WWED-What Would Elwood Do?

[Bruiser Stone]

Elwood doesn't play bass, he plays harp.

A Shure bullet microphone and a Sears Sivertone guitar amp, 6 x 12" speakers.

For the purposes of my bleary-eyed thread, he’s versatile.

Elwood is rusty.

Well, if that means Elwood was demoted to bass, he'd go for the Streamliner.

 

[Hundred proof]

Never got to play with Elwood, but did play with Willie “too big” Hall the blues brothers drummer. I used a 73 Jazz with rounds into a Markbass.

 

[micguy]

Elwood had Duck Dunn playing bass for him. I don't think Elwood would be the person to ask bass gear advice from.

Sweet! When was this?

True, but it’s about inspired cadence....

“It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.”

He could NEVER fill those shoes, but I bet he could root-and-fifth in an pinch.

We did a podcast for the Radio Memphis “booze and blues” 10 year anniversary show earlier this year and he came in to sit in ... audience count was over 250k fun night.

I didn't vote cause would be between the Ampeg SVT Classic or GB Streamliner. Both are AWESOME!

 

[Rip Van Dan]

You’ve got a old P Bass, TI Jazz flats, Rotosound rounds, a 4-ohm Genz Benz Uber 410 rated up to 1000 watts, a budget that includes any of the amps mentioned, and you’re wearing sunglasses...go!

I'd get a DNA-800 amp (800-watts rms into 4 ohms). Plenty of power to throw into your Genz-Benz 410. I has a really clear, full, and articulate sound, just like the DNA cabs have. Plus has a great compressor, mute switch, etc., and it only weighs 4.8-lbs. Street price is ~$799.

If you have about $1,450, you can buy its big brother the DNA-1350 (1,350-watts rms into 4 ohms) with more power, a side chain effects loop besides the normal effects loop. Below is a video where BassMusicianMagazine.com does a review of the DNA-800 and they very nicely go through all the features. They are playing through a DNS-210 cab by DNA and it sounds great. I have that cab myself and it does indeed sound great. Anyhow, I've cued it for you to the part where he goes through the amp. It's definitely worth your consideration:

Elmwood would just keep singing Rawhide!

Hey, I didn’t include “buy chicken wire” as a poll option!

 

[Bruiser Stone]

I like the two votes for “Elwood should stay put....” They should’ve never met with The Penguin.

 

[Spyrosaab]

I voted the quilter as less weight in the car would make the gas last further

 

[SwitchGear]

I hate illinois nazi's

 

[pellomoco14]

Elwood would probably just plug into the aux input of the car radio or use a backline.

Elwood also does a convincing Tammy Wynette...talk about versatile!

With the utilitarian shape and red stripes, it kinda has that official emergency-vehicle vibe, too.

I hate ‘em, too, but did you know they can fly? What a waste.

This is probably the most accurate comment thus far. Something with a lot of ratty cables, probably a Peavey somewhere in the chain.

Let’s not get carried away....
