NAD: SVT-CL / 810e
- Thread starter 29A
- Start date
Every bass player should own one at least once, even if only for a little while. It's not for everybody long term. But you need to pull up to a gig and load out the fridge at some point. You need to fear no guitar player. You need to feel that tight low mid punch on the back of your legs. If you haven't played a rock song in front of a good crowd with a solid drummer and your back up against an SVT/810 rig, you really should find a way to make it happen... if only once. I highly recommend it.
Congrats on your rig and welcome to the club. Your red velvet jacket awaits you in the lounge.

Thanks, I'm pretty stoked to play through it more!
Can someone hip me to those gizmos to hang my bass from that sits between the top of the cab and the head?

Enjoy! And don't sweat the schlep too much. There are ways of making it easier, plus it only lasts for a couple minutes at a time where some gigs can last hours.

Saturday I got a nice complement from The Sanctuary's sound guy...they have a PA up in the rafters mainly for piped in music...it's a medium sized nice place...they put the vocals into it and leave the rest to the amps...they do a good job.
First off...we have too much going on with these guys. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many guitars. 2 sometimes 3 (one's acoustic) one of the gui---ds doubles on keys at times which makes me want to take a machete to his left hand. Drummer is my brother who's pretty darn good and has a good sense of dynamics...but he can lose it beat the snot out of those things at times too. But they all sing, and pretty good together, must say my brother's the best of the bunch though he's not the featured singer. Their voices fit well together. So we're kind of stuck.
It can get loud. And the stuff we do, kind of adult alt and some classic stuff doesn't call for that volume.
We're setting up and me and the sound guy are bs'ing and he says "holy s--t, dragging that SVT around?". I said it's about tone, and it ain't that bad, look what the drummer carries around. I move the thing myself. He says "yep you got a point, gotta have the tubes".
Afterward we're breaking down, and after I've calmed down about how I'd like to quit because of how GD loud these knuckleheads are he comes up...and after thanking him for doing a nice job he says...
"ya know, when I saw you rolling that thing in here I said 'oh man...not one of these things... this'll is gonna be a challenge' but you really know how to control that rig...it's nice to work with someone who's not a goofball".
You are going to love that rig. And moving it ain't that bad.
