Lurked the forums/site for a while, figure'd I would post

I've been playing bass for about 13 years. Most of the gear I use I built myself (amateur luthier, but I have built basses a few for $$).

4 string electric upright, about a half-dozen 5 strings I built myself (34-35" scale, bolt on, neck through, etc), an Ibanez BTB 6 string, a Wishnevsky 7 string (WishBasses rule!), and a MIJ Sting P-bass (upgraded EMG pickup). I've got another half-dozen or so guitars in various stages of completion.. just don't have time to work on them anymore.

I've got QSC 850 and 1850 power amps (one or the other depending on what cabinets I use/gig demands) and a Behringer V-Amp (non rack mount) that I use for a pre-amp. Every cabinet I own I've built myself as well (much cheaper than buying *if* you know how to design a bass cabinet): 4x12+mid+tweet, 2 1x12s+mid+tweet, 4x10, 2x15, 6x10+tweet. I play a lot of jazz, not so much into rock anymore (but I do enjoy the goodness of punk/ska), so a lot of the sound I built is overkill.
