Telebass Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Decided I'm going to actively look for gigging work again, if anyone will have me at my advanced age. To that end, and because I just happen to have the wherewithal at the moment, I've ordered a Squier Sonic P-Bass in Cali Blue, two sets of Fender flats (the real Fender needs new strings!), a decent Speakon cable, and... a second Barefaced One10 with cover! So, have a small, light, versatile rig that won't endanger all the metalwork in my back. Still only using the Elf, but it will give me the option of a 500W amp should I need it. Also means I can put the entire rig in a Smart Car, with room to spare. Not that I have something that small... I know it's not quite Christmas yet, but it feels a bit like it. Yay!

The selfsame rig as me, though I suspect you use another amp to get 500w… Thought of you the other night when I saw this band in Washington state. The bass could look familiar! All the best Den.

Am I missing something or have you somehow found a way to wrangle 500W out of a 200W amp? Or are you talking about a future 500W amp?

Pea Turgh Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Future 500, but 200 through 2 efficient 10s will probably be enough to damage hearing 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you talking about a future 500W amp? Sorry, not enough coffee yet... Was perhaps a bit opaque there... I meant that the two One10s could handle a 500W amp if I need the extra oomph later. Unlikely, the Elf is pretty loud through just one! I have done two full band rehearsals with just that, one was fine, the other, louder band, yes, it began to struggle without the full output. But they're still a kind of Trace Elliot waste, I keep telling myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
