We'll be here all week. Try the veal!
Last night was the first time with the ML112 I was under cab'd for the room. I should have brought a pair:
That doesn't show the high ceilings or the full width of the room. No FOH. Last year we played the same gig but at a different ballroom that was smaller. The good news is that stage volume was fine but bass wasn't pushing out into the room. Luckily for dinner jazz no one gives a damn

What a COOL stage! Bet it was a great party! I don't think I've played many rooms that size without FOH Support. I can imagine you wanted a bit more 'punch and bigger bloom for that room. Bet you got the job done though!

Funny moment #37 of the day - we're in the first tune and our sax playing is wailing (she was mic'd into her own combo amp). A member of the audience in his 70's (my guess) walked up to within a few feet of the stage, slowly looked back and forth, then put his fingers in his ears and motioned to turn it down.
I knew it was going to be an awesome night. At least my car didn't get towed from the loading dock area. Gotta look for the positives in life.
Actually I think a pair of ML112s would have been fine for that room. I just needed a bit more low end support to push into the room. I was plenty loud on stage.
Yep, two cabs horizontal. Much more low end booty... because that crowd obviously needed some more booty!
But such is the life of a gigging musician.
Invariably, its always the oldest people, most sensitive to volume who sit closest to the speakers. What up wit dat?

This makes me think of two things:
"Hey...you kids....get offa my lawn!"
And:
Loading into a club called The Devil's Tail in Junction City Kansas, the club owner, who was about that same age, well over 55, said "what do you boys need all that...electrical mumbo-jumbo for? What do you need all those....speakers for?"
We were booked there for a week.
Turned out alright, most of the customers were military guys, from a nearby base. We were there for the week of the month they got paid.

That's because your gear is great.ALl the other threads get the guys who argue and bicker about the gear.... I get the comedians!
I'm half tempted to bring my Fender 100T to one of your gigs and let you go wild with it.
