That's the standard extension cab for the Stage 800. If you get it (same cab) with the grey grill, it's a standard extension for the R500. Sizes match for stacking.
Yeah the black grille designates it as the 800 line of amps and cabs. Dunno why they didnt match the 115 cab too @vancamp to match my 500C..very odd planning by Fender
Sooner or later you'll want (or should want) to jam with someone else. You'll quickly discover that the 40 is not a waste.
What's a "sound guy"(we haven't had FOH since 2015).
The clubs don't pay enough for us so a sound guy would leave us playing for free-not happening.
I use mine on our restaurant/lounge gigs. It's plenty.
True. With our group, if the one guitarist brings his PA, he runs it. If I bring mine, I run it. His is 1 or 2 Bose l1's, set up so they serve as both mains and monitors. Mine is a JBL EON One, set up behind us, again as main and monitor. We hear the same thing the audience hears-only a microsecond sooner.Truth be told, neither can we. When there isn’t a sound guy, our guitar player pinch hits.
I knew a guy who had an old EB-0 that didn't work. He kept it on stage(stringless)as a [potential]club.
Very interesting! Just looked this unit up (Mud Stand Mini — Mud Stand). Is it totally made of foam? It does not fold up in any way correct? How is its durability? Thanks for the idea.
Well this conversation most likely belongs in the "Band Management" thread. I usually recorded rehearsals and shows. For some shows I also recorded video for posting selected ones on the band's website (links to YouTube) which I created. Being both an historian by education and a software engineer by profession it was a natural thing to do (I still listen to recordings I did in the '90s and so glad I took the effort to record them). The guitarist did not like some of the earlier ones so to make a long story short, eventually gave me so much grief that I just stopped doing it. He is a Facebook person (I am not) and posted videos done by his family and friends on Facebook (some he shared with the rest of the band). Quality was horrible. I have no idea what else he has been posted. Now I have the website just link to the Facebook account.
25 vs 40: there are some here that gig with a 40, so that little extra power/bigger speaker could come in handy for years to come. Aside from that; the 40 has the same 3 shape buttons and 4 band EQ, XLR out AND variable OD of the “big” Rumbles- All super useful features, and the main reason I’d recommend the 40.
