Blues/Rock Rig

[Bernie Connors]

If you were heading out on tour with a blues & classic rock gig and had to assemble a rig from gear that is currently in production, what would you take with you?

Whatever sounds the best for what I could afford, is loud enough to keep up with everyone easily and isn't too heavy for me to want to have it.

Nice! I'm sure the NV610 would be the ticket. I'm also thinking an Aguilar DB750 with one of the new DB series cabinets would be nice.

The Aggy Sounds Great!


I chose what I did because I know it's rock solid reliable. A huge concern for the road,Plus you could lose one side of the Crest and have the other as a back up!

Whats a NV610?

 

[tombowlus]

Here are a couple of killer rig options (in no particular order):

DB 750, NV610
IP212 or IP310 (with or without preamp)
SA200, SA410 (with a second SA410 or SA210, if necessary)
Preamp of choice, CA9, NV610
iAMP 800, NL-210, NL-210

Depends on the venues a whole lot. If you really mean tour, as in multiple weeks on the road, hauling and maintaining your own stuff. I'd be thinking about pedestrian kind of stuff.

GK 700, 800, 1001 (or equivalent SWR / Ampeg / etc) and either a pair of 2x10's or 1x12's where you get to choose the tonality you're looking for. This stuff has to fit in a truck and has to be generic enough that it's essentially 'overnight' or afternoon replaceable.

You really want to beat up that maybe in or maybe out of production beautiful NV610 (OK - buy a road case and lug the xtra 75 lbs ...) or that DB750 in and out of a bunch of clubs ...

If you really mean 'tour' you err to the side of practicality on tour number two... better yet is a large venue backline spec'd in your tour rider so you get to feed a correspondingly smaller truck ...

 

[TrooperFarva]

NV215, powered by either a 400+, AD200B, or Fender 300 Pro

 

[Rat]

Mesa 400+ and a Mesa 215 RR

+1. And for reliability, take two.

 

[anderbass]

Mesa 400+ w/sus-4 shock case + nv610 w/berg. cab cover

 

[Stubb]

Probably a Mesa 400+ with my LDS 2x12 / 2x6.

I think my rig works great for that kind of gig.Sansamp RBI preamp,Crown CE 1000 and DR Bass 2260,212+6.5 mid cab.For really big rooms add another 2260.One is all I'll ever need though,very portable and loud.
