Show us your rig of choice for the weekend ** Basschat edition**

This was out tonight at TTT Motorcycle Sudbury…!

 

 

of course, sound man spilled a mug of coffee over my new pedals (all except Polytune arrived this week for my bday). Dried them in a rush and they all seem to be working, but man, what the ffffffflip…!?!?!

 

Will not play them for a couple days and pray they still work as they did, happy to hear any tips just in case 😢

Tip.. go round the sound man's place and say that'll be (insert total cost price of new pedals) please... 

Don't forget to be holding "Lucille" style baseball bat over shoulder when you knock for him... 

[PaulThePlug]

I'd take the lids, backs off if ya can... give em a proper airing and look-see inside... maybe a blast with some of that air in a can, used for cleaning computer keyboards... poundland etc.

Just got in from a gig, and this has pretty much been my rig for the last year now- can’t see me changing . 
Bit of a quick naff photo mind

Nice! What’s on your board ?

Got the EAE Longsword, Model Fet and Jad Freer Capo. Also using the Hyper Luminal and a Thumpinator on there.

 

Lots of grit options but a bit overkill 😂

I'm not a fan of the usual dingwall body shapes but the Super P is great.

Second gig for the Stealth Bongo, and probably 50+ gig for the Mesa Subway D800+ amp and Subway cabs. Love the rig, and really loving the Bongo, which kinda surprised me. I had one before, and we didn’t gel, but boy have I gelled with this one.

 

None more black, eh?

Ashdown Studio 15 is great for my 72 year old back and legs!

My rig from last night , photo from home. Lightweight , a ton of headroom , and thick warm tone. Berg HDN 210, Forte amp and Monique preamp.

[Chimike]

La Monique, c’est magnifique!

[msb]

Monique does not disappoint. The Berg is a very clean, modern , transparent , hifi amp , Monique turns that into a thick , warm , old school tube thump. And doesn’t weigh ninety five pounds. The Forte provides some serious slam. 

I’m a believer.

I think the VBA400 is about 40kg alone, that sounds like bliss!

Hoping to use this rig at the weekend. It's the Harry D special named after its only previous owner. Harry bought it as an 1115 combo in 1985 and at some point in the nineties chopped the head off to make it a head and cab. The pre amp is an AH150 GP11 MK V and the amp section is an AH150 4 x mosfet air cooled power section. The cab has its original 38 year old Fane Sovereign 15-250w cast frame driver and even now sounds phenomonal. I recently posted this cab on a thread and tried using port tubes to change the cab tuning but in real world testing it sounded its best with the orignal TE tuning. The whole shee-bang was recovered and refurbished in a fetching alligator tolex from the eighties I'd bought years ago from a disco supplies web shop. It's fairly unique in that its a combo chopped into a cab and head but it sounds awesome and has that TE sound anyone whos ever used old school TE stuff will recognize. 38 years and still going strong. I had to consider if bass-chatters will be posting 38 years and still going strong about their boutique class D heads in years to come? Hmm I would suspect not!🙃

I can confirm they work perfectly, opened them and no issue whatsoever so I must be lucky - also they must show the quality of sealing around knobs etc… they were dripping!

 

… and plus now I have the nicest scented pedals in the business!!

Is that a GR Bass carbon 212 cab? How do you like it?

At212 slim. It's the dog's danglies. Loud, clear and faithful to what you play into it, no strong colouration.

Those little MB200s are great little amps. I was using one at home for practice and the fan stopped working. I didn’t realize it at the time , the Ice power module had a meltdown and the pink ring of doom appeared.

I looked around for a replacement and decided it really was the perfect little rig for my requirements at the time , so I was going to try and get it fixed , or replace it with another if that did not work out. Some say that you just throw out mini Class D heads when they break down … I used a qualified repair person, and today the amp works perfectly. 
And I like to hear fans working…

Posted this in the Ashdown ABM owners thread but it’s worthy of posting here too. My rig this weekend, Ashdown ABM 400 Neo 1x15 combo, with Ashdown 1x15 Neo cab. Together for the southern rock band, the combo on its own for the Country/Americana band. Fretted, fretless and NS NXT EUB.

I’m back to the practice rig for several days , much of the time will be using headphones and the little Hotone amp , but this morning for a change fired up the HeadLite. It’s not a bad little head , sounds fine at low volume with the little PhilJones C2. Spending a surprising amount of time playing the HiFlier.
