My Peavey Mark IV head is giving up the ghost. I ordered the Behringer Ultrabass BXD 3000H. My cabs are an old Peavey 1810 and a Peavey Headliner 410. I'm not sure how to wire these cabs so I get the full 300 watts from the head. The Ultrabass has 1 output which will give 300w/4ohm, or...

I watched the Dead & Co. tour kickoff last night. Oteil is still using a pile of Epifani cabs, but he's added some single 18's in very large front loaded cabs. I imagine that low B is pretty killer on stage. As usual, the cameras are on John, so it's hard to see exactly what he's got. Anybody...

So I'm now 3 months into this Warwick LWA500 / Hartke HD112 setup and I could not be more thrilled. The punch, tone, and bottom end of this combination is quite satisfying. As a "rule of thumb" I'm using 1 cabinet for crowds of up to 100, two cabs with crowds up to 200, and if there's more...

Hey everyone! First time on talkbass so I thought I'd come to the community for some advice... Currently jamming as a 3 piece: Sort of loud drummer, he could be louder if he wanted to be Guitarist plays a strat and a fender tube amp, can't remember what it is off the top of my head but it...

So, it has been a couple years with the same rig and finally decided to change things up a bit. Sorry for the bad photo's, but pulled the trigger on an Aguilar TH500 and a couple of the SL112 cabs. Doing a mix of country, rock, and funk in a small club (about 100 people there) this set up did...

I've played Schroeder cabs in the past and always loved em. Sold my Tecamp S212 and GB Streamliner and got myself into a Wayne Jones Audio Powered 2x10 with a Wayne Jones Pre and well, decided I'm just an "amp and 2x12 guy" So I decided to order a cab that would look classy and do all that I...

I just joined a new Funk/R&B/Party (Funk Syndicate)band and we are ampless. I needed a a great DI so what better choice than a PF20T? Sounds great thru the FOH. Band and sound engineer love it. Punch and tone for days. I use a Grizzly bass pedal to grind it up a bit on my pedalboard which...

I had a week off from school and no wife and kids for a few days so I put my time to good use. I started a thread a while back asking about 8” speaker suggestions for a 4x8” or 3x8” cab/combo idea I had. I went with only 2 Faital Pro 8RS250s. The cabinet itself is made of 7-Ply Baltic...

I got a Peavey MiniMega a week or so ago and today I picked up a Peavey PVH 212 . Breaking the cab in right now playing some music through it and I know what good sound is and this thing sounds like lower HiEnd Audio speakers. Usually playing music through Instrument speakers sounds like crap ...

So I decided to try out a fliptop set up. I play a lot of opening act slots and festivals, so I need something I can get in and out with quick. I was also looking for more of a vintage Motownish tone. I'm in an original Americana Rock/Country band, so I'm not trying to clone Jamerson or...

I just put together my latest rig. I wanted something light weight and powerful. After appreciating Darkglass' work on the preamp of my NG-2, I went with a Microtubes 900. For the cab, I wanted something in 4 ohms to maximize the potential of the M900. I've generally been a 4 x 10" player...

Last week I finally completed my dream rig. I picked up a used Mesa Subway D800+ over a month ago but had no cab for it (I've been using a GK MB210 Combo for 8 years). After much hemming and hawing, I landed on an Audiokinesis Changeling 115 (C115). Luckily (and this helped me decide on this)...

TLDR: Aguilar SL410x or recommend a good cab with 12s? Genzler Magellan 800? ____________________________ So i have to move from my beloved San Diego to Sacramento. My wife and i have been decluttering, and getting rid of things we really don't need in preparation for the move. Because of...

I got the cabinet last week and the Aguilar th500 on monday. Great little rig! Can't believe how loud and small the One10 is. 7kg/14lb and the th500 4lb. Super light and compact rig. I actually ordered another ONE10 as well this week:) Not gig tested yet, but I actually think just one ONE10 and...

Despite my other thread about how horrible the gig was, I got my first chance to try out my ultralight rig. One small Anvil flightcase fits the Traynor Smallblock 500 head, my reduced pedalboard (Wampler Ego comp, TC chorus, Peterson tuner, and wireless receiver), cords, tools, transmitter, and...

