My First Rig for $200 CAD ($150 USD)
- Thread starter michael_t
- Start date
At 67 I have no intention of hauling that thing around. The deal I made with the pastor of that particular church campus I bought it from is for me as the owner to keep it there on a semi-permanent basis so I can make use of it every time I play there.
Meanwhile, I'll be looking for a pair of compact and light-weight 112 cabs.
NYC noise band Unsane’s bass player used to tour with a 400RB for that goodness. I was on a tour where I subbed for the headliner and preferred my 400rb to their 800rb for just that reason - it broke up better at good stage volumes. They still insisted I use their rig because it was taller or had their name stenciled on it or whatever.
The master of strings is now the master of deals! 
For real though man, great deal! Looks hot!

"Only" is a tricky word, because decibel is a log scale. You can easily hear the difference between 95dB and 98dB.
Although you're right -- it's not as impressive a change in volume than it seems. Depending on the volume the amps are used at the difference between a 200 Watt and 400 Watt amp could be in the headroom available for audible peaks (the string pluck), rather than the level of the average loudness (the string sustain after the pluck).
I thought this was a classified add at first, and I was thinking "this is too cheap to not be a scam."
I randomly use my Traynor SB 200 with my two GK Neo IV 112 and this combination REALLY rocks ! Your SB 500 will shake the walls, no doubt.
I almost got a peavey 810 for free. In the county dump but before I could get to it they bulldozed it. I caught up with the guy on the weight scale line and he said, it was still working just wanted to get rid of it. We laughed as a result. I did not have a place for it anyway.
You did real well. The drivers (if functioning and I strong urge you to check that out before powering up) could be worth 3 times what you paid for the whole rig.
I've used the rig a couple of times already and everything seems to be working fine. The 610 cab had an Ampeg SVT-3Pro sitting on top of it till it was stolen a couple of months ago.
+3 dB is a 100% increase in SPL, which is barely perceptible to human hearing.
To sound twice as loud you need 10x the power. For a 300 watt amp that means you’d need 3000 watts to sound twice as loud.

I just had my first outing with my new Traynor SB500H, hooked up to my 610 cab. And I loved it!
This 610 cab is at one of the church campuses I regularly play at. And that's where it's going to stay; I have no intention of hauling this beast around.
I have ordered a couple of Fender Rumble 210's to be kind and gentle to my back.
