I'm running an SWR 550X through, 2 Fender Pro 115's.

The cabs are great and the adjustable horn makes them alot more versatile and dynamic as far as 15's go. I love the sound of a P pumped through Fender 15's.

The head just blows me away. It's the closest I've ever heard a hybrid head come to duplicating the tone of my old '74 Bassman 100. (minus the subtle nuances of full tube performance). Best DI I've ever heard. My P's sound like a million bucks through them.


All in all, I've got my dream rig right now. Perfect blend of tone, power, features and dependablity.

Backline 210 with extra cabinet, 2 more 10's. Yeah I know but, I bought as sonn as i had the cash and got a great deal, $350.00 brand new at a small music store. It does have some nicer features like the direct out. Using a Digitech processor helps but the darn thing is sooo noisy.

Hartke Transient Attack 5000 head witha KMD 2/8 1/15 cab. I love the 15 which is very punchy and very low, and the 2 8"ers are very nice for highs, no mids, I should've gotten 4/10 that goes with it. Now I can't even get KMD cabs anymore :(

The basses are: '87 Power Jazz Bass Special, '05 Ibanez BTB 450, '97 Fender Accoustic Bass, and coming soon - '07 Squier 70's Vintage Modified.

2 fender MIA p-basses and an MIA j-bass are all run through an SWR workingman's 2001 head and an SWR 4-10 cab with tweeter, it may be a goliath II ??? it holds up in any situation.
for smaller gigs/recording when needed I use an SWR Workingman's 15 -- which has tone like buttah!
it's all only for stage monitor anyway -- I use my DI line out to go to the house pa.
luv to all, bill

An Ashdown ABM 300 C 210 combo. Never liked 2x10 combo's before, but this one has incredible tone and the best low end I ever heard at a 2x10!

I have a 73 P bass, natural ash body with black pg. My main gigging bass
is a custom built P/j bass made from an all parts body, mighty mite neck,
Gotoh bridge, Ping tuners, and MIA Fender P and J pickups. The body is
vintage white with black pg. I also have my hard rockin P bass. It's a
MIM, Agave blue with a black pg (very cool looking, Steve Harris would
be proud). It has a Maple neck and fingerboard, like my other 2. I'm
partial to maple fingerboards. The maple neck is off a MIM P bass special.
I sold the rosewood neck on Ebay and purchased the maple neck on Ebay.
I put SD Quarter Pounders in this bass and a no name heavy duty bridge
on it. This bass has loads of output.
For amps I use a 1992 Ampeg SVT 3. For cabs I either use a bassman
4x10 or 76 Acoustic 2x15.

I have two fender basses. I have a Mexi jazz that I will be putting custom shop pickups in, and I have a Precision Bass Lyte from about 93-94. The only amps that I will play are Ampegs (sorry Fender guys) I have an SVT-3 Pro with an SVT 4X10 HLF cab, and I have an Ampeg BA-115 for at home practice. My fenders mixed with the Ampegs equals total distruction. I get great rich tones that I can't get with any other bass and amp. Out of all six of my basses my Fenders get the most play time. I even play them over my Warwick!!!!! But as my quote says

Miketallica315 :twisted: [/quote]

A MIA 1990 Black Jazz bass, sans pickguard with original everything else. Gonna drop some nice Franklin J bass PUs in there with new pots et al soon and use the american electronics on a fretless p/jazz bass project.

Amp is a Laney RB4 160W.

I like it and I doubt I'll be changing much after the fretless project.
