An old Marshall 100w valve head (single channel), running into either one, or two Marshall 4x12's.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

4003's through a Sansamp RBI into a GK700RB head through a Carvin RL210. Occasional chorus.

Im thinking of another Sansamp RBI so I can have one set up for my non-Rick basses, then switch between the two.

I knew you were going to like that RBI Scott, it makes all the difference for me and my "engine", very tweakable....

330 through a Tonelab SE (recent aquisition to replace my Digitech RP-6) to a Roland JC-55.
I must say that I am liking the tube in the SE.

At home or for gigs where I don't feel like breaking my back, I play through an Ashdown MAG 300C 1 * 15.

My big rig consists of a BBE BMax preamp, QSC RMX 2450 power amp, & a Basson 4 * 10 cab.

Ernie Ball volume pedal & a Digitech bass chorus pedal with either.

Blackface mod mv Silverface twin with jbl k-120s, with cs-3 and ce-1 for 6 string 330. sans le ce-1 for 12 string 360.

marshall silver jubilee into marshall 2x12 with ts-9/fuzzface/bf-2 for 6 string 620 but primarily this setup is for my 60s country gent a la John Squire. My 620 s not getting a lot of use these days.

Here's mine:
1981 JG 4080
1977 WHT 4001
1976 FG 4000
Peavey Millenium BXP 5 string
Bass: SWR Workingman's 2004 (200W)
SWR 4X10T cab
Peavey 2X10 cab
Guitar: Peavey Delta Blues 210
Effects: Diamond Fireburst overdrive
Keeley Compressor
1980's DOD Performer 575-A Flanger
Boss CE-3 chorus
Boss DD-3 digital delay
Empress Effects A/B/Y splitter
ROS kit
Korg DTR 1000 rackmount tuner

Nothing fancy or expensive, but pretty much all I need.
I would like to have another amp to run ROS, but it might be more hassle live than it's worth (soundman isn't Rick friendly, but that's too bad for him, because that's all I'm going to play!).

I use a Peavey 212 Stereo Chorus for my 6 string guitars. This is the best sounding amp that I have ever owned.

Fender Twin Reverb (Silverface modified to Blackface) for my 12 string.

Roland Cube 60 for my basses. (recording use only) and;

a vintage Sunn Model T with 610 bottom for guitar and occasionally the Model T head for bass using a 212 cabinet.

Stan there definitely is a guitar in my circuit. Image

Outboard effects are used very sparingly if at all.
