Glen,
Do you have any pics of your rig?

Hi,
Here's my B-25, made in 1969, still in stock condition,
And my Avatar 4x12 with Eminence Kappa Pro's, cabinet was originally made sealed, I calculated the venting for it and added vents on the underside, it sits on Casters so the vents work great.

Very Nice!
I had my Peavey 412-TFX(w/MAX) for ~8 years.
I loved the 4-12 for my Bass.
I gave up my Peavey Rig and my '74 Walnut 4001 for my B-15R!

Ouch ...
Nice collection.
I love the sound via the 4x12 which is what I grew up on, those and 4x15's ... not much call for a rig that has one of each, or in my insane days, 2 of each, and a couple custom Orange 200w valve amps.
The B-15R with the second cabinet would be ideal now.

I apologize for the wonton photo flashing but I've got to say something and it might as well be to you guys.
I love my Alembic, but I keep finding myself wishing I had an equally stunning Rickenbacker standing next to my '72 FireGlo 4001.
Makes me wonder what's wrong with me!

One really crazy thought I've had lately is "a Second B-15R Stack"!
That's for those who say 100watts and 2-15's still won't cut it!

For the Ric-o-sound, Garret!!

I run Ric-o-sound into the Ampeg, twin channels and I can tailor the tones for each pickup, then use the switch in the mid position, it's like choirs of Angels to my ears ...

I've been using ROS lately with my 2 Ampegs and to bump it up a tad try a judicious amount of chorus on the bridge pup side!

I sometimes run one b2 as a slave to the first b2 ... the first one through 4 10s and the second one through 2 15s ... with that much power it really fills the room with sound ...

nice to see such a portable one to carry to gigs. Just kidding, looks like it could blow down a wall. How's the sound of that rig?

That rig may be able to find the elusive "brown note" they were looking for on "Mythbusters!"

I've already found it! Quite deafening actually.
This rig will squeeze the best sound from any bass guitar. It's very "clean"
