Next pub gig I’d say.

[Merton]

An overly complicated IEM set up for tonight’s incredibly quiet wedding gig. Bought the Backbeat for this, need a better solution for the leads I think 🤔

[asingardenof]

Back at the scene of the crime last night, where the ABM500 I'd borrowed from @merton decided that power amps were passé and decided to blow its one, taking down some other bits with it. I only had two people ask me if I was going to blow an amp this time...

 

Fortunately the new ABM600 held up nicely and sounded amazing, let down only by its operator missing a cue and coming in half a bar too late on one song, causing us to have to stop and start again, but other than that everything went well. Apparently I was too loud, but oh well 🤣

 

I even managed in this unlikeliest of venues to find a kindred spirit with whom I reminisced about 80s kids TV shows, and agreeing that excluding Tom Bombadil from the LOTR trilogy was a good decision. The band's tab was also comped by the guy whose 65th birthday party it was, which is a great thing in a brewery tap!

 

Back rehearsing tomorrow before the next gig Saturday week.

[DGBass]

This weekend's gig rig of choice. I've gigged the cab a few times but never the matching set. Not sure why because the 700RB (an early MK1) has imho one of the best rock/rythm n blues sounds I've heard in recent times.Thouroughly enjoyed using it and it barely broke a sweat despite a thumping loud low-end.

 

[Franticsmurf]

First gig I've played where I've gone completely IEM and haven't had a backline amp. There was quite a breeze in the garden (we were playing a birthday party attended by all the village, so no volume issues). Mic stands, music stand etc were being blown over. So I used what shelter I could find to protect my Sterling HH. Under the coat is an Ibanez EHB1000s brought as a spare and not used. On the floor is a Behringer tuner into a Plethroa X3 into a passive DI box. An artistically arranged can of Coke Zero on the case (representing the now removed backline) completes my little corner of the patio.... I mean stage.  😄

First outing for the Elf at rehearsal today. I will definitely be leaving the ABM at home for future rehearsals!

The Elf and a Two10 in landscape mode is quite the thing to behold. Punches well above its weight!

I had the gain at noon and volume at about 10.30 and it kept up nicely. The band was well impressed.

I think I might try my Elf with the two Barefaced One10s I have at my next gig.

I have a relatively small gig next weekend (cricket club) and am very tempted to use it there.

[BassmanPaul]

I still say that the 2x10 would sound better on its end portrait style. It's even got the feet for that position.

It sounds killer in both positions, I don't think I've played it enough to have a clear favourite yet.

Depends on the vibe - it’s fatter in landscape mode so for me works great in a rock band with the Elf. Portrait mode also awesome and perhaps marginally more polite

This weekends rig! 

[Heynorm]

GK Plex, MB200, Neo112!

[Bassman68]

Not so much choice as “what I’ve got left”…

Having scaled down back-line as I don’t get to use it much in my current gigging situation

I have posted about this on another thread but 10/10 would recommend this combination.
