Pretty sure if you email Ampeg they will tell you the 4 ohm tap will be happy as Larry with the 312 2.67ohm stack.

To go with your sequined spats.

Good prospects as each monitor will only need a fraction of the volume if placed well.

A stethoscope would be handy to narrow down which general area is loudest.

Is that blocks glued to each side of the body? I assume spreading the load so the aluminum won't punch out over time? I was reading a bit about them. Spruce bass bar? Glued or screwed?

The cab will have a similar amount of poke as your old 210AV. Amp not so much but with another cab you should be quite ok and could even find it unnecessary. Trace used very sensitive drivers. You could only have used a fraction of the old amp output into the old cab before it would start crying foul.

Indifference. Too many dreamy musicians employed in music shops is your problem. Imagine the airhead bandmates we complain about in threads here being your employees and customers.

Congratulations! Nice to be wanted. Time to learn a bunch of new tunes. This must have been a Thursday night for you as it's Saturday morning here. Better learn that bunch of new songs even more quickly. You don't want to get predictable to that smaller pool of Thursday pubgoers / your burgeoning fanclub.

Can someone please do the Photoshop, beards and guitars would be great, and see if he can't get it then?

All I know about fancy schmancy actives is local sound co has a fleet of the OP ones so I heard them a few times. They sound F N good to me. Mostly I am asking them to be turned down a bit. I helped them load out once so I can say they are light enough. Since OP can't point to lacking anything I can now be sure this has been a gas exorcism.

Ahem!!!

You mentioned a acoustic guitar gig, double duty as FOH I assumed.

Nobody slips deliberately!

All's well that ends well I guess. One slip with the fork would have put a dent in your f hole*. *Not some thing to repeat at a dinner party.

You two look like the only thing missing is a couple of ginger beards.

I wouldn't worry. If they were too simple to parse your actual words they could have been quite chuffed that they got some forthright interaction all the same.

Being happy with pretty good is a good place to be. Methinks you have got the gas. Otherwise you will have to define what is missing from your monitor sound or your FOH sound that you feel could be improved.

Outdoors level is basically dance level indoors, unless you want that weedy "little village band playing outdoors" sound. Plan for that and you should be ok for anything that comes along including the kickarse bass guitar rig but also adding keys etc. In favour of sub, only need small tops instead of do it all tops. Most of the time everything cruises but if you need more they can really shout. Unleash the big dog up to 120hz.

Six Rounds has a dual piezo with a balancer for rockabilly slapping the fingerboard. I reckon whacking the body would come through the bridge well enough as they are pretty intimately connected. Might need a volume pedal if that's feasible ie "plays bass, breaks into percussion solo, plays bass".

Some rooms really bloom / boom all the way to 80hz or more. Tunable HPF working in tandem with bass knob conquers all. One of my rehearsal rooms is gloriously warm and bassy to the extreme so needs a massive trim of everything to bring it back to just "CHOICE!". Then plug in at a jam in a regular room and it's a sorry scrawny mess, oops. More knobs ftw.

I'll bite, iirc 105dB is enough to cause hearing damage over a couple of hours. Thought I'd better check. According to CDC hearing damage possible from 100dB at the earhole after 15 minutes. It is important to distinguish dB at source from dB where listening. The CDC does a rubbish job of that!

You could always swap the cab for something more capable or add another if it turned out to be just shy. Elf power is handy enough if you want to get a bit rowdy with a bigger cab. I wouldn't expect too much out a single 110 though. 300w is a thermal rating. It doesn't tell you how much low end will come out before it dies. It doesn't tell you how much noise it makes per watt either. Worth a shot if you can handle winding up needing two of them. There was a busted Markbass combo in the classifieds for you but I think it may have shifted.

I reckon anyone who does anything notable in the US takes them beyond UK level "sucess" whether or not they were household names at home.

Anything 2x12 can tear your head off if cranked up. As our friend Phil said, either get them pointed at the players' heads and mic'd, or it's IEM time.

There's three piece jazz outfits and three piece jazz outfits all not the same, but sounds promising. Ime the festival backline I thought must have been DI to the front system turned out to be doing it all by itself when I took the stage. Gobsmacked.
