Just for fun, in light of what's on display here, I'm posting my humble dog-eared rig:

The gig-rig is...
-ART Tube EQ (preamp);
-Crest FA 1201 (power amp);
-Avatar 210 NEO, 4 ohms;
-EV B-115 cab, BW 1504-8 ohm loaded (needs to be a 1504-4 ohm, but it works);

The rock band (read: "Garage-Level Punk band") rig is...
-Peavey Mark III head;
-2x Peavey 115BX/BW cabs, BW 1502-8 loaded (need to change these to 1504-4, to get the most out of the Peavey MK III Battle-Axe).

(Playing a Smith Burner CR4, Godin A4 fretless, Squier Classic Vibe 50's P-Bass and Peavey Dyna-Bass Unity according to the mood of the evening and ferociousness- or not!- of the set list.)

I'm more into "Thump" than nuance/high freq's, so I've kept my amp expenses down to a minimum- seems to work that way, and frankly it's necessary at this point. But I love the feel and play of the Smith Burner- and it looks cool! It has a classic 'mojo' going on somehow, in a Post-Fender Era kind of way. So in this way I'm "wasting" the Smith on this old funky gear, but it works for me.
