Haha. We did support them at a gig a few years ago.We covered a boo hewerdine song called hummingbird.Turns out their banjo player produced an album for alison brown which featured that song.We come from a different angle eg,prefab sprout,peter gabriel,blackstreet etc.cheers

Cheers Phil.im slow with this adding links and phone technology but ill have a go.Till then a brief description of us is double bass,banjo 2x vox and a suitcase bass drum playing bluegrass,country and songs you might not expect given the instrumentation

Used our newly.aquired 2nd hand rcf 710s for the first time.Although the venue was small and the speakers werent pushed at all initial.impressions are they seem to suit vocals and accoustic instruments a bit better than the srm 450s we used to have.Time will tell when we put some bass and kick drum through them

Thanks Phil.ill reply after the gig.cheers

After following this topic and other pa related threads i finally pulled the trigger on a used pair of rcf 710s.Sounded great in my garage studio tonight.First full gig for my duo this friday so we shall see how they compare to the srm 450s we used to use in a previous band .Going to run the double bass through a gk combo with a small amount through the pa.dont know if they will handle the suitcase bassdrum though

I was fortunate enough to play in a band with the great Paul Thompson for a while.great player and a great bloke.

Thanks for your replies.The sub route was my most likely choice but was interested in peoples opinion on whether the art 910s are much more capable than the 310s.Ill start scouring ebay etc.cheers

After months of following the numerous pa threads and informative conversations with Phil Starr im about to buy a pa.i have chosen to buy rcf 10inch tops.My final question based on a budget of around 1000 pounds is would the 910 cabs be up to the job.We have double bass,bass drum,banjo and two vocals.Small to medium pubs are the venues.If a sub was needed id probably go the art310 route and pick up a used sub.cheers

Im still.following pa.threads.with interest as i have yet to decide.Both the rcf 910 and hd10 are contenders but i cant find much difference between them.even the prices are close.

Absolute steal at 400.great bit of kit

Given the love on here for art 310s how do they compare to srm450s if a sub was added.

I saw a texan accordian player called Ruben Moreno accompanied by l,il Jim from Derby in a local pub last night.Great foot tapping zydeco and cajun.

Hi Phil,i follow these pa threads with interest as we still havnt made up our mind on which way to go.we are still a few months from being fully gig ready so are in no rush.If anyone organizes a ne pa type bash im happy to bring my qu 16 along.

Got my fender jazz in 1976.still got it .Love it as,much as the day i bought it.Be passed on to my grandson eventually along with my other instruments

On upright bass its got to be Slick Joe Fick.long time player with the Don Kelley Band at Roberts Western World in Nashville.Some great videos on youtube.
