I've got a slightly less hi-fi set up, along the lines of: Sennheiser Freeport Wireless Gemini Power Conditioner (with funky rack lights, oh yeeeah!) Korg DTR-1000 Tuner Ampeg SVT3-Pro It's simple, but it does the job!! Oh, and it's bloody full of cable ties.... I like a nice tidy rack, I do! Quote

mr pablo Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 my rack consits of 2u dha vt5 pre amp and 2u peavey PV1500 power amp, again I'll post some pics 2morow when the power amp arrives Quote
GremlinAndy Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Lol it makes me chortle that the pics seem so important especially since there are stock photos of the gear much prettier than I can snap in my home... Is it that we like the "hot amature action" shots? Maybe you're fans of "Gonzo" Gear? I hope to God that no-one is actually using bass gear for mastabatory purposes! Because it chafes like hell, let me tell you! So take my advice and save yourself the pain. Quote
Jamesemt Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Being a beginner to rack gear, it would help me know how everything is setup. Hence this thread Edited March 2, 2008 by Jamesemt Quote

Hence this thread [/quote] OK OK ...Pics coming as soon as my son comes with the camera. [quote name='mikeh' post='149754' date='Mar 2 2008, 11:13 AM']Im now using this, much better [/quote] Nice! Elegant solution. That's the problem with mine now... It's already an ungainly 6u and I'm struggling to stop it from growing. There's a lot to be said for the "simple" uncomplicated solution. That's the trouble with rack gear. There's always one more piece you could slot in it. Quote
BassBalls Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Here is mine, nothing that elaborate...Let the abuse of the compressor begin! [attachment=6141:DSCF0044.JPG] Going to get rid of the wireless though because i realized that i dont more around very much when i play!!! Going to hopefully replace it with a tuner. Quote

I wish it was mine. Quote
paul_5 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Sorry to be a pedant, but "what is understood doesn't need to be discussed". That sir, is a superb rack. End of. (/misogyny) Quote

[attachment=6141:DSCF0044.JPG][/quote] I remember when those Compressors came out in the 90's, can't remember who it was who made them though. I suspect you need those sunglasses on the couch when looking at that rack on a brightly lit stage. Quote
Rich Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Nothing much in the way of FX in my rack these days, apart from the Funk-Logic Dynamicator [attachment=69516:rig3.jpg] Quote
StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Right now my rig is pretty simple Sennheiser FREEPort wireless (£50 to anyone who wants it) Trace Elliot GP12SMX amplifier Korg DTR2000 rack tuner all of this in a nice 4u abs rack case which I need to ship off as I am getting a few new units soon. As on the start of next month my set up will be: Korg DTR2000 Trace Elliot GP12 SMX Aphex Aural Exciter (on it's way to me) Behringer T1965 Compressor (being held for me) Some sort of graphic equaliser (not yet decided) New wireless system (not yet decided) But for now, here's a pic of the current rig: [attachment=69517:IMG_2543__2_.jpg] Nom nom nom Quote
paul_5 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 LH1000 and dBx 1066 compressor. Occasionally an MXR 124 graphic EQ, but i've been on a gear diet lately due to a touch of sciatica. Quote
