Bass Rig setups

I don't consider all my stuff my 'rig'. A least two basses will never see stage time again; The Ripper and the SD Curlee are keepsakes. Some basses are trade-bait. Some are backups. The current rig is kinda weird. There are some amps and cabs that got relegated to my home studio, Some are just waiting till we get more room. But I'm using:
Essence 5
Orion 4
Conklin GT-5
G&L Tribute L-2500
Spector Q5
Lightwave Classica 5
into
Moog MurF-105>
Ch.1>Morley Dual wah> Trace Elliot AH-500x>Avatar 2x10
Ch.2>Akai Deep Impact>Digitech BP-200>Sunn Coliseum Bass 300>X-Audio 2x10(yeah, its cheap but it thumps!)
If needed I add a Mackie M1400 power amp and add to cabs; An Acme Low B2 and an Eden 2x10 wedge and replace the Sunn with an TE AH-300.
The Basson B15b, the Hartke 4.5xl and the QSC RMX 850 are my studio stuff.

Hi all, I don't have a lot of fancy equipment.  I play my Spoiler through a Working Man's 300 and into a working Mans 4x10 cabinet.

Alembic Essence 5 curly maple 1998, Spoiler 4 flame maple 1987 and an early all rosewood Schecter P-Bass.   Amp is an Eden WT-550 with a D112xlt or two D210xlt cabs depending on size of venue.   Also have a Sovtek Bassov 50 watt head and 1X15 cabinet for that B-15 sound.   Pretty simple when you think about it.

I just gotta add my two cents here.  I'm an old guy and don't care to haul anymore than necessary.  And I'm not a scientist like you young bucks, so I don't have all that fancy processing stuff.  Although, from time to time I do toy with the idea of using a crossover.  With that in mind here's what I use.
 
For Church gigs:
2 SWR Workingman's 10 running stereo
(at 35lbs I can carry one in each hand)
 
For Medium rooms and venues where we use a DI to the board and don't need (or want) a lot of stage volume:
2 Eden Nemesis NC210's running stereo or if it's a small room, I'll run one mono.
(At less than 50lbs they're relatively easy to move and IMO sound as good as my old SWR Redhead did)
 
For large venues or outdoors I add the following to the NC210s:
2 Vintage (1979) Eden 212 Rhino cabinets  
2 Vintage (1979) Eden BR115 cabinets
Powered by QSC RMX1450 running stereo
(the old Eden cabinets are built like tanks and weigh almost as much but they can move a lot of air and make nice visual wall of sound)  
 
Current Basses:
89 Series II 4 string (Thomastik Jazz Flats)
02 Series II 5 string (actually arrives 11 Mar 05 according to the tracking number)
79 BC Rich Eagle Koa 4 string (Thomastik Jazz Flats)
80 BC Rich Eagle Maple 4 string (Rotosound Swing Bass ML)
 
I still play the Eagles a lot because the Alembic case is a bitch to get in my Corvette.  Probably need to invest in a Gig Bag.
 
Cheers!
