solo4652 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've read this ad a few times now and I'm fairly sure they're saying they want a bassist with a "4K rig". 4000W !?

Gust0o Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Maybe there's a lot of call for covers bands on the stadium scene? I don't know them, so I couldn't comment - beyond suggesting they should also seek a typewriter with a SHIFT key I thought that was funny, so I'll get my coat in advance...

Ziphoblat Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Fairly confident they're describing their own PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisthebass Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think they were talking about their PA rig, but the last line creased me up..... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.I. Joe Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 At risk of spoiling the fun, I think they mean that the band have all pro gear and a 4K rig. Seems quite obvious to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I once had a 5000W rig. Powered by a Yamaha P5000S power amp. The cabs wouldn't have survived if I'd turned it up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have always thought the Yamaha product names a bit odd in this regard , a P5000S is rated at 500W/channel into 8 ohm cabs , it might not have scared the cabs as much as you thought it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
