Got the point Dave, wished you had kept your old Ampeg thingy, same with me, wish I had kept my V8 but then I would still be paying either a lot of money to the back doctor or the pair of roadies!
However, me thinks I would look bloody stupid turning up to the Dog and Bacon with a 8 x 10 and an SVT, in the same way that I would look pathetic standing on the monster stage with a Kickback 12!
And that is why there are so many different setups, some for looks, some for sound, some for weight and some for people who have more money than sense!
Current rigs are
Trace 1 x 15 Combo with 2 x 10 cab
Orange Terror 500 with Epi 4 x 10 and Epi 1 x15
Line 6 Lowdown 15
Kickback 12
And a Mark Bass thing that I don't like much and if someone wants to buy it let me know, think its a 501 head, or it may be a 503.
Tried SVT, not my cup of tea, Loved my V8, now got something for any day of the week depending on where I am playing so for me there is no such thing as a perfect rig and I think it is the same for most people which is why the 2nd hand market is so rich with choice.
By the way bet your glad that you poped in and shared your thoughts with us!
