Bassist wanted - with a "4K rig"

[solo4652]

I've read this ad a few times now and I'm fairly sure they're saying they want a bassist with a "4K rig". 4000W !? [url="http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/hype-need-a-bass-player-t541098.html"]http://www.joinmyban...er-t541098.html[/url]

Maybe there's a lot of call for covers bands on the stadium scene? I don't know them, so I couldn't comment - beyond suggesting they should also seek a typewriter with a SHIFT key

I thought that was funny, so I'll get my coat in advance...

Fairly confident they're describing their own PA.

I think they were talking about their PA rig, but the last line creased me up..... .

At risk of spoiling the fun, I think they mean that the band have all pro gear and a 4K rig. Seems quite obvious to me.

If he was in Cornwall I'd give him a massage though, tbh.

Lazy add. 'Booking for the rest of the year'. So you only have one gig to do this year?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this was on purpose.

I once had a 5000W rig.

Powered by a Yamaha P5000S power amp.

The cabs wouldn't have survived if I'd turned it up though.

[JapanAxe]

Did they mention the happy ending? It's part of the initiation...

Is that a euphemism ?

I have always thought the Yamaha product names a bit odd in this regard , a P5000S is rated at 500W/channel into 8 ohm cabs , it might not have scared the cabs as much as you thought it would
