phatbass787 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Gave in to temptation and bought one of the UK made Little Bastards today! Im planning on making a sweet mini rig and will probably get one of the 2x12 or 1x12 cabs to go with it. Havent had chance to plug it in yet but it sure looks beautifully made and oh so sweet. Nice touch having the certificate aswell, mines No. 24. Anyone else in the Little Bastard gang yet? I will report back later when ive have chance to actually play it...

Tried a little 210 cab but the 12" has the better voice IMO, the 48s just reinforce & raise the bar, it's a great little setup. Only others I know of is No.8 down the coast a bit with Mike_M & of course Ben's in Chicago! How's things Ben?

As far as gigging the LB, it really depends on the venue and the musicians. I suspect your cab selection can have an impact too. Remember, the LB has a DI (unlike an Ampeg B15 ) so you can always use house sound for larger/louder gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
