The Unnecessary Triple...

Although one will have to go, this triple threat of mighty beasts does look mildy arousing...

Nice, here is my own 'triple'.  I am now down to one cabinet and it is impractically heavy and loud, so I need to get at least one 2x12 or 4x10 (preferably 4 ohm) to add to my collection.

Most of my gigging is with the Mesa Walkabout combo which is nearly out of shot.

Good choices in heads sir. A might respectable pile up!

One of the nicest heads ive ever played through the Mesa BB750!

I really love it. 

It actually has a bit less EQ flexibility compared to the other Mesa heads I have tried/owned, being the M6 Carbine and the Walkabout. However, as a mid-heavy, slightly dirty rock tone the Big Block is great. The overdrive channel is great too, I just crank the gain and it becomes one of the best fuzz tones I have ever tried. Its definitely a 'will never sell' head.

@binky_bass at least that loverly bass has the correct number of strings!!

Who doesn't love a tidy threesome...

That VBA400 rig has always been on the 'want' list! If you ever want to rid yourself of it...

Hubba hubba, Marshall making Ampeg look positively tiny there. Am very envious, having heard a couple of bands use the full VBA stacks they are immense, VBC412 my fave ever cab.

It is an absolute monster.

And that is reflected in the weight! Weapons-grade touring rig but definitely need roadies to move the thing! I have got flight cases for the whole rig aswell and it takes up half the garage! haha.

But it is an Ampeg-killer too. Seriously grunty and ridiculous headroom.

I adore the 4x12s too

I had the pleasure of playing through a Marshall VBA stack a few times at a rehearsal studio. Amazing amps.

 

I simply didn't know my bass could sound that flippin' good.

That Purple Chilli rig looks great. Big fan of my two 112 cabs.

I played a gig with one and the matching 4x12. It was at all instrumental post-rock gig in a basement venue. It had absolutely unreal levels of headroom. I was very impressed.
