I'm interested in knowing who here uses the SF-2, F-1X and F-2B all in the same rig. How does it sound?
 
I currently have an SF-2 and F-1X and I'm thinking of getting an F-2B as well. Would this be a smart decision? My playing style and sound I'm going for is very similar to Phil Lesh's.
 
oh, and money isn't an issue.
 
Thanks,
Connor

Well if money isn't an issue why don't you buy me an F2-B?  
All b.s. aside how do you plan on hooking this all up and how do you think this would be sonically effective?
 I know you are asking others here for advice but you must have an idea how this could work for you.

I don't think it's necessary. For me, an F1X is only necessary if I want to biamp, although there are some aspects of the sound that I prefer to the F2B. So, one of those with an SF2 should give you a full experience. For the old school Phil tone, I recommend an F2B, SF2, a Crest CA9 and a bunch of JBL 15s in the appropriate cabinets. For an 80s and on tone, then the SWR front end with Meyer cabinets might be a good way to  go.
 
For me these days, it's the former rig, sometimes with Euphonic Audio speakers.  
 
Also, if you go with a Series I or II, the F2B is probably the way to go, so each pickup can have it's own channel.

Thanks for the replies. I've seen pictures of rigs that had all three, so I figured it must be good. I'm interested in seeing if people have done this and how they had it set up so I could get an idea of how I should so I don't currently have an answer for how I would do so.

where? id like to see them

In theory it is possible . Perhaps the the F-2B pre or post the SF-2 in the effects loop of the F-1X.  The F-2B could be used in various configurations, ( perhaps even  the high frequency out of the F-1X) for some in this case; nice distortion.If this is a colour on your creative palette that you would like to utilise in a tasteful display of Sonic  Magic Then this kind of  Sonic Alchemy is what it takes sometimes to Float The Boat   ;   I like it when my boat floats ______.

Connor , Sonic experiments such as this take caution in your gain structure so be careful . They can be very rewarding however in the end results and can often reward you with a unique experience.
 
        Usual disclaimers & as always ...
                                                              Sonic Regards !

I did this for a little while. I used the F2B to blend the pickups of my basses (I had them all wired in stereo at the time, with another line coming from a pot that was mapped to parameters on my Lexicon effects so I could control reverb or delay times or pitch shifting right off the bass. It was silly), then the signal went through a crazy effects chain, including the SF-2 and finally to the F1X where I got my DI and then used the crossover to biamp. It sounded good, but it was a little much.

Yes .   For the most part I tend to keep it simple , but from time to I still get adventurous .

I think I may just keep the F-1X. I find it to still be very versatile, especially with the superfilter, and I can get Phil Lesh's tone post 1980 from it, and I bet I can get pre 1970 as well.
 
I'm going to start a new thread about getting a 70's tone from an F-1X, as to avoid hijacking this thread even though its mine
