Small revision. They hafta set up all the B.S.: drums, PA, monitors, mics/stands, etc.; asked if I'd mind bringing my own bass amp. No problem-o, R200c it is.

Hey hey hey!
Still teleworking and using my AI Corus R as a giant mouse pad. The Mooradian soft case is quite comfortable.

Strange. I had to look up the Combo Room in the “Search” mode in Forums and it stopped for me on 4/25/2021. How weird! It’s now corrected. Thanks.

Two combo amps with a new Acinonyx sporting GHS Balanced Nickels (green silks YAY)
Ahem.
Begging your forgiveness in advance.
WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!
So happy to see you got your beautiful LPB Cat!
Beauty Bass, M! Love the color, shape, and the lining of the case is cool, too.

Ooh, the dynamic duo! You must be thinking it'll be a louder show since you're hauling in the larger artillery.

Naw! If Goner thought he needed his loud rig he'd a took his R200c and his R100 to chain together. Up to 240 watts thru a 15" and a 12"! Pushin' some air!!

Whew, that is one beautiful bass ya got there, Morrighan. You're gonna love that little lady for years to come! Give us your first impressions as soon as you feel you have enough time playing it to do so.
Not really. They were gonna provide me with 2 R100s, chained, but they've got a lotta other[stuff]to set up and it's no BFD for me to bring the 200c.
MOF, I used the 100 at the same place Sunday morning. But this band's a little louder than my 'normal' bunch-and it's Friday night, so...
So, I'm late to this party, but I'm bringing answers with me. Been using an HD 508 for about 3 months now and I can say it's a tiny beast. I've been a fan of 8's since I used a Henry the 8x8 many years ago, so when I saw the HD 508, I had to give it a try. Really glad I did too. Those 8's are articulate, get low enough for a fiver, and that combo gets LOUD! The EQ frequencies are very usable and it takes effects like a champ. Played an impromptu charity event a couple of weeks ago and decided to gamble using the 508 for the gig. ~150 people at a decent sized community center with minimal FOH support and it was slamming. Was plenty loud for the stage and then some without even having to turn it up past 10 o'clock. I ran an LA-1A comp into a Broughton Fliptop and had juicy tone for days. Heavy duty handles and wheels made it easy to load out after, so all in all, I was a happy camper. Hartke nailed it with that one.
The thought occurs to me that I have, thus far, neglected to post an actual photograph of the new Vox. Please, allow me to rectify this egregious oversight.

Oh, yeah, Reccy! Ya been breakin' it in for just over a month now. So, how's it sounding to ya?

I gots 3 days to think about whether I wanna f---* with that. May kinda depend on how hot/humid it is Friday. Figure minimum high 80s on both. Outdoor venue(sorta). Big chickee. Bar, tables, dance area, and stage all under one thatched roof.

Honestly, I love it. With the active pre-amp on the Yammy, I can basically leave the controls at noon and pull any tone at the bass. I’ve gone from bright, shimmery jazz tones to mud pie levels of thump. The Yamaha has Volume, Bridge, Bass, and Treble knobs, plus five presets on a switch, so there are maaaaaany options for tone.
If Vox made this exact amp with a 10-12” driver, at say 150 watts or so, they’d probably have a Rumble-killer on hand.
This makes it so hard for me to tell me I don't need one
Ah, Lady M! If I remember correctly, you like your tone very clean, right?
The Vox does okay with clean, but it’s no PJB. I love it for the opposite reason. I can dial up the gain and turn on the drive to get all those lovely, crunchy, ZZ Top-esque tones.
Still, 50 watts, fits in a shoebox, ten pounds, tube amp? Yeah, totally worth it.
