I play in a 5 piece rock band: 2 guitarists drummer, bass and singer. No soundman & dont go through PA; just a backline. Im finding it difficult to hear my amp and last gig my output was switched to full with gain & master at 75% and vintage button pressed in. I got this combo as so many rave reviews about how loud it is & of course lightweight. Replaced my LM800 head & 4x10 cab which barely went above 25% on master vol. I know Im only 400w but surely that should cut through? Or maybe we are just too loud? Am I best off getting the 115 extension cab or 2x10?

To be honest my blue sparkle Sterling Ray 34 sounds as good as my Musicman Ray34. The maple fretboard produces such a lovely tone so I guess it's my favourite. Genre is a tough one. I probably lean more towards indie rock light rock.

4 yrs ago I sold my amplification: a markbass LM2 coupled with the 104hf cab. Ideally I would like to get something that is less weighty but will provide the same volume and cut through as my new band dont go through the PA; just use a backline. Playing in pubs, clubs, halls to between 50 - 250 people. As Im out of touch with theblatest fear I wondered if anyone can recommend such. TIA
