I’m honestly not sure if the monitoring will be enough. I’ve played shows before where I legitimately couldn’t hear myself and turned out fine, albeit slightly awkward. I’m sure it’s a dangerous game; assuming that the venue (rams head live) will have a sufficient monitoring system, and not...

hello all. Long story short; I’m playing a show tomorrow at a pretty large venue. The show is a music festival with about 10 bands playing. For whatever reason the promoters decided not to have a backlined bass cabinet. As selfish as it may sound..to avoid 10 other bands asking to borrow my...

Friends? No. Family? Yes. From what I’ve seen, here and in all the locals in my area, it seems to be pretty rare. I feel insanely fortunate that the guys in my band are indeed truly like family. Outside of the band thing, we all get together when we can; just hang out at someone’s home, go out...

In regards to “need”...at the moment, nothing. However, -Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray -Ernie Ball Music Man SUB -Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass -Mark Hoppus Signature Bass (White Blonde, and Shell Pink) -Ampeg SVT (Heritage, or AV) ...and someone to carry all my gear from a 4th floor...

Having the stacked 210s is (to me) such a world of difference with a typical 410. I definitely have to thank TB for sending me in that direction. Having the speakers up higher, you can hear yourself so much better. I used to use a 410, and it wasn’t bad..just not as advantageous (imo). Other...

Ampeg SVT-7 (with custom head enclosure I made to match the cabs) Two Avatar B210 cabs w/ Faitals. (Stacked vertically, of course) Love everything about this rig, it gets me through pretty much any situation.

My introduction to the world of bass started with an upright back in my first year of orchestra in elementary school. A year after that is when I was given my first electric bass. I don’t really play the upright anymore, but my nephew recently started dabbling with it, so it’s pretty nice to be...

Yep, vents are on the left side. I planned on getting replacement vent for a vox amp that I'd cut and mount on the side for the potential airflow issue. I thought about mounting it up from the bottom and to the whole for the feet, but I'm just a tad concerned about getting that right on the...

Hey Guys, I recently acquired a random head case (some freebie off Craigslist), very similar to the Carvin SV2 head case I've seen around here. I wanted to mount my SVT7-Pro in it, however the internal width isn't your standard 19 inches, it's only 16 inches! With my head inside the case, it's...

I went with the Faital Neo 10s.

admittedly at first i was very slightly thrown off by the logo only for the size of it. i originally thought it was going to be the same size as the cursive logo. all in all though, i went with that logo primarily because i thought it looked way better with my ampeg on top (font type, colors...

i didn't think so either until i saw a few people who had them changed the logo themselves. they even reoriented the input panel which i thought was a nice touch. it's pretty great. they will let you do just about anything to the cabinets, even down to choosing whatever logo you want which is...

Thanks Brent. I've read countless of positive things said about Avatar here. Even though there is that small, small gamble of not being able to try before you buy. The communication with Avatar was superb, and was never once remotely second guessing after I ordered them.

Hello All, After a whole lot of reading, conversations with other TB peeps, and some emailing with Dave I went the route of getting a pair of B210s. They're replacing a pair of Ashdown ABM 408 Neos. Which even though I really liked them for a while, I knew in the long run they weren't gonna...

Thank You!! This has definitely gotten me into the ballpark. The only issue I'm having with the BMS is that the low E sounds like dog poo, but from what I've read on TB that's pretty much unavoidable. A few tweaks here and there once I'm with the band and all should be good to go. Thanks...
