One rig for everything?

[msb]

I keep looking at 350 or 500 watt Aguilars with a single twelve. They’re a lovely combination , and I would certainly appreciate one. It would cover both gigs that were not overly loud , and playing at home. There’s a ton of used stuff around , sometimes for a good price. I’ve even watched some come and go on the local market.

I also already have a bunch of amps , and cabs. But I look at amps and cabs in a similar way some look at guitars. There’s room for both Teles and Les Pauls in my shed.

I have a Boss ME90B and a Zoom B6, I am looking to pair either up with a Headrush 112FRFR then bleed the signal through the PA, might this work for a rock covers band?

As long as you are using the pa to do the main sound out front and are using the Headrush as a monitor, it will be fine. I haven`t used the Boss or Zoom  but I imagine it will do the job.

 

I think it is/was @gafbass02 that used a similar set up? Could be wrong though.

Yeah, I use three headrush Frfr 112s for everything. They do Pa and monitor for solo acoustic gigs, one or two act as fold back for me at festivals if I don’t want to trust the house guy with my iems mix. (99% of gigs are on iems with a cover band with our own sound guy) they also do guitar duty for the odd rock gig when I’m on guitar. They really are all I need. Wish I could afford QSCs like our foh rig, but I can’t

The only people with any interest in your rig are other bass players. 😉

Nobody cares, and we are all going to die anyway!

 

Why even bother playing?

 

Quit while you got that choice, and use your time on something useful instead, like contemplating on who is going to pay for your funeral!

 

You don't honestly want your tombstone, if you even get one, to say: "He played bass...", do you?

I want my earthly remains to be scattered at Disneyland - I don't want to be cremated though...

I play in 3 bands with completely different genres, plus two of them (jazz and 50s rock n roll/rockabilly) I use double bass, and I sub for another couple of bands. I use the same GK MBF500 with a GK CX2x10 cab for everything. For the double bass gigs I will often add a single no name 1x10 loaded with an Eminence Legend BP102 angled up at my ears so I can hear my intonation.

What do you do if all three bands get booked at the same time?
