Can anyone compare the NU classic 15 to the BA15? I had a pair of the BAs and regret letting go of them. Not sure if the 210+15 Nu Classic stack will scratch the itch or if I should go back to the BAs.

@Joeykun sweet rig! What’s your feeling on 410-3 + 115-3 vs 410-3 + 210-3 for the 5 string?

When I'm not playing DI/IEM gigs (I don't play very big venues compared to others here even though I do 90% of my gigs this way) I use an MG350/12T-V Combo. It looks like we may be starting a "splinter band" (not using our lead vox from the pop cover band) to do some "instrumental jazz type" gigs at some small local venues. The Genzler combo will be great. Not sure which bass. I'll probably start with the Roscoe Classic P but if I need a B string I may break out the Roscoe Century 5, or maybe the Sadowsky 5JJ. We'll see where the music leads. I guess my basses aren't affordable but ther combo amp fits the quoted post.So i'm seeing all these posts/pics of monster rigs, big venues, lots of expensive instruments, etc etc. Cool beans for sure - but how about some posts about those of us at the other end of the spectrum: amp and small cab, affordable basses, small venues...you get the point. I use an MG800, NuClassic112, and a G&L passive "P" bass. Haven't played out since the pandemic shut things down but did lots of small winery tasting rooms and folk clubs. Somehow reading about all these wonderful tremendous rigs and zillion dollar basses is not inspirational for me...yes, i have become grumpy in my golden years...

I love seeing the big rigs and basses! Very inspiring to me to see Genzler gear out there for people to see and HEAR how exceptional it is. Have barely been out except for work. Have had a couple VERY small and limited jams. The feedback on my small rig and bass is always very good. People are blown away by the compactness of the rig compared to its phenomenal sound!So i'm seeing all these posts/pics of monster rigs, big venues, lots of expensive instruments, etc etc. Cool beans for sure - but how about some posts about those of us at the other end of the spectrum: amp and small cab, affordable basses, small venues...you get the point.

I know. I’ve seen a few FB post of yours. Family is looking like SD is treating you all well. I’ve added a Roscoe Classic P and sold the fretless. Added a Sadowsky 5JJ as well.Steve!!! Long time no see my friend! Long time no see that Roscoe either...can't believe it's been four years since I moved to SD!!!

best way to fix that for everyone is ….
Post your rig! Love to see it. And if you do go through this thread - there are tons of posts with smaller rigs and people showing off just the head even for DI/IEM rigs.
that’s one of the things that’s great about the Magellan - it scales up so well. Sounds great at any volume and can drive a single 10 to six 10’s or 3 - 15s and anything in between.
I bet your G&L sounds massive through your Magellan
I had the MG30/BA10-2 combo for a while. Loved it. Wanted just a little bit more and for the head to be up a little higher. The MG350/12T-V is perfect for me...for now. If I ever need more volume I'd probably add another 12T-V.“Small” power line up here. 350/10. Portability, cuts through like a knife. Re/Q adjusts for the room or outside. I also have the 12TV just ‘cause!
