bassmayhem Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) For tomorrow's gig I asked my guitard: "Shall I use one or two?" Without hesitation he said "TWO!" That demands an explanation. We are gigging on one of the town's bigger stages, with massive PA support. Massive! Still, it is nice to have a lot of air pressure behind the back, so I go for a twin 810 setup with two tube heads. Necessary? Heck no! Will it feel good and look good? Absolutely! They are not identical, but close enough. I have to work a bit with getting the cabs equally high. Just for visual appearance. The Super Bassman into Bassman 810 Neo, daisy-chained to Bassman 100T into Hughes & Kettner 810, masked as a Fender cab. Jule Amps Monique in front of everything. This is surely the first and last time I do a stupid thing like this, but I can always blame the guitard: "You said I should!!!" 😁😁😁 Edited September 6, 2019 by bassmayhem 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 And play a short-scale bass just to make the stack look even bigger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played my 37" - 34" fan fret Payson bass. It sounded HUGE. The bass was nearly zero in the PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you really only use the 100T, . . . in 25 watt mode!! Always take two!!! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
