Jule Amps Monique part 5

Probably my bigger concern is nailing down this 75 minute set of songs I've never played without notes, charts or anything. ;)

Hopefully you're not learning the songs off cheap cassette tapes poorly recorded by your guitarist when he was quite likely stoned. Play...rewind...play...rewind...play...oops, missed it...rewind...ad nauseum. Oh, sorry--wrong century. ;)

Nnnnooooooo. Technology is a wonderful thing.

My bigger problem is that I have a hard time due to 30+ years of loud playing where I have some pitch trouble down low. I end up pinpointing keys, chords and lines up an octave then move them down where they belong. I also play 'brighter' when I practice than where I do when I play live. I don't have a feel yet for if I need to nail down the material note-for-note (I hope not) or if I have leeway to nail the groove and feel and do my own thing with it, or somewhere in between.

The gig is kind of neat though. We're doing the annual St. Lucia roots festival. They fly us down, do full hospitality, we play a set, then the next day we come home. I'll be working with the drummer & guitarist in my band for it. We'll rehearse here, then hit NYC for a full band rehearsal before the flydown.

You too? But you're a young whip! When you reach my age, you'll find that balancing a hearing trumpet while practicing is the most difficult part. That and getting your bass tangled in your walker.

The gig sounds fantastic. Nice break from Syracuse Summer.

I’ve mastered stacking cabs with a walker. I do have to put my hearing trumpet down though.
If I leave it in front of the guitarist’s Twin Reverb he will use it because he thinks he’s not loud enough.
 
Would my ip322 be able to do this?

No. The IP112 has a jack for an extension cabinet, and the IP322 does not. Actually, the only IP cab other than the IP112 that I am aware of that came with an extension jack is the IP153.
