Gig w/Ampeg Backline
- Thread starter DWBass
- Start date
Hi,
I apologize for my part in derailing this thread. It started off as a nice little "Hey! I played with a decent back line!" kind of thread. It gave us all something to talk about and share experiences.
Mr. modulus man has chosen to feud with me over my choice of PA gear and never lets me forget that I am wreaking all kinds of havoc because of it; loss of high fidelity sound everywhere, patrons walking out of clubs all over the country, the increased usage of DJs for wedding receptions, and hunger in the third world.
I admit that I kind of picked on him in this thread. I thought it was all in good fun. I can take some good-natured razzing. I'm not that full of myself. But I'm beginning to think that I've really offended Mr. modulusman with my PA. I don't know what to do about it. I can't afford another one. Everyone who's heard it loves it. Whatever shall I do?
Again, I apologize.
But, to get back on topic (sort of), I also think turning your amps sideways on stage is a silly thing to do. With a good soundman and a band that plays at an appropriate stage volume, everything should be golden. Too many people like to play too loud on stage. Just let the sound system do the work to fill the room.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

Ah....I read that book...and ran spotlight for a play of it, but that was in the '80's. I don't remember the line or even if it was supposed to be some sort of insult or what.

The reason I give you crap about your PA is because you ignored everyones advice and bought 215 cabs. But hey it is your money. Maybe you should go tell the guy at the RANCH he is an idiot for spending all that money on production since a pair of 215s and a powered mixer is "good enough".
LOL! For what it's worth, I always look forward to Modulusman's arrival on any thread discussing sound! He and Brad Johnson always deliver!! As for PA's.....I get what I can afford! Bottom line. What I have has always worked just fine for the small gigs in bars, restaurants and clubs. Honestly, does one really need to haul (or buy) $10k worth of PA for a bar gig?
For the bigger gigs.....I hire a soundman!
As for the side fill setup......I get it. Was just saying I never encountered it before when it comes to stage amps. I have experienced PA cab side fills.
