My monster Fender rig!
- Thread starter bill_banwell
- Start date
Thats so right; used to have a 50 kg rig in a 20 kg flight on wheels. Roll in, lift off top, play, top back on, roll out. Smooth wheels. No sweat. Rig was like new even after three years on the road. But you need big transport; bus or truck. Nowadays my gear gets more beat up in and out of my car. Its all about that transport
I have the fender 810 pro cab. and ampeg head. the sound is like none other
Killer setup, Bill! You’ve been owning the Rag N’ Bone (Man) gig.
I haven’t used the 810, but I briefly used two of the NEO115’s and have nothing but good to say about them. Really tight and responsive.

Sick rig! Really like your playing with Rag and Bone Man. Keep up the good work!
Very nice rig (and good thing you have a tech to help schlep the stuff around).
Lately, I've been pondering a 500 (weight issue, of course- and SVT head is just too much). Have you compared it to an SVT (please dont' throw hate if you haven't- just trying to get a handle on similarities/differences).
Thanks!

Nice rig!
This talk of roadies, ramps, etc. makes me realize just how hard I work, sometimes.
I am more likely to run into 100 yards of gravel parking lot or mud, followed by stairs.

I've got two of their 410 cabs, and prefer driving them with something closer to 1000w (headroom is good), and just recently realized Fender was making the Bassman 800, but hadn't seen much in TB about this head. I used to have a Bassman tube amp way back in the day, and I'm pretty sure I see one of these in my future ... 
Beautiful rig, nice choice of basses, yeah, I'm drooling too !!!

Nice rig for sure. Quick question, is that a Buttkicker like platform to stand on between tour pedalboard and the amp?
I'm not really sure he needs a buttkicker with an 810 driven by 800w directly behind him

Probably not LOL! I’m wondering if that’s just the case the pedalboard came in. BTW, I have a Buttkicker at church and when you use in ears, it is better than a wall of SVTs. When you start playing below 1st position A, your eyeballs start dancing.
That is a sexy rig. Damn sexy... Loving that Fender Elite P.
Have lightly considered the Fender Neo 810? Have you been happy with it so far?
I mainly use it to feel the drums, I have both snares and kick drum going through it, its perfect for those big festival stages when you're really far from each other, so I can get a good feel of what is going on!
