Show us your rig of choice for the weekend ** Basschat edition**

[MattW]

I've been using this little beaut for the last couple of gigs - sounds as good as it looks 😁

 

P.s ignore the input setting - taken before I'd sound checked and it had clearly got knocked!!

Muscle injury has forced me to downsize amp and cabs. This is the rig for Saturday's gig - first time live for the TE cab but it sounded good in rehearsal. We've played there before and the space for the rhythm section is limited, hence the headless.

 

As you can see the TE cab has already sprouted some leaves and I'm hoping for a nice crop of 1" tweeters in the new year. 😀

Here is the rig I used tonight/last night. 
Sounded fantastic (to me!)

Mark Bass LM3 and Barefaced Supertwin.  It’s a sledgehammer to crack a nut for most gigs , but super light. 

[Beedster]

This is really cheeky because it's not my rig, yet..........

 

I had the same cab with a 400+ about 10 years back. I do about two gigs per year on electric, but if you're gonna gig electric, bring out the big guns I say

Here’s mine

Had the same rig and I concur

Here's my rig! Duo gig in a village pub marquee. Could have managed without the Rumble 100 combo but

I like to have it there just in case it starts to get a bit lairy volume wise...😅

Haven’t gigged at all during August and enjoyed the time off. Starting back next weekend with my usual rig -  a Markbass LM3, 102P Traveller and STD102HF cabs (both 8ohms) but a couple of basses (sometimes swap the P for my Mustang). 
 

Its a good enough sounding rig for what I use, and modular enough to fit in a Ford Fiesta.

Not the clearest of pictures but this was the rig / office for last Saturday in Aberdeen with my band Reloaded.

I have to take the Little Mark out of it bag when I gig.   Although the bass drowns it out, my OCD can’t deal with that zip rattling.

I’ve been in Covid isolation , but expect to be back in the saddle this weekend . Regular gig in my favourite dive , not a loud band but not in the PA so I need to fill the room .

I’ll probably run the Forte with a single HDN112 .

Stack it up the tall way with all the drivers in a single column and be prepared for a nice surprise.

Aha now I tried that (I’ve also got a second STD102HF to stack them together). I couldn’t decide if it was any better tho!
 

I prefer mixing the Traveller cab (raucous and punchy) with the standard cab (smoother and more mellow) as the combination of sounds works well for me.

How do you find the bergantino gear? Would quite like to try some one day.

[msb]

I’ve never been happier. Got the cabs first , and then decided I should try the amp. 

[SuperSeagull]

I’ll be using this tomorrow although the Status is back at the mothership in Colchester getting some tlc so will be paired with a Flea jazz.

This was the cause of tinnitus in Reigate on Friday:

 

 

(and yes, I know I need to sort matching grilles!)

[BigRedX]

Here's mine from last night's Hurtsfall gig:

 

Line 6 Helix straight into the PA via an EMO passive DI box. No amps on stage made for a much more balanced band sound and no problems with drowning out the vocals. My RCF cab is now reserved solely for rehearsals with In Isolation, and large stages with minimalist foldback.

[casapete]

Here's mine from last night's festival gig. 96 Precision Lyte into a Sansamp (for DI purposes only!), then GK1001RB into a GK Neo410 cab.

Gigs like this make me realise why I use a set up with headroom - ran it quite loud last night

and really enjoyed the onstage sound.

 

(Just realised that's our violinist's knee behind my cab!)

Now that the weekend’s over it’s back to the practice rig . I have two , this little GK MB200 and a PhilJones C2 is a wonderful low volume solution. The MB 200 recently sported the “pink ring of doom” and was fixed by an authorized repair tech. Well worth the repair!

[msb]

And the second practice rig is an SWR Headlite into an Ampeg 210AV cab, although I’ve been looking at the mini Trace Elliot eight and ten inch cabs …

Try walking out into the room and listening.  A vertical 4x10 is how I stack my amplifier too.

 

[stereoplayer]

I’ve had this LED VU meter around the house for a very long time.  I added it to my mini stereo bass rig for an extra little bling.
