A couple of gratuitous shots of my modded 2001 LX Streamer Jazzman (MIG), in French violet finish, which I got a couple of years ago on BC purely for a funk / disco / soul band project, but has proved to be the only “modern” bass able to tempt me away from my harem of vintage pre-1980’s lovelies. It was a decent enough bass as stock, but I made a couple of upgrade mods which have massively improved tone and playability: Original MEC pickups changed for Nordstrand Bigman (bridge MM type, with switching for parallel / series / single coil) and Bartolini b-axis (neck Jazz type). The Seymour Duncan active circuit is excellent, but I’m tempted to put an East filter-based one in there. Original ovangol neck swapped for wenge slim jazz-profile neck from my old ‘98 FNA Corvette. Resin JAN2 nut swapped for brass JAN3 nut Blue luminlay side fretboard markers fitted Gold 3-band EQ knobs swapped for cocobolo knobs (intend to do the same with the stacked vol / blend knob)

I’ve got an early (‘91?} Eden VT.40 head that’s been dropped, fallen out of cars, and been abused by support bands “borrowing “ it. Still going strong, and with its Demeter valve preamp gives the loveliest DI tone of any amp I’ve owned. But going back to the letter of the OP (ie SS only and no hybrids) - definitely my Ashdown MK500.

Our sound guy gets really upset if I call them kettle leads - they're Euro leads....... (apparently)

I thought the compact Denon wouldn't have enough guts to drive the dq10's, but it's actually got a surprising amount of grunt. The best and biggest amp I had was a huge 200W RMS receiver from the States (I think it was branded Kenwood - it was Sansui's top end stuff in the US anyway) that really brought the speakers alive. But yes; one of these days maybe something with valves.....

Always wanted to put together a really stonking hi-fi system, but space, funds and wives have generally precluded it. Systems have come and gone; currently a decent-ish Denon DAB / CD receiver and 1980’s JVC linear tracking turntable. However - as with bass, it’s all about the cabs: I bought a pair of Dahlquist dq10 speakers secondhand in around 1980, and those bad boys have been travelling around with me ever since. One pictured with my Streamer bass for scale, but they’re quite shallow front to back. Immense, clear, transparent sound.