First time out for the whole setup. Sounding pretty cool.

Looking for honest opinions. I'm getting my bass out and getting back into playing after taking about a four year break. Back then I found I then needed and wanted the money more so I sold all my amps and cabs, I know I know. Now, not surely knowing what the future holds as far as any possible...

So, long story short I worked a trade to downsize my rig over from a MPulse 600 with a Powerhouse 1000 cab to a Big Block 750 with a OBC 410 (4 x 10) cab. I used to use the huge & round setting on my MPulse and really liked it. I'm much more of a rhythm/pocket style bassist as opposed to a...

I assembled this rig and I love it. It is all used. I purchased the Ampeg SVT AV from the TB classifieds. The cabs are used Ampeg 410 HEs. One came from Reverb and the other I ordered off the GC website. The grill cloth covers were made for me and I ordered them from fliptops.net. I may put the...

Looking to buy an new setup Had a Gallien Krueger 400RB III 2x10 Combo that I bought used on musician's friend about 10 years back finally die on me I have an Ibanez Soundgear gio that eats up 9 volt batteries too often but not opposed to active pickups Looking to get a solid bass and amp - not...

When SLM bought Ampeg from MTI in 1986, they got a couple of trailers full of parts. They had zero stock to sell. In desperation, they hastily made a few bass amps out of parts from the production of the MTI-era V5 guitar amp. They changed the pre-amp and had face plates made that read...

I'm considering a gear overhaul but have many decisions to make. First, I've narrowed it down to a GK MB800 or MBFusion800 or the Mesa D800. Pretty much can't go wrong with any of those heads. As far as cabs, I'm thinking either the CX or the Subway series. I like the idea of getting a 210 and a...

Hey I have a question to y'all pros out there. I've been playing bass for only a year so I dont know much about rigs. As of know I have an Ampeg vr micro head and the 200wcabinet that goes along with it, the amp sounds so shabby and not tight. But I found this used 1990 svt pro 3 in my local...

Shaw B150 along with a 115 cabinet. Beautiful sounding! I played one at Kevin's shop through an Ampeg 810 about a year and a half ago, and I have been gassing ever since. With the 115, it sounds like a b15 with 100 + more watts. If you should ever get the chance to play a B150, don't pass it...

As recently alluded to on TB, I decided to re-begin the bass after my first try in my early 20's, in the mid 80's. As many do, I looked at local music stores, online music stores, eBay, craigslist, local pawn shops....After the initial overwhelming number of choices, and decisions, it came down...

Currently what I am looking to get is a starting rack set up and cab, My Budget is $1250 Amp/Pedal: Peavey Tour 700 Head $300 Tech 21 Sansamp RBI Bass Preamp $275 Mark Bass Compressore $115 I'm looking at cabs currently, Feel fairly confident with the amps I have looked at. I play Thrash and...

Well after reading some stuff and decided to finally play live, I decided to go with this little rig for live shows. This is the 4x10 with the tone hammer 500 Excited to try it out, I hope this is enough to fill the room. This is my first real big bass amp and hope it sounds good with my...

This just arrived by my door today! The new TX600 and two Hartke Hydrive 112 Cabs. Running them at 8ohm each. The Hartke cabs are great! The switchable impedance is a great feature. First impressions: The TX is super clean, and has a lot of nice snap to it. It weighs nothing! One thing I did...

Actually had it for two days but...... Mesa Subway D 800 Two GK CX 210's... Loving it!:thumbsup:

after months of saving, hours at music shops, and countless hours research through TB and other online sites/forums I finally upgraded my rig. Ampeg SVT-7 Pro with two Ashdown ABM 408 Neo cabs. I haven't fully unleashed this beast yet (that'll happen at practice on Monday) but so far I...

Hey guys, I've saved up about $450 and I'm looking for a reliable, lightweight, and powerful rig. Im just not sure on what to get yet. I have a GK backline 112 but it is starting to die out on me and is heavier than Metallica.

Bugera Veyron M and a GK CX115. It weighs about 100lbs. less than my old setup. Lots of experimentation to come but so far it's pretty cool.

GK 1001rb mark ii, GK neo 410 8ohms. This thing sounds incredible man. So much tone control so much power. Im in love
