Alembic F1-x with an Alembic SF-2 in the send return loops. The F1-x full range out goes into a QSC PLX2402 stereo power amp with the inputs set to parallel.
For cabs, I have three mesa boogie powerhouse cabs to choose from 2x10, 1x15 and 4x10. Usually it's the 4x10 and 2x10 used individually and when paired the 1x15 is added to either of the other two. I don't play loud and that setup gives me a good clean powerful and dynamic sound at low to moderate volumes.

I don't gig these days so the set up below isn't performance tested.

Bass wise I reach for my self-build first these days. I'm so happy with how it turned out (although the body shape needs a slight tweak to improve the balance). It's very articulate, feels great and is very versatile tonally.

Second to that currently is the Status Series 1 5 string. The Spector NS5CR would normally be no. 2 but it's currently with Mr Shuker getting more customisations.

The Pentabuzz and Stingray are with me for when I'm in the mood for something different. The Alembic Series 1 and Shuker Headless are in storage.

Current signal chain is mostly based around bass synth otherwise I would just have a compressor and nothing else.

First up the EBS Microbass allows two basses to plug in otherwise I wouldn't need it. An Effectrode PC2A compressor sits in the EBS effects loop to fatten things up a little.

The signal then goes into a Panda Future Impact bass synth and then an Empress Parametric 3 band, customised for a notched narrow midrange band to focus the mids. After that the signal goes to a Zoom B3 for delay and pitchshift and then to two GB Shuttle 6 amps.

Each amp shoves 380w at 8 ohm into a fEARless F112. For more volume I could do both cabs at 4 ohm in mono and tap 600w but the current set up is overkill for home use as it is.

Other stuff: Two Burman Pro4000 heads, for vintagey goodness and a Trace Elliot Hexavalve just...because. I still have a couple of lexicon mpxg2 rack multi effects that I'm figuring out what to do with. Will definitely use one at least for guitar although I'm amassing a collection of pedals on that side too. :/

Currently playing my white Epi Thunderbird Classic Pro with a black pickguard, more because it's the same colour as the guitarist's Jackson than anything else. :) Gibson T-birds (one with chrome Chinese eBay pickups) and Epi Blackbird on the subs bench. All on-board controls to max.

Rotosound Rotobass 45-105s, mainly because they don't have silks and therefore I get metal contact on the string saddles.

Boss Compressor-Sustainer.

Green 0.88 turtle picks.

Mid-90s Trace 350W GP7 4x10 combo, with Trace 1x15 extension cab.

Got a wireless system, not plucked up the courage to use it live yet ...

(My rehearsal rig is a Trace 150W GP7 head going through a Trace 1048 and a Peavey 4x10 thing. Also got a Trace AH600-12, which I actually don't like that much.)

Haven't gigged properly for a few years now but I tended to keep things simple preferring old style analogue effects pedals usually just a compressor, flanger, phaser and wah pedal . I've only ever had one speaker, a Marshall 100W combo keyboard amp that I ran both basses and guitars through. Did the job just fine.

Live set-up for my Hard-rock/metal band:

B-tuning bass - Warwick Corvette Active 5-string w/rounds

TC Electronics - Polytune
Dave Hall Amps - VT1 EQ/DI mk2

Warwick Sonic III amp

I do noodle around with other bits for recording or other music contributions but that's the main gear.

A Selmer T n B 50. What a flashback. I had one back in 1980 for guitar. How old is it, how does it cope with gigs, do you have to mic the cab?

The rig sounds great and its very easy to adjust the tone on the fly to suit the on stage mix or an odd room. The 680 has a Jensen transformer on the DI which works really well.

My wee pedal board gives me the ability to go direct without the rig if needed on a small gig or gear share type gigs.
The live rig is great, always enough headroom, clear articulate sound and the basses feel great to play.

I have a small 100w Fender combo for smaller gigs when stage volume doesn't need to be loud and it works a charm as a monitor when using PA support out front.

Sometimes I'll change one bass to rounds depending on what I'm doing with certain bands but live it's 99% flats.
