Kind of a minimalist.

At the moment I'm not playing bass in my main band, however....

 

When I do have a bass gig, my "rig" is:

 

1961 Fender Precision

 

Mesa Engineering modified Alembic F2-b preamp

 

Countryman D.I

 

Sennheiser digital wireless instrument system

(don't know the model, got it from Sennheiser before they came out, I do know it's X-wire technology)

 

Sennheiser 3000 Series Infrared Wireless I.E.M. system

 

Shure E-7 earbuds

 

No bass rig on stage...now that's minimalist ;) ...

I made a little edit to the picture in my post in the middle of this page. I can't wait to be able to add the new and upcoming custom Aggie OBP-3-enhanced 5-stringer to the list... Just a few more weeks if all goes well :love: ...

I'm currently using a Peavey Fury V quilt top.

A Peavey MkIII XP series head and a Peavey 1x12 speaker cab which I don't really know much about, it's BW equipped apparantly.

And when Christmas comes I shall be using a Boss GT-6B multi effects pedal.

currently my toy box includes:

 

-'95 Warwick Thumb Neck Through (Elixer strings)

-Yorkville 400B Head

-Hartke 4x10 XL Cab

-SKB PS-15 Board, with Tech 21 Sans Amp, Boss DD5 delay, Boss Chorus, Dunlap Bass Crybaby, and Boss TU-2 Tuner

 

I had a Hartke head at one point, but it was lost by Sam Ash. Instead, I made them buy me the pedal board. The Yorkville pretty much sounds like a tin can, but I can get a great tone through the Thumb and PS-15 now.

My rig (rig is a bit of an overstatement):

Ibanez SR300DX 4 - string

 

Crate BX15 15-watt practice amp

 

Digiflex (i think) 15~20 foot cable

 

Intelli tuner/ metronome ( needs to be replaced with something more accurate)

 

Gibson Thunder Plus roundwound strings (thinking of flats just for fun)

 

Its a poor excuse for a rig but its all i need since i don't gig with my band, we just jam (for now).

I still want more though, come christmas i'll be getting a distortion pedal (see thread: Distortion Pedal Conflict) and if I ever start gigging with my band i'll probably save up for a bigger amp and another bass (one better than my SR300 so i can use the sr as a backup and the other one as my main player). I've been really wanting to build a Warmoth bass, but my knowledge of bass building is like "ok so the screw goes in the hole??"

 

As for amps i think all i would really need is like a 2x10 or maybe a 4x10 but my band still doesn't gig so whatever its all good for now.

 

peace

I just recently got back into playing again, but here's my budget rig as it'll be within a few weeks:

 

JB Player acoustic/electric, model 3700;

G-K 800RB;

Avatar B210;

Avatar B115H.

Only effect -- Danelectro Cool Cat(18v).

 

Then I'll shop for a nice regular bass, played a Music Man SUB the other day, very nice.

 

You guys give me serious GAS though :)

99% of my work is done on a 3/4 size Josef Bitterer Mittenwald Germany String Bass, circa 1900-1910. This with a David Gage Realist pickup through either a SWR Workingman's 10 combo, or more infrequently a 1977 Polytone Mini Brute 3, an SWR Workingman's 12, or completely acoustic. Every now and then I'll play my new Fender Highway One P-Bass through one of these rigs on a gig, but not that often, yet. Both basses are strung with Thomastic-Infeld strings; the fiddle with "weich" gauge, and the P with TI Flats.
