    Hi folks, sorry if I am being dumb - I am selling a couple of basses and added them in the appropriate forum - but it seems I cannot post pictures as I've nearly exhausted my quota. How can I free up some of my quota? Thanks for the advice, - Nick.

    [quote name='IanA' timestamp='1457524040' post='2999292'] Your cabs will require different eq to the P/A, all of the engineers that I have dealt with have asked for a pre signal for that reason. The best way for them to get "your sound" is to mike your cab [/quote] This may well be the way to go. Or "assist" the soundman with EQ (yes - I need someone to pluck the strings on stage whilst I listen from the soundboard).
  12. The Twickerman
    ...and in fact we did use a pre-EQ DI! It wasn't what I would have chosen ideally, as I'd prefer the soundman took my tone as a starting point and re-EQed it as suits the room.
  13. The Twickerman
    An update. We played a couple of warm up gigs - a small 250 capacity place and then a 700 capacity place. I used the 115W valve amp with a 15" cab - with a pre-EQ DI taken (from the amp) to the desk. It was more than adequate for both. The interesting thing is that I actually played at a lower volume for the bigger gig (as was suggested first by sunburstjazz1967 and echoed by IanA and Phil Starr). I was at 5/10 input gain and 5/10 output level for the smaller venue (as I usually am for pub gigs) and turned the output level down to below 4/10 for the 700-capacity venue. One very interesting thing I found:- it was a useful compromise to take the pre-EQ feed to the desk at the larger venue. This meant I could apply quite extreme EQ in order to get a clear sound for myself on stage - without inflicting that on the audience (the stage itself provided very effective passive bass reinforcement). The sacrifice being that I had to trust the soundman to apply appropriate EQ to the bass (something he was more than able to do).

    Well, we've a couple of warm-up gigs this weekend - with our sound engineer on the desk. He is happy to take a post-eq DI - so I'm happy. Let's see how it goes on the small stage first. The consensus within the band, based on their previous tours, is that 115W + 15" cab will be fine.
  15. The Twickerman
    Oh dear. Did you have words?
  16. The Twickerman
    Thanks!
  17. The Twickerman
    Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. Some asked for more info - so here goes. Budget isn't really the issue here - I should be able to borrow most of what I need. Unfortunately I am not intimately involved with setting up the tour - and although we are taking our own sound man I don't think we'll know exactly what to expect in each venue (the largest is 2000 capacity I think - but there are some smaller ones). I've not worked with him before - but I'll talk to the sound man to find out how he likes to tackle the bass (DI from the bass, DI from the amp, mic etc.). I'd like to investigate in-ear monitoring - but maybe next year. This year I'd like to focus on sounding good on-stage, if that makes sense. I'll use my backline to monitor myself then get the sound man to ensure I can hear everyone else through the wedges. I am thinking, based on what's been said, of using a matching 2x10, on top of the 1x15 - making the speakers are closer to head height. I'm still hopeful that 115W of valve power will be sufficient to hear myself on stage. We're not loud - it's prog rock! Perhaps I ought to consider up-grading the amp though... hmmmm.
  18. The Twickerman
    Hi all, until now I've only ever done pub-sized gigs, but later this year I'm doing a tour of larger venues (up to about 2,500 I think). I know I only need the back line so that I can hear myself, but I also know that, even in pubs, hearing yourself when you're the bass player can be difficult. The long wavelength of the deeper notes mean that room nodes are very problematic. I don't know if this problem might actually be less apparent in larger venues (I suspect it might), but I am wondering if my 115W Valve head/15" speaker combination will be sufficient to hear myself. I wonder if simply swapping to a 2x10" (with a horn) and ensuring it's drivers are directed towards my head(!) might be a wise "upgrade". Any comments? Thanks! - Nick.
  19. The Twickerman
    Great amp - I have the head version. This is a great price. Someone is going to get a bargain.
  20. The Twickerman
    Interested in any trades?
