I guess I'm old school, I haven't found anything I like more than my AH350SMX w/ TE 1x15 and 2x10 cabs with my Statii or other basses. For small jobs and lower volume rehearsals I use my GK MB150E.

Currently my live rig is an SWR SM-900 head plus Focusrite Trakmaster compressor/channel strip, into two Eden Nemesis 1x15 cabs. Thunderous! Sounds absolutely blimmin fantastic. :D
I'm not some sort of drug-taking alcoholic git.
I'm just a git.

Hey Rich, Couldn't agree more about the Focusrite. I used to record my bass with a Voicemaster Pro, and now I record with the Focusrite ISA One. Amazing sound!!! Ihave some gigs coming up soon, so I'm going to use the Focusrite with my Ashdown Superfly 500, and two 2x10 cabs.:D

I've had a rather lovely rig change recently: the Trace 1x15 has gone, to be replaced by a BarefacedBass Vintage cab. Gotta say, this thing is immense! It's beautifully built, looks gorgeous and sounds even better. Plus it's lighter than the Trace B)

I'm currently using a Trace AH400SMX with Mesa Boogie 1x15 and 2x10 cabs which I've had for ages. After my S2 arrives (and is paid off!) I'd like to try it through a few other rigs to see how they compare. I quite like the look and portability of the new TC Electronic Rebelhead 450 head and cabs (www.tcelectronic.com/Bass.asp). Has anyone tried these yet?

I was thinking the very same. The Rebelhead 450 head is getting some very favourable reviews. Any Statii members tried one?

As I got older and wiser I downsized to save my back getting any worse. I never really gigged without a fairly decent P.A. (thats not slang for personal assistant) If you D.I or Mic up I don't see why a big rig is really needed unless the stages are huge. I have played on a few big stages and yes when I moved I lost my sound. To this day and I have owned some illustrious amps the best sound I ever had was through a 10" 100w Sessionette bass amp mic'd up, I am looking for one and have seen a few on the bay so that's what I'm going to use when I find one! By the way Steve, I tried those sound tech monsters out when they came out, they are incredible!!!!

Sorry for more pics of this, but it's worth it, coz the LH500 into the Barefaced Vintage is simply the best rig I've ever had the pleasure of using, let alone owning :D

The Mesa Boogie Walkabout hands down best sound I've heard.
For larger stages I use the Mesa M-6 Carbine 212 combo with an Powerhouse 1200 cab.very smooth on both amps and the Walkabout is small and puts out low end like no other amp I've used.

I have a number of amps - but the one that suits my Kingbass best is my Markbass TA501 - the onboard valve compressor is really something.

I will be using my Mark Bass LMII and Mark Bass Traveler 2x10 cabinet when my Streamline arrive. I am glad to see that some of you have positive experiences with Mark Bass amplication and your Status bass.

Try and source a WT400 traveller plus head - probably the best sounding head they ever made (IMHO). Plenty powerfull enough for unmiked gigs and has a decent DI output for the bigger gigs.

The traveller heads are really good, the Eden is a wicked amp! Everything my SWR redhead should have been, it was a great amp, just not loud enough for gigging! I tried an Eden in the Gallery and it was immense, downside was the lakland I used to try it:D
