Should i use the other bassist's rig?

If he's letting you, by all means, go for it. Sounds like you're passing up an opportunity to use a sweeeeeet rig.

 

Go for it!

Btw, nice playing on that RHCP tune!

 

What is his rig? What's yours?

 

+1 to the Munji. You can rack mount a lot of crappy gear and get a huge rackmount wireless microwave oven rig.

 

Yeah you should deffinatley bring yours just incase

 

I would just use his cause i hate lugging my rig around unless I have to.

 

If you both go to the same school then get his number and see if you can come jam with him and hsi setup for 30 minutes...

I am sure you are cool with him if he is offering this to you so it shouldbe legit...

Maybe just bring your amp and no cabs just in case...

Speakers are speakers to an extent. you are not a national touring band so there shouldn't be major problems where you need a bass tech to dial everything in perfectly for you... it should get the job done with his bass amp of just throwing your amp on his cabs.

 

Based on over 40 years of experience, use what you know works FOR YOU. Using someone else's bass, cord, strap, amp, speaker cabinet(s), etc is only asking for trouble. You should want to feel VERY comfotable and "at home" when you're performing . . . just my $.02.

 

Bring your back line. Better to have it and not need it than wish you had it.

 

If what you have is sufficient, I say stick with that. You will have your own sound.

If you want to bulk up your equipment, use his cabinets. I actually did that once and added a 2x15 to my 4x10 and rocked the socks off a huge keg party... but that's another story.
