A little more action from my newbie....Metro RV5 in NVT. I am SO loving this bass. :D

A few clips. Stage mix was rough, but I understand FoH was much better....soon to be confirmed or denied via youtube. M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 on my music stand. 24/96 wav > 320kbps mp3.

Jerry, That is awesome that the new bass is working so well for you. It's a beauty and sounds just killer in the mix and solo.

Also, REALLY nice field recordings. That little recorder sounds great. And the playing...I really like your feel, and the way that you comp. I wish that this Jerry could play like that.:hmm::)
 
Thank you so much.

To answer your question, yes, they use stage rigs there, and in my case, I was borrowing Cory's (TB:Saluki) Bergantino AE410, driving it with my Markbass F1. But there's also a full PA with subs, so a DI line was also being used. I do play in another church, however, which is smaller, but the same kind of very progressive/contemporary theme, and they do use strictly IEM's/DI on stage (though still a full PA with subs for the FOH). That church uses an Aviom system for stage monitoring, and I have some dual and also now some triple driver IEM's I use there. Oh, and the Sadowsky sounds phenomenal through those, too. :D

Vic, how di you find the AE410 compared to your stack of 2 x AE210s ?

I definitely like the stack better, but not enough to generally recommend everyone spend 1500 vs 1100 on it. I like the modularity, and I like how they're taller and shallower on some smaller stages... especially tall if you put them on end. The tone is "too close to call" regarding any real diffs, so it gets me a lot more flexibility.

+1 I've owned both an AE410 and 2 AE210. I really could not hear any major differences in tone...maybe very subtle...Nothing you would ever hear in a real world setting. Like Vic...I stayed with the AE210 route just for the flexibility but the cost is pretty steep to do it.
 
I sold my AE410 last year and bought (2) AE210's. Loved the AE410, probably one of the best 4x10's out there, but humping it up and down the basement steps 2 or 3 times a week took its toll on my mature body! I don't notice any real difference in the sound.

It is also so much easier to manage two cabinets than one and the added flexibility is great, because you can only take one when needed. I also stack mine vertically, takes up less room on stage and I can even hear myself! I would highly recommend, but as someone said earlier, the investment is higher for two of these than one AE410.

Highly recommended!

This is also a key point I forgot to mention. I also store all my stuff in my basement, so everything I take to gigs has to go up and down my basement stairs. Sometimes I get my son to help out, but it's not all the time, and a 410 is just a bit much for me at this point. I can do it, but it's just not worth it if there's an alternative, and it's a big enough deal to me that it counted for a lot of my personal justification for the extra cost, too.
