wally8 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi All Really interested in down sizing from a head and 4x10 to a smaller rig as im regularly playing in a friends cover band which play small pubs doing the usual crowd pleasing stuff. Very good but loud drummer and 2 x guitarists. Quite like the terror bass sound and the sp212 i played through the other day. Just wondering on audibility with a knee height rig in very close prox to you playing? You know what its like in some of these small pubs where you're basically standing on your amp and no monitors. I have no doubt the terror bass and the sp212 is loud enough, nearly blew the shop up playing it but just wondered on user experience in a live setting as explained. Cheers, ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hey Ben, hope all`s well? I`ve not used that set-up in a band, but have seen our very own Burrito use it, and it was plenty loud enough out in the audience. He had a case made up for the cab, think from Flightcasewarehouse, with castors on, and the cab sat on top of that, so that could be a way of doing things to avoid deaf-knee syndrome. Or another way, get a hard case for the head/leads/strap etc, and stand the cab on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 My avatar is almost exactly what Lozz said That was an outdoor festival with me through front of house, however, the cab was just on a flight case. Cheaper boxes are available, as are stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally8 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Cheers guys. Will look into that. All super ta lozz. Singing in a metal band at the mo so my bass playing is restricted to my essex mates pub/function band which is still fairly regular around 2x a month. Still lugging the old peavey 4x10 and firebass about. You still in sunny Hemel? Edited May 20, 2014 by wally8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Coo, the old firebass & 410, no wonder you`re looking for lightweight gear! Still sunny Hemel, no changes really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 There's a great lightweight TecAmp 2x12 cab up for sale on here at the moment, I'd be looking at that + the TB if I were you. My setup for the last 3 years has been the TecAmp L410 + TB. Immense, and laughably lightweight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I use a pair of SP212 but be honest 1 is loud enough for pubs gigs playing loud rock. I can hear on fine on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi Ben - Loz mentioned my old rig (just sold it recently after 4yrs solid gigging with it) and I had flightcased it. The lid came off and I'd take it out the tray and stick it on top of the flightcase shell. It was *never* a problem. I only sold it as I wanted the more period correct look of the Ampeg and the Orange stuff was worth more so I could get some money back. If I didn't have the flightcase you could always put it on an amp stand, a crate or a table. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
