I was thinking how people managing to set-up the cheap bass-rigs

 

Here is mine

 

Aria pro II sb600 - 210 $ + EMG Hz 40 pickups - 80$

 

Marshall integrated bass system 200w head - 125 $ (mosfet SS)

 

Zoom 506II - 80 $ (what a {censored} man)

 

Marshall mb25mkII combo (1x10) - 150 $ (used for biamping)

 

Fender BXR 1x15 cab 150 $ (maybe 200w)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sum total - 795 $

 

 

signal goes into Marshall 200w where it splits through builtin cross over set on 500 Hz

Low-end goes directly through his PA into fender 1x15 cab,

High-end goes into Zoom 506II fx (very bad and hissy one too)

from Zoom to small marshall 25w 1x10 combo, (loud enough for high Freq.)

 

This sounds cheap as it looks but I like this rig...

only thing that gets me pissed off is a Zoom Fx pedal.., but I could live with it....

Replace the zoom 506II with a zoom 3000B. Their cheapest units, like everyone elses are pretty poor. You can somewhat improve the sound of the cheap zooms by raising levels in all sections to 25 or higher with final output raised to 45 or higher.

 

Sounds like a decent rig overall otherwise. For budget little rig I run basses to processor (Zoom 3000B and alternately a Zoom gfx3) then to mixer (plays synths too) then to pair of Peavey Minx110's. Everything in stereo. For large rig swaps the peaveys for Eden Nemesis 210 plus Eden Nemesis 115 ext cab. Runs that mono cause cant justify doubling rig to 500 watts, four tens, two 15's and two comp tweeters. Thatd be gross overkill. Lol.

 

For cheap rigs reccomends Peavey over everything else.
