First GIG - Outdoor Deck - What equip. to take?

[LowDown Hal]

I did a search but came up blank.

I have an Mesa M-Pulse600 that usually sits on top of an Ampeg 410HLF. So far none of this has left the practice room.

I also have an LMII which used to sit on top of a MarkBass Traveler 102P and went with me to jams.

Now I rehearse in the same basement several times a month and sometimes jam in various locations. Therefore I picked up a Dr. Bass NEO-212V. Now I usually leave the small 2x10 in the basement and take the 212 around with me to jam at ground level locations.

Anyway, I'm actually playing with the jam groups at an outdoor deck BBQ/Block Party thing. We intend to use a PA for voice and everyone else will rely on their equipment. Drums, keyboard, and 2-3 guitars.

So what do I take?
I could use both by slaving the LMII to the M-Pulse but that seem like way overkill?



THANKS

Do you think the LMII pushing a 4ohm 212, with no PA support, would be enough?

It's a deck fronting a big back yard. I'm guessing fewer than 200 people...

is the markbass 102p 8ohm or 4 ohm?

8 ohm - unfortunatley

Dump 1 or 2 guitars and you'll be fine with whatever you bring. No band needs more than 2 anyway.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet need 3 guitarists.

The LMII and the 212 will be plenty. Go with what sounds best to you, though. If you really dig the Mesa/Ampeg setup, and you can handle the logistics (load in/out, stage area), run with it. The guitarists will undoubtedly get louder as the beer flows, so the 410 rig won't be overkill.

+1 For the Ampeg/Mesa setup. Projection, Power, Headroom and on a wooden deck nice stage coupling.

Maybe I'll sell the 410HLF and get an SVT810E.
Think 600 watts is enough to drive the fridge

your thoughts....
