fender73 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Hi, interested to hear what rigs any of you out there use when gigging pubs or small venues without pa support. Thanks Graeme Quote
winterfire666 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) barefaced s12t and TC RH750, no pa required,obscenely loud, i have never had it past about 10:45 on the master and i like to be LOUD! even when there is a decent rig its sometimes better just to let the cab do the work and not bother with a DI out (Depending on the room of course) Edited June 28, 2013 by winterfire666 Quote
Mudpup Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Gallien Krueger MB Fusion or Hartke LH500 heads Barefaced Big One cab Occasionally add a second cab (GK 212MBE until my second Barefaced turns up) but very rarely need to as its plenty loud enuff. Playing pubs and medium sized clubs mainly in a noisy rock covers band with 2 geetards. Edited June 28, 2013 by Mudpup Quote

fender73 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Also, do you have your cabs raised up at all? On a chair/stand etc? Quote
deanovw Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Thunderfunk TFB-550 Barefaced Super Twelve Not raised. I always have an Auralex Gramma pad on hand for boomy stages though. Edited June 28, 2013 by deanovw Quote

Happy Jack Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Use an Auralex Gramma Pad ... many pubs have wooden floors, many wooden floors are boomy, at one pub I play regularly I have to set up on the double hatch that leads down to the cellar! Quote

You haul the dwarf and the booze out along with the cab. Brilliant, eh? Unless of course the dwarf drinks the booze during your set, in which case all you'll have to show for it is a pissed dwarf. And who can honestly say they've never had that happen of a weekend? I certainly can't. Edited June 28, 2013 by discreet Quote
mep Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 TE AH200 with 2 cabs. See sig. Plenty loud with bags of headroom. Quote

You would need part of the the 8x10 to produce a bit of noise , so may end up with a deaf pissed dwarf Edited June 28, 2013 by lurksalot Quote

xgsjx Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Most of my gigs are without PA support for the bass. I used to have a 2x15 rig & after trying a few different things, I found all I need is a good 2x10 combo. Easy in & out from venues. Combo in one hand, pedal board in the other, laptop sized bag for wires & bass in gigbag slung over my shoulder. Quote

Dad3353 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 PA or not, our bass rig is the same: Hiwatt DR203 (200w valve PA amp...) into Ampeg SVT410HE. Next outing (13th July...) we'll probably try out our newly acquired H/H 2x15 Folded Horn ('Giggles'...). Quote
Truckstop Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 One or two SWR Workingmans 10's. I mainly play pubs and small clubs with a medium volume blues band. I gave up carting 4x10's around a couple of years back; you simply don't need lots of speakers and lots of watts in those situations! You just need to be clever with your EQ and train your drumist to chill out and stop hitting things too hard! Truckstop Quote
rOB Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Gk mb500 into orange sp210 on an amp stand. Works a treat, got told to turn down on Thursday night. Quote

k50 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Gramma pad ,two barefaced big babies with a TC Blacksmith . Will also do medium clubs without any difficulties and I probably only need one cab for pubs but its always more fun with two . Quote
