Thanks! That's my Noble. It's my backup, though I'm perfectly content using it as my primary too.
We're basically on top of each other. The stage was tiny. Slightly less than two full sheets of plywood.

There's a Dingwall in that gig bag too. I actually had 3 different people come up and ask me about it, and told me I had a crazy bass rig.

Just looking to see if anyone has had gig results using a BB2 and Two10s at the same time. I have an outdoor gig coming up and I need to decide to either use the Two10s and a One10 or the BB2 and Two10s. I won't have PA support so I need to find the best combination. It'll be powered by a WD800.

Is that 3 x BBII?

Yep. I've had two for 3 years now. We've started getting some bigger outdoor gigs and my band would prefer to keep the setup simple (no subs, so no PA support for me). Last year I found myself pushing the two of them further than I wanted, so I added a 3rd when the opportunity came up.

Three of them are A LOT louder than two of them. Although I was pushing more wattage than usual, I had the master on this particular amp at like 9:00ish rather than 12:00ish...outdoors, in a tent, with a ton of people. At one point the bass was overpowering everybody else so I had to turn it down just to keep the mix decent.

I can't wait to do our beer garden gigs with all three of them. They want rock concert volume levels. We start out LOUD and the manager keeps coming up and telling us to turn up. Without a full blown line array I'm not sure we'll get to the volume he wants, but this should do much better regardless.

A manager who tells you to turn it UP??? What the hell is happening to the world?

The guy has unrealistic expectations about how loud a band can be when said band is supplying their own PA. If they really want what he's asking for, they really need to invest in some serious FOH hardware for this venue.
