Ashdown little bastard

[deanbean502]

Has anyone giged one of these yet?

I have few gigs coming up and i am worried it isn't going to be able to cope, I didn't buy it with the intentions of gigging it.

At that time I wasn't in a band and it was only for home and studio use.

Depends how big and loud your band is, but I use mine with the Ashdwn LB212 cab and it does the job no problem.

There's always the DI out too...

I've used one with a 4x10 Hartke cab with Aluminium drivers, sounded great and had plenty headroom for a reasonably sized pub. It is primarily made for sounding awesome at lower volumes, but I had no problems even so competing with a full band. As walbassist said though, it's got a nice, clean DI out.

I gigged mine last Fri in our 8 pice Funk/soul band (hard hitting drummer & keys player who sticks his fingers in his ears when we get too loud :-) Was in a Med sized club with about 250-300 ppl -so club was moderately full - I had The LB-30 DI'd but only needed a little in the PA as I was cranking it ONstage (Keyboardist had his fingers IN the ears towards the end as the vol crept up) It sounded great. Didn't have much heardroom left-if any- but it did the job wonderfully!

Thanks for all your replies guys
