Possibly meant to indicate the level in dB? But relative to what... plus a true dB volume control is not silent at zero...

To paraphrase Nigel Tuffnell, it's 17 more.

Yesterday afternoon outside pub gig.

 

Acinonyx bass straight into the GR Bass Dual 1400 and 2x12 cab.

Sounded very clean with a ton of punch.

How do you decide which amp to take to your gig?

I use the Forte , but go in the effect return and bypass the preamp and tone stack. I have a Monique preamp , so I have a 700 watt class D tube  combination. I usually use Bergantino cabs. I have a 210 and 112 , and most of the time the 112 is more than I need. 
It’s a really nice combination , and easy to move , sounds wonderful. The little heads are home or rehearsal use. Although I’m sure they could carry a mid sized room without any problems. The Forte gives me clean transparent power , with a ton of headroom.

Now , the little Darkglass head just arrived today. And it totally exceeded my expectations. It can deliver far more distortion than I’m likely to use , but I’ve been spinning the knobs and getting a good idea of what it can do. I’m liking it slightly warm but below the point of distortion. I’ve tried various cabs with it , and it just loves the BareFaced One10. That’s a great little cab. I even dragged out my old Ric. It had been a while. The old girl still sounds gorgeous. Recently I’ve been playing a big hollow body Gretsch a lot. And there was some magic there. So I’ve been in amp nerd heaven. The M200 is one great little amp.

Vanderkley 210MNT + 210LNT (2.7 ohm total) + Glockenklang Heart Rock II = 1000 watts of Glockenesque Klanginess.

In the words of Dylan Thomas: "what will the neighbours say?!"  I suspect it will be difficult to hear them!

Seer Green Beer fest tonight.  First outing in anger for Mesa TT800.  Not convinced it beats a Handbox for vintage sound yet.  Needs a bit of work on the two channels with the Fender through the valve channel and the Wal through the clean channel.

Mad to think that the quiet rig looks louder than the loud one!

Quite right.

The GR Bass rig is 700w, the Ashdown 100w.

I like my sound clean so the Ashdown is only used at sub break up levels from the power tubes. It's warm and fat.

One of these days I’d love to pick up one of those basses.

It's a fantastic bass. Light weight and easy to play. I found it is built to the price point ( £1000 ) so has a few cosmetic flaws in the paint and frets. I sold it with in a few weeks when I discovered Serek basses.
