I bought niceguyhomer's Schroeder 410R and I used it today for the first time at a gig. We were booked to do an afternoon gig at a pub we play at regularly and I took the Schroeder with me. When I arrived, the landlady said that as it was such a nice day, we would be playing outside in the garden. I was more than a little apprehensive and would have dashed home to pick up the 810 Warwick that I normally use for outdoor gigs, but as I didn't have time, I had no alternative other than give the Schroeder a try.
Even though I had read all of the reviews on Schroeder cabs and knew that they were real performers, I was still a little skeptical. Five seconds into our first song my skepticism was gone and I was completely gobsmacked. Our singer's partner, also a bass player, was out front and when I looked at him he was just smiling and giving me the "F***ing awsome" look. I would never have believed that such a small enclosure was capable of producing a sound so loud and clear - you hear every note you play. As does the audience and every member of the band, which means that they hear every bum note as well. I think these cabs will either improve your playing accuracy or get you fired from your band!
I am really looking forward to putting the Schroeder through its paces at an indoor gig, especially the ones with lousy acoustics.
