Not all of us. Don't project. C'mon, brah. Don't hide. If you're doing a gi-normous World Tour (TM), stand up proud. We'd all love to come see your tube-a-licious, stacked-to-the-rafters, wicked-feedback-generating, make-yer-bass-asplode, pants-flapping rig first-hand.

(As long as it's not Peavey...)

hey, I'm not anon either, it's easy to decode who I am in real life, the D is for David, here's the link:

Yes, that's my day job. I play bass in local clubs at night after the matches. I use an upright bass worn just like a regular Fender bass and two Ampeg 810s and a Peavey 400. Load in/out is simple, just two trips, one with the bass and amp, then repeat with one 810 cab under each arm, piece of cake.
 
it not personal dude but anon is a good way to be on my own time, im way too shy to pop on here! and seriousssly? is a troll when y'all dont believe someone? bunck of jelly fish seems like, except some of those cool mega stacks i've been looking at.:ninja:

Some folks just want you to reveal yourself. They don't understand your mission.

I understand how being famous can be difficult, but this just a warmup. Wait till the paparazzi get all up in your face on GiNam comeback Global tour. So this is good practice.

You just want good advice, and I'm happy to see that you see that you are getting some here on TB.

I know all your band mates are probably laughing at us here on TB, but dood, you gotta realize that if they realized who were, there would be no more realization necessary.

Now have Jerry secure the weed, and let Mikey handle the load in.

And I know the amp mod you did, sick stuff! Those 300's will blow your balls off with that 4x8x10

As an engineer, I think we should be looking for the most efficient and cost effective solutions to the OP's request for more stage wind.

Two models, first, the modern hybrid version (tube pre, ss amp):

Then the second choice, all tubes vintage sound:

Maybe mix them, put one type on each side of the drummer?


I like this^^

I couldn't find any funny picturrs. When I searched "windy stage" all I got was a bunch of 'roided up dudes riding bicycles.:confused:
 
WORLD TOUR.who said anything about world tour. heres a map of the tour 18 is going on.right 18?

On the spaceship superstar!!

I am pretty sure Prism are Canadian famous, so not everybody might get that joke so I linked the video. Warning extremely cheesy 80's rock will ensure after clicking that link. I hear this song a few times a week still... ahhhh Cancon...
 
OP: Maybe this will fit the bill. You want volume and air, right? Why not get four 8x10 cabinets, but only use two of them for sound. The other two can be gutted of their speakers and have 10" fans put in their place. Voila!

Edit: Also, the two fan-cabinets will have to have open backs for proper air circulation :)
