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

[msb]

The Hotone has a mini Aux In so you can plug in a tablet , and headphones … and practice without disturbing anybody. It’s a good practice rig , I don’t use it to drive speakers. 
I spend a lot of time using phones and the Hotone.

I used the back line stuff for my stereo rig.  It actually sounded very good!

Band not gigging at present due to band member health issues and rehearshals are also infrequent. The opportunity for some rehearshal studio shake down time was too good to pass up today. If I was gigging this weekend, I'd be using this lot of bass noise making stuff.

Rig for yesterday's Coronation gig at a pub in High Wycombe.  Gallien Kruger Legacy 800 into a Barefaced Super Compact.

Nice rig, although I think I’d have trouble with the (presumably guitarist’s) Vox combo

at head height? 🤨

It wasn't ideal; our singer/guitarist got there first.  The placing of the PA was worse though and when I wasn't on BV duties I shifted over to the left of it all.  I could hear myself but not very well, though listening to videos of the gig the sound was ok for the audience.  We were supposed to be playing in the garden but the weather put paid to that.

Once while playing a gig at Toronto's Ontario Place we had to stack the keyboard players' 4x12 on top my twin 15. There were times when I felt dizzy and nauseous. We never did that again!!  Sadly my hearing was never the same again!

Overkill for a pub 😃

Looks spot on to me !!

My Sterio Rig for my Rickenbackers. 2 Markbass 410HLF Mk1 cabs, Ampeg SVT4 Pro amp. Hartke 5000 amp. Korg tuner.

[BassmanPaul]

@Merton Why would you consider this overkill?  I stack my Acme B2 2x10s in the exact same way. There's safety in numbers and the two cabs take up the exact same stage space as one. You can hear yourself better 'cos the upper cabinet is closer to your ears. Add to that the dispersion out into the room is much improved so the audience hears you better too! It's a win, win situation.

Absolutely agree. I say overkill because of our drummist was a bit less heavy handed we’d all be able to use less on stage and not need ear protection

[BassmanPaul]

I have four Acme boxes and I love them. once I was setting a pair of them up and the band leader says reprovingly 'That's an awfully big bass amp Paul'. I wouldn't have minded but he stood on the other side of the stage with a pletora of instruments most of which he never actually played between us. I barely had room to stand let alone move. 🤯 

[Merton]

Sounds about right!

How would you compare the 4001 to the 4003?

My mini stereo rig…😎

[Stub Mandrel]

Ready for lift off.

Last nights gig required my smaller but equally as loud set up. 
Mesa Boogie Buster 210 combo

[msb]

Nice to see you don’t have to haul around the pipe organ for that room.

[Mudpup]

Thought I would give the Orange amp a run out this weekend instead of my usual Mesa. Venue was a bit tight width wise so it was stuffed in a corner. I'm still really pleased with it as a lighter weight big iron amp 😁

Overwhelmed with this set up , the tone from the Handbox is unreal and that cab makes it sound like an earthquake ! 

All set to be making some people deaf this weekend...
