I'm not going to lie folks, I thought I'd gone to bass player heaven...until I realised I was going to be DI'd.

LOL I once showed up with my upright for a quiet little jazz rehearsal, where they said that an amp would be provided for me. It turned out to be a giant Ampeg fridge rig. It worked just fine.

Heard James Singleton play with John Cleary in New Orleans last year - amazing upright player. His rig was a Walter Woods on top of a fridge, I thought that was kind of silly and slightly overkill until he started playing. One of the best upright sounds I've ever heard.

Sadly they won't make you breakfast after a long night of grunting and sweating...

Ha ha. Now that I have the Peavey 810 I am hoping I don't always have to be DI'ed, however in doing so I also can just leave that heavy cab at home and just take my bass and amp.

This. They do have volume controls.

Nice!

You should have tried to wheel it out at the end, QUICKLY.

You ever move double your body weight quickly?

I had enough fun moving just an SVT-CL around, that makes my back hurt looking at it...

I much prefer playing an upright through an SVT 810 than an electric.

An NV 610 could be wheeled out in a heartbeat with almost no effort. Seriously.

Yeah, the heads would be more difficult to move than the cab...

...unless there were stairs.

haha. I'm 6'5, 300 lbs, look like an NFL Lineman...so..that's not double my body weight. I have picked up an SVT-CL with one hand and a Berg NV610 in the other, over my shoulder. I just prefer to not.

So, that's technically a Micro Rig of Doom? This changes everything... I'm gonna go do some squats.

Basically, yeah. Either way, drunken 3am load outs are way easier with lighter gear.

As much as I love my SVT, I'm glad our stage volumes are such that I can bring a B-15, have a fairly light rig, and not compromise my revitalized tube snobbery

+1 LOVE the huge woof of an SVT810 with upright.
Ain't too shabby with electric either
;p

Not quite your girth, but at 6'2" and 250, would've had to make a second trip for the Berg.

so... an owner or operator at an establishment actually purchased (or rented) a flame thrower for people to light candles with? cokeheads....
