Rockin' the Room (what's your gig amp?)

I generally use two different rigs. However, all together I have 3 combos, 5 heads and 3 cabs.

The rock band gets a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 and an Avatar 2-12 cab. I usually have PA support.

The big band gets a Carvin MB210 combo. It is generally enough for gig, plus it fits into the trunk of my Mustang. If the room is really big with no PA support, I go with the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 and an Avatar 2-10 cab.

Mostly the GB Shuttle 9.0 and the SWR GoLite 2X10 @ 400 watts. It’s just a hair shy of 45lbs. I have other cabinets that I can add if I need more power or a 15.

If it's with the (normally) acoustic duo I play with from time to time, its a Fender Rumble 100. For electric stuff it's a GK MB500 with two Avatar SB112s.

Fender Rumble 500 combo for the full band with drums (jazzers/swingers), Fender Rumble 100 for the acoustic band. I have enough gear to do more than I probably ever will again. I only gig about an average of 2-3/mo.

During the last few years of my most recent band, the rig was supplied at most gigs. These were not high-end affairs, but at a club that supplied a rig, and private multi-band "mini-festivals" where someone always contributed a stage rig everyone used.

When I use mine, it's a G-K MB500 head through a G-K Neo112 cab. I have two of the Neo112s, but have only used both at one show.

Fender Rumble 500 Combo.  if we're playing outside I run a line to the PA and I use it for a monitor.  It's loud enough for outside as we are not too loud.  But we get a better mix.

If you find yourself ever needing a speaker replacement in the GK 112 consider putting Eminence Kappalite 3012 HO’s. 450 watts (conservative RMS Wattage) vs. 300 watts RMS on the GK stock speaker. Longer cone excursion limits, very sensitive (higher perceived output per watt, and higher Xmas rating    
I had 2 of these cranked on an outdoor venue once and the drummer sitting 5 ft to my left said he felt the concussion from where he sat. Very good tone. Big improvement. 

We play a lot of small house parties or backyard gatherings, but we also play a few senior centers, etc as well as Veterans facilities and the occasional club.

90% of the time, I play direct into the small PA I take to the gigs. "Small parties" means less than 50 people, occasionally 75 people and a NYE with about 150. The "small PA" has two Yamaha DBR10 for mains...no stage monitors.

For the rare street gig or large club, I have an Ampeg SVT3Pro thru and Avatar B410. I also have a couple of Ampeg PF350....one mates with a Carvin 115MBE extension cabinet and the other one mates with a custom built 210 or an Eden EX112-4. I also have a small Carvin MB10 combo amp when I want or need more than the small PA.

And if you want to come to my place and jam awhile, I have 5 Fender guitar amps and 3 Vox guitar amps.

Did I mention two drum kits?  And I do not play guitar or drums...I barely play bass adequately for this group I am in now.

Being a gear addict is a sad condition....

I use an Ampeg PF-800 and two Greenboy fEARful cabinets I built...a 12/6/1 and a 12 sub. If I use any pedals I just use an octave up and/or a simple bass distortion. For basses, I usually use a Line 6 Variax 5 string. Most of the time I use the Danelectro model and sometimes the Thunderbird model, and the Hagstrom 8 string model.

Depending on the venue:

Fender Rumble 500 combo
TC Electronic RH450 head
Darkglass Microtubes 900 head
Ampeg SVT-III Pro head
TC Electronic 1-12 and 2-12 cabinets
Mesa Boogie 6-10 cabinet
Ampeg 4-10 cabinet
Ampeg 1-15 cabinet
Ampeg Rocket 100 combo

For most gigs it's either the Fender Rumble 500 combo or the Darkglass Microtubes 900 with the TC cabinets.

If its my once-a-year-substitute-in-a-bar-band, I've got an
Ashdown Mag 300, with a second Ashdown cab, Klystron Mini
(both 15s). A little heavy, 50 lbs apiece, but plenty of
bottom, paired up with my J-Bass.

If its a praise service in our small chapel, my GK MB150E
(at 28 lbs). 12" speaker does great, especially accompanying
the piano and PA'ed guitar.

Well, advice please, I play with some baby boomers, 1 guitar, drums, vocals and piano some outdoor engagements but useually indoors for over 50 TO active adults. Anyway my Hartke B60 (60 W) and Yorkvillle Bassmaster 100 (100 watt) are a bit weak - need more volume.Looking at, really leaning toward it, Hartke KB15 250 W RMS. I need something that is not too heavy. I have experience with and like Carvin (went to hell after he kids rook over), Hartke, Peavey and "70's Kustom. Not too worried about "tone" just need reliability; light er weight and not to many $$'s.
Back in the day I used Carvin 1980's, Used a Traynor in "70's. As they say on Fox News, "What say you?"

There are a lot of good amps in the class D configuration that can get the head down to 4 to 6 pounds. A couple of Neo-tens in a cabinet, 38lbs, like my SWR golight Jr and can crank out 400 watts. Add another 8Ω cab and push 900 watts, using the GenzBenz Shuttle 9.0.

My ultra stealth rig is the Phil Jones Four by two. Small and I can power it with a battery for hours of use. I use it for un amplified acoustic gigs. It can hang with electric guitar too if not pushed to hard.

I used it last month at the Alafia River Rendezvous, wireless and stashed away in my split ash canoe basket. I forgot to apply electrical tape to the amps LED and the front singer/ acoustic guitar guy noticed the LED at about two hours into the music. He asked me what it was, anything developed after 1840 is not to be used, I just told him not to mess with my “Emotional Support Basket” he laughed and we played another hour. A few of my buddies listening knew what I was doing and told me it really sounded natural, nobody else had a clue. The whole wine tasting thing didn’t hurt “o) the guy who sponsored the party has a vineyard and everyone was there for dinner and wine tast.

Fat Tony, I played a senior home through a small PA. I loved it where we could hear each instrument and not blowing everyones ears out. If I have my choice that is how I would like to play at lower volume levels but unfortunately a lot of drummers and guitarist play so loud I have to crank it up. I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 600 I played with but recently bought a 1000 watt RMS Markbass little Ninja amp so if we do play outside again I do not have to turn it up over 1/2 as I do not like driving amps up to 3/4 or full.
