Whoops...I typed DR instead of GR in a previous thread. Mods, would you please delete the "DR AT110" thread?
Hey all....I just picked this GR AT110 cabinet (thanks Ben Rolston!) and took it out on its first gig last night. Just myself and a pianist. About as nekkid as you can musically get.
Used a Clarus SL on a mic stand and the GR cab placed on a chair about 5 feet from me to get a better read on the cab. Just a hybrid flatback and a FC with Spiros. So far, I am really, really digging this cab! IReal Pro and standards all night, I never felt I needed to work hard to be heard! I was actually not as tired at the end of the night!
Next to a Trickfish 110, the Trickfish was a slightly better sounding freestanding cab (ESPECIALLY for electric bass), but on the gig is where the GR's tight and very even response got my attention. It reminds me a little of the Wizzy cabs, but with a fatter bass. I could hear every note with a full roundness; so much so that the pianist, a grizzled old jazz veteran commented on how easily he could hear me and he thought that I had a mic on the bass.
It's stupid light....as in, it feels like an empty cab. Freakish, almost. It sounds GREAT, but beyond that, it truly is a joy to handle.
I am hoping this isn't just new gear excitement. I truly like the way that this cab performed on the gig, and the fact that it clocks in at 10 pounds is just the icing on the cake! Definitely a great purchase!
