chrismuzz Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If it absolutely had to be a combo, it would be the Markbass CMD102P. The best sounding and loudest one hand lift I've ever personally used. I'd have to keep my pedals though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If money's no object I'd be doing a ton of research so I'd be off to loads of factories to test what's available and what's in development - just how good is the new Mesa?? What have TE got in the pipeline? Just how good are the old Acoustic amps? I'm currently using a Mesa Walkabout through a Vanderkley 112MNT and TBH it doesn't sound as good as the Mesas that I tried way back when..I could quite easily be persuaded to try another EBS which exceeded my expectations when I had a HD350 - really shouldn't have let it go..but that's another thread in itself.

MacDaddy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 There have been periods of my life where money was no object and I was able to buy what I wanted. But the only answer to the OP is: The next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubis Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 An Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, and then whatever would fit in the boot, probably a PJB Briefcase or an Amplug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 First time in my life I can genuinely say without even so much as a tiny niggle, I am totally satisfied with every piece of gear I own. i will never buy another amp again. But if we are playing with house money, I'd line up a couple of old Ampeg B-15's. Even one of the late 90's/early 2000's B-15rs would be sweet.

Merton Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If money were no object I'd buy an awful lot of gear to have in a big soundproofed bass room, so I could pick and choose a different rig for each gig depending on my mood. It would end GAS and almost certainly result in some gigs being terrible as I struggle to get to grips with a certain amp or cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The main thing would be a roadie or 2 so I didn't have to limit my amp choices by weight. Then I'd have a nice selection of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 What I use is what I want. Beside that, I'd get my hands on a silverface Bassman 50 and 2x15, just to use at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Money no object... Either an AxeFx or Kemper running into two Barefaced FR800's & 2 Barefaced LF800's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm primarily an inears user - so the thought of having a super capable preamp was ideal. Didn't pan out that way. But will stress, really exceptional recording tools - just still not sold on the live use, especially for bass. I know there are people that do it... but again, their sounds tend to do nothing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
