waynepunkdude Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Basses: Stu Hamm Urge, MM Stingray & Sadowsky NY Amps: SVT 5 (got one ) SVT 2 & 400+ (hopfully in 6 months) Cabs: Tech Soundsystems 612 Effects: Sansamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Basses: MM stingray 5 string black + gold, Peavey Cirrus 6 string flame maple in a bitchin' colour like green or something and an ESP 4 string bass. Amps: it would have to be an SWR 1500 and Mesa boogie 400+ valve amp as well depending on what mood i'm in Cabs: SWR 8x10s and maybe that big bertha 2x18 that they used to make just for the fun of it! FX: Some boutique valve distortion that sounds amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobiebass Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 My Shuker, similer shuker with MMJ pickups with blue flamed top, Bongo 4H with a ray neck (or unpainted neck like a ray) im happy with my rig. Ampeg SVT3 pro - 610hlf cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm not in a band right now, so I'll decide the amps and cabs when I win the lottery. They'd most likely be GK, though. For basses, I'd hunt down another Ibanez SR1205 and also get a custom one made. No idea what to do with the third choice. I suppose I'm fairly happy with my gear. I'd like a band more than a new toy!

TDM Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Basses: Sadowsky Modern 5 string, Bongo 5HH in White, my Green Spector but with higher grade quilted maple wings. Either that or I'd have a few Ritters because they're worth the most. But that's like asking a genie for unlimited wishes isn't it? Amps: Old SVT, Mesa 400+, Warwick Hellborg preamp+poweramp Cabs: That huge Ampeg from NAMM (I'd like to see unlimited roadies manage with that one!), The biggest Mesa cab I can find to go with the 400+, Matching Warwick cabs to go with the Hellborg Effects: REDDI, a nice compressor and a Boss GT10B/Pod X3 live (Because I'm simple like that ) Edited August 15, 2009 by thedonutman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIJ because i'd be worried about damaging a MIA one, and i dont think theyre worth the extra money at all, even though you said moneys no object.

SteveO Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 In all seriousness, My JV precision, a jazz (?) that's as good as the precision (not too bothered about brand, as long as it feels & sounds as good and has single coil pups) A double bass that's not cheap and nasty. One like the house bass in the Jazz cafe in Oslo. Don't know the make as there's no marks anywhere. Amp wise... can I have an SVT pro IV and a Little Mark III please. Cabs... Once I've finished building these BFM's I should be sorted thanks all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Well, if money were no object I'd just keep buying basses and gear! I guess I'll just list what comes to mind first. Fodera Imperial 6 Fretted Ken Lawrence Brase 6 Fretless Sadowsky NY PJ 4 A couple of sweet uprights too and some good bows, with some nice pups and maybe a nice mic too. An EUB. Ampwise, I'd go for my current rig --> Markbass Little Mark II and Aguilar GS410. Some sweet little cab as well for smaller gigs, not sure what. A couple of nice DI's, maybe a radial one.

lee4 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Basses;a copy of my Status Groove,a P-bass special,a headless Steinberger cricket bat type thing. Amps;heads by Markbass,cabs by Zoot,but about 800w. Other gear;a Guiness roadie,a driver a Bentley,and a curry chef on 24 hour callout.

iamapirate Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 erm, has no one mentioned the original P or J? Surely that would be worth having! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 BASSES: I'm happy with what I've got now, so, Warwick Thumb BO 4 and my impending Shuker Custom AMPS: Warwick Jonas Hellborg CABS: Warwick Jonas Hellborg Money would have to be absolutely no object to get that backline!

BB3000S Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 If money were no object I'd quit my job to give me more time to play the ones I have. [b]Basses[/b] Two really great vintage Fenders, P&J Masterbuilt Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Status S2 Classic Status Kingbass Black Beauty Status Kingbass Retroglide + a couple of 80's Statii F-Bass BN5 F-Bass Alain Caron Pedulla Buzz the list goes on forever... [b] Rig-wise [/b]I'd probably go with Aguilar DB751 + a bunch of Aggie cabs (DB-810, DB-210+115, GS-212x2, GS-112x2) and to see what the fuzz is all about the Hellborg stuff from Warwick.

4000 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) My '72 Ric, another exactly the same and a Series 2 Alembic built to my spec that weighed under 9lbs (preferably under 8); it would've been a Triple Omega but having had one it wasn't manageable weightwise. Amps; hmmm, not sure. One of the original Trace 8x10 250w combos, an EBS TD650 with matching cabs, and possibly an early Marshall Superbass with some decent 15" or poss 4x10 cabinets ( a couple of Compacts might do).

WarPig Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Basses: 75' Fender Jazz, Natural with Maple neck and black blocks. Warwick thumb fretless 6 NT Les Claypools 4 string CT with trem.

Tusknia Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Pino Palladino Custom Shop but strung with Rounds. And a Macca Rickenbacker for backup. Bi-amp: Aguilar DB751 --> Aguilar DB810. Mesa/Boogie 400+ --> Aguilar DB412. My Board would consist of every MXR bass pedal, a cryababy and a tuner.

MythSte Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Ooft, This could be fun... I'd probably do it in sets, Set 1, 60's Sunburst P -> Aguilar DB750 -> DB410 Set 2, Sadowsky NYC Jazz -> Mesa 400+ -> Bergantino 610 Set 3, Ritter -> Thunderfunk 550 -> 2x EA whizzy 12's Set 4, MM Bongo -> GK1001RBII -> 2x Schroeder 1212 Wow, this could go on forever...

Noisyjon Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Like your style Ste! I'm also surprised at the lack of old Fenders cropping up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Basses: Fretted and fretless 5 strings- today I'll go for ACG single cuts I think- and a 7 string- probably a Conklin custom. All strung with Elixirs and with 13 pin outputs. If I can stretch slightly and go for a fourth, I'll have a nice handmade 5 string double bass, and if five isn't excessive, an EUB to match. Amps: Not so fussy here. A light powerful power amp (since money's no object, I'll have a Powersoft please). A Pod X3 Pro (if the roadies are carrying it) or Live (if I'm carrying it) to act as a preamp. Cabs: Again, light and powerful. Probably BFM designed, two 1x10s and a 2x10 so I could take 1, 2, 3 or 4 10"s as required. Or maybe one of Alex Claber's Barefaced cabs. FX: Eventide Eclipse and a Roland V-Bass- together with the Pod X3 from amps, I doubt there's many sounds you couldn't replicate with this. It will be all change in a day ot two though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
