Really easy to get great tones just turning the contour knobs …. Plus for fine tuning you still have bass, semi para mid and treble.
I anxiously await the opportunity to use my BA10-3 and BA12-3 stacked with the MG350 or the MG800. Such a great sounding rig.
I use the single with the 350 for home practice. But my band is rather loud and two TV12s with the 800 gives me all the headroom I need to play gently and still be Thor’s hammer when needed.
Love that natural EBMM Caprice! I have a heritage tobacco burst Caprice. A sleeper bass for sure. They sound great through the my Genzler set up. Must be super articular through the BA cabs.
Yeah, it's a very cool bass to be sure. I almost sold it a few weeks ago but better judgement prevailed in the form of my wife (what?) telling me that the fact I wasn't sure I wanted to sell it meant I needed to keep it!
In that situation I would have just disconnected the 15 and played only through the 2-10 cab, which should have been enough situated in that corner. I would imagine having some sort of buffering/decoupling always with you for your rig would come in handy.Yeah, it's a very cool bass to be sure.

As for the gig, I had a HELL of a time getting a decent tone in the room. There wasn't a single piece of anything to deaden the sound and from where I stood (about 5 feet in front of the rig) it sounded awful. Walking out into the room and it sounded a little better but man, some notes were way too loud, others almost inaudible. I wound up putting a sweatshirt under the 15 and I think it helped a bit. The floor was hard, no elevation and solid. Would something like the studio isolation foam helped dramatically? Do you all carry it to gigs? What else should I have to be better prepared for places like this?
Something like this?
Isn't it amazing how virtually every gig winds up getting things put into my Amazon shopping cart???

Nice "family" shot.
Good point and I should have thought of that. The acoustics made my rig way overkill for that room but I'm always fighting my Marshall toting guitarists (well, Blackstar and Boogie to be precise). But you get the picture. In this case, less would have been more for sure.
I’ve never had to deal with that sort of playing situation, where trying to project my sound while competing with screaming guitars.
