thanks, BG, and MuleBagger too.

By "unplugged" I mean neither the guitarist nor I will use rigs. We'll play our instruments through the PA which has two JBL cabs with 15" speakers and horns. So there is plenty of bass tone . I'll use the Lak through a preamp, probably my EBS ValveDrive, and the guitarist will use his acoustic (which has a pickup like most acoustics these days). The drummer will play a substantially reduced kit. And of course we have Laura singing lead and the rest of us all do some singing as well, so there's four mikes.

It's a good format for these winter bar/restaurant gigs in the HV, and my other band the Shoemakers does a similar setup for these types of gigs. I'm very comfortable going "rigless" if I have the right bass and preamp.

All that said, my next two band gigs after this one are in large venues, and I'm eyeing some Baer cabs after getting turned on to them in the "Amps" forum of TB.

I'm really interested in those Baer 12 cabs. They sound like they will smoke. Bass Gear Review did a fantastic write up on them. Excellent publication btw. Really in depth and informative.

It obviously looks like we need to derail from the amps discussion to this......

That is one sweet, organic piece of wood, Tat. What is the toggle switch function?

@ Tat - that's beautiful!

@ Thor - hey man, at least I haven't brought the Genz Benz / Fender discussion over here ... Baers seem non-controversial in that everyone seems to think they are great.

That might be the 3-band pre-amp. I haven't asked which switches and knobs do what yet - mostly because I can't ever remember on any of the ones I have already and I'd only forget tomorrow anyway. LOL. Getting old sux.

See? I come here to get away from the horrible news that Fender has just decided to shut down Genz Benz permanently and you have to go and bring it up in here.

*cough*

Doesn't matter as long as it stays in the "on" position.
