Hi
Shock, horror title? The best amp I've ever owned and sounds great, but, times have changed
With my old band, a band that played original stuff, loud and proud, it sounded great. The drummer hits hard, the guitarist always has the "it doesn't sound right if its below that volume" line, the DB750 rocked. I've had it with two 4x10's and a 2x12
But now, in my 50th year, we're doing covers, fortunately we have retained part of our original sound, so most numbers get that treatment, but it's still a covers band and we are doing OK at it
So, I'm thinking of downsizing! The weight isn't an issue as much as some find it, but it is heavy. It lives in an aguilar gig bag which does make life easier. Also, I seem to have had an estate car forever! Be nice to have a more compact rig so next time I change my car I don't have to take a bass rig to make sure it fits.
But I still want my bases to sound good, no, sound great!
Its a right old mix we play, The Who, Kaiser chiefs, Bowie, Stereophonics, a bit of ska, bit of funk, you know the kind of thing!
So heres what Im thinking
TH500! My past experience has made me a big fan of aguilar, its quality gear, so thinking of staying there!
Now for the cab choice
The ultimate lightweight option is two SL112, but can they handle the noise the two lunatics I play with put out. We have keys as well
Or maybe two DB112's, pretty much what Ive got with a DB212
Two DB210, this does appeal, like the punchiness of a 4x10 rig
I looked at a DB112 and DB210 combo but the cabs don't look like they match!
I know I'm gonna get a "don't do it" comment here, but I'm thinking its time to move one for a number of reasons!
