jimbartlett Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi guys, I've pretty much finished my rig now and I am very happy with it, I hope you like the picture. The Bass shown is my Gibson Thunderbird, the cabs are 2*10, 1*15 and 6*10. Thanks, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I never got on with the 400+ but those cabs are fantastic. this is the rig I used for nearly 10 years, until my back and knees gave up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Now that’s what I call a [b]proper[/b] bass rig. Gibson + MESA = Rock n’ roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbartlett Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks for the word guys. It takes a bit of effort to move it around but once you get the knack of getting it in and out of the van/car, it's not too bad. The volume isn't a problem (believe it or not! ), in the rehearsal room I have the master on about 1 1/2, gigs at about 2 1/2 - 3. The value overdrive tone I can get out of the 400+ is (in my opinion) better than any overdrive pedal I have owned. This rig for me is all in the tone, I love it! I think I might have to start calling it "cloverfield"! Ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Here's my rig in its' transitional stage. I no longer have the 2x15 cab, but boy do I miss it's sound! I DO NOT, however, miss humping it in and out of cars/vans/venues though I now also have a Mesa Diesel Roadready 1x15 cab for the 4x10 to pair up with, but no new photo's yet. Cheers, JTB.

jimbartlett Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Nice JTB, VERY nice! I know I can talk but, that 2*15 looks like it is the heaviest thing since heavy things were invented! I bet it sounded awesome though. Edward, the Probot album is superb isn't it?!

Edward, the Probot album is superb isn't it?![/quote] It was like being a furniture removal man! My only problem with it for gigs, etc was that it wasn't very loud close up to the cab. It had about a 6 to 8 feet envelope in front of it that meant for me to turn the amp up loud enough to hear against the drums and guitars meant I was disemboweling the audience The crunch was when we played at the Cartoon in Croydon and a couple of the Girls were at the back of the venue and in line with my rig. They said it made them feel sick 'cos it was so loud. I also really dig the Probot album particularly the Centuries Of Sin & Shake Your Blood songs.

Edward, the Probot album is superb isn't it?![/quote] It's pretty good stuff, Red War is brilliant that DG can actually play the kick that fast without actually using a double bass drum pedal! Apparently he used a 28" as well on the album. These mesa boogie amps are SOO annoying they make me want to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess i'll just have to become a rockstar eh? I know Jay James uses Mesa boogie bass cabs but i was thinking of MarkBass since they're a lot lighter! Maybe i could get one of those 400+ tube heads though... Edited February 10, 2009 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
