anyone play a rig bigger than you are?

[johnk_10]

Here's one of mine that is taller than me. and it was designed by the manufacturer in 1970 to be used this way.

I noticed while moving my rig tonight (mostly because of this thread) that my head and cab, with the cart on the bottom and the head in it's case, is in fact taller than me. It helps that I'm only 5'6".

John, you just keep showing off. You by far have the nicest restored Peg's on the planet. I know you know it... You are my hero, but you also know I already told you that before too.

I have this one 810 that needs recovered and new grill, and one of my 215's could be recovered, its not stripped like the 810... Would you do them for me? I'll drive out and visit. BOB

 

[johnk_10]

yes Bob. i would be happy to. i'd also love to meet you in person, as i find you 'take' on life very entertaining and it always brightens my day.

membranophone, that bass has undergone some massive upgrades since you have had it.

Playing a summer party this year next to a big stack. Making a lot of noise in the rocky mountains.

Holy hell. I am 6' 3" and 190 lbs, and I thought I was skinny. You guys must have a hard time standing on a windy day.

Back on topic...I have stacked my 2x15 and 4x10 and rack.

and some fun I had with a 4x12, a 4x10 and a 6x10. With my short guy friend and tall female friend standing next to it.

I Think she is pointing out to you to get this stuff out of my livingroom,the guy looks like he is introuble too...he got that eddie haskal look....

I used to travel with a rig 3' taller and 8' wider..

We only plugged in cab in as it messed with the sound guy's mix at FOH.. sure looked cool

Later took the drivers out and hollowed it out.

 

[Edword]

Mine was just about the same height as me, but since adding a ¾" plywood board between the cabs, it's a bit taller.

 

[fishsticks]

ahem.....

MUHUWAHHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[coreyfyfe]

ahem.....

MUHUWAHHAHAHAHA!!!

I think that rig is bigger than me in four dimensions.

 

[Metal Matt]

No pictures of the entire thing live with me in front of it, but here's part of it with me about 2 feet away from it where I place all my pedals.

Something like 3 feet tall and 8 feet wide and around 600 something pounds I believe. So, bigger than me in every way except height.

ahem.....

MUHUWAHHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't get it. Those cabs are what, 30" or so wide? That makes about 5' tall. The head maybe another 8"-10". So that means you're what, about 5'5"?

I've yet to use a reasonable rig that is taller than me. The 400+ on top of the 810 earlier isn't close either. What's with the short bassists ?

 

[Bryan Swift]

A bit off topic, but nice lookin' lobes man... We need to start a big lobed club... As in 7/8" and bigger... I call founder if we start one...

A dolly that was about 5 inches off the ground
A Peavey 1820 cabinet
A Peavey 115 cabinet
A Peavey Mark VI head.. making the stack over 6 feet tall. I'm 5'8"... But my hair back in the day added an extra 5 or 6 inches to me.. So I was about the same height with the teased hair.

Oh no. I don't have those cabs, and never will. I was simply commenting on the fact that a cab on it's side is taller than someone.

She looks happy and charming now, but put a few years on, get married to her, pop a few kids and she will be kicking your butt all over the planet. Say goodbye to at least two of those cabs, running with your buds and cards on wednesday night.

Hear do I look fat in this? Do you still love me? and where are you taking me for dinner on Saturday Night?

Then after 30 years with them, you just want to smother them with a pillow, they no longer ask if they're fat because you will answer Fricken Right! They still want to go out to dinner and sex left after the third kid which the second one you swear looks like her old boyfriend.

SEE?

Save yourself now, post the next picture of her butt as she heads out the door.

Singing, If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife....

BOB OUT

You sir, a an effing riot. +1 on that!
