Let me know when - I'll open the windows and listen.
I'm only a few states away so should be able to hear pretty well.

Should Tom Bowlus hook up all his cabinets at once?
- Thread starter Bassflute
- Start date
Best poll I have ever seen....
Actually though, and seriously, I would pay AT LEAST $50 for a picture of everything setup and matched as close as possible in one big bass rig backline whether it made ANY sound or not...I would even chip in to have all the stuff moved somewhere that it could happen!! Setup all the cabs with heads on them and amp racks full of amps, basses setup on stands nice and neat just like it was a normal stage setup for some rock star nutcase.....SERIOUSLY!!! Talk about gear porn...TomB is THE Hugh Heffner of gear!!!
If I were Tom I would then use my contacts in Bass Player and other media to get the pic inside and then sell it for $19.95 a copy or $24.95 signed by Mr Bowlus himself...I'd buy at least 2 myself for my office and studio....I am NOT joking here guys....I think it is a genius idea...Just think Tom, you could actually wind up making enough money off of it to recoup your entire investment in all that gear....
I forgot to mention Pay-Per-View.....
Did I stress enough that I was serious!!??
Peace,

I'd imagine it would be so loud that it would instantly kill us.
Like that scene in Dogma where God speaks and that dude's head explodes.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
Doood.. I'd call the local utility to be sure you have enough service .. it would REALLY suck to play a lick and cause a BLACKOUT.. then all your gear would get looted...
that would certainly make the papers and evening news.
then all your gear would get looted... that would certainly make the papers and evening news.Tom, insure your home, plug in, blow it off the foundation. Then build a brand new home on the fully repaired foundation that the insurance companies paying for.
Greetings from the North,

You know, that's not a bad idea!
Lesseee....about 50 cabinets, average 8 ohms each; 400 ohms in series, .160 ohms in parallel, or maybe a 7x7 series/parallel to maintain 8 ohms?
He posted a shot a while back with a stage load of EA gear- it was insane. Like an EA PA system or something.
that alone was nuts, I couldnt imagine seeing his stable of IP gear in the mix.
So, yeah, I'd be in for one signed pic for my desk.

Only if he points them all my way. I'll set all my stuff up and we could play the theme from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind 
(the part where they talk to the space ship with sounds and go back and forth )
