Ampeg SVP-Pro preamp
Ashly FET-2000M (500x2)
Mesa Boogie Diesel 2x10 (fed 500 watts)
Mesa Boogie Diesel 1x15 (x2) (pair fed 500 watts)

It's not the most recent pic (no longer own the Tuxedo)....

Nope....you are taller. It is "only" my height of 6'2".

I own a Jetglo, but those MG's are attractive!

Hey Chris,
Turn down, I can hear you all the way over here!

Don't ever stand in front of Brian's rig, Jeff. That Mesa Boogie 2x10 will liquefy your brain!

Roland DB700 dressed up like Vox Foundation. Fools 'em every time. 250watts, 1-15 w/horn, modelling, programmable pre-amp w/two presets(one for Hofner, one for Ric).
Weighs a tone but I don't have to carry thank God. Had it about 3 years now, love it.

I currently use my Rick-O-Sound through a 400w Peavey Standard and 2X15 cab for the low end with a SansAmp preamp to a Fender Bassman 200 1X15 & horn for the highs. Sorta gets that Geddy tone and can get the Paul Goddard sound too. But mostly gets MY tone...

Behringer 3000 head with 2 single 15 cabinets, one is an older SWR workingmans and the other a no name I loaded with a Black Widow. Absolutely nails the '70's lows and hi clank I've been searching for.

I also have the Behringer 300 W head...not that thrilled with it, but the price point is good. Recently got a small Trace Elliot, and I am planning to use that as a pre-amp. I have a 2x10 Carvin cabinet.

Wow, lots of great rigs out there.
I have 2 different rigs - one large, one small:
1. Ashly SC-40 preamp into a 300 watt Tubeworks amp, and an old Sunn 215S cabinet.
2. Music Man HD-130 head into a Music Man 115RH cabinet.

On the left is a Mesa M-Pulse 600W 2x10 Combo
On the right is a Mesa Walk About 300W head with a Powerhouse 2x10 Cab.
Not shown is a Mesa 1x12 cab.

Ashdown ABM 300 Evo Head coupled with an ABM 2x10. I also sometimes run a Peavey Nitrobass head coupled to a Trace Elliot 2x10 for gigs where I need more power. 90% of the time the small Ashdown rig suffices but when I use both, I rig the Ashdown pair for the bottom end and the Peavey + TE for the high end. Sounds great but more of a lug at gigs.

Currently I'm using a Trace Elliot 150W BLX-SMC Combo with one 10 and a tweeter. If I need to push more air I use it with my Mesa 4X10 cab. I also have the Mesa 400+ head to go with the cab.

Since getting my first 4001 in 1972, I've used an Ampeg B-15, Peavey "Bass" w/ 2X15, an Acoustic head with the B-15 cab, GK 800-RB with 2X12 and 1X18, and the Mesa 400+...

I got the Trace because my back can't handle lugging those big amps anymore!

Some nice looking rigs on this board!

Early 70's SVT's and 8x10's for me. I have three heads and three cabs.
