Decided to start taking pics of the rented amps I get supplied on fly gigs as an ongoing thread, and we're starting with a real doozy! Today I'm at Queens College in Queens, NY playing a show with Bowzer. This is the amp they supplied:

Now look, I like Hartke amps and Larry is an awesome friend, but even though I'll be the last person to call myself a bigshot, at least make it a 3500 and a 410!

Meh.. it's only for the bass player, what do you expect? :hiding:;)

Alan Jackson was in town here a few months back, and the backlined bass rig was an SVT CL and one of the newer Traynor 8x10 cabs.

Last one I played had an SVT CL and a SVT 410 HLF.

Is that Hartke a 15? Can't quite tell from the photo.

Side fills...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

But seriously, Bowzer doesn't like side fills anyway, so even if they had them, they wouldn't use them. But I'll make do. Like Torin said, I've used smaller. They just work better than this one.

Tomorrow should be better...they always bring me an SVT-CL. I just hope they bring the 810e instead of the 410he they always bring.

Now you can't go telling everyone on TB now that all they need to gig is a Hartke 12 or 15in cab :D

I love those 3500's. They're cheaply attainable, bulletproof, and, they sound awesome.
