And it shouldn't require a hand cart or weight lifter belt.

I think the advances in modeling are a good thing overall and the Vox unit seemed well built enough last time I actually sat next to one.


< was in a band once where we only played what we could carry in one trip, per person, even the drummer.
he cheated, he used his g/f as One trip" and was hosed when she dumped him.

I got ya beat. My bass rig fits in my pocket!

I see, putting your faith in the house PA, then ? :shocked:

ahh , I remember the optimism of youth.

That DI has to plug into something else.
Here's a secret that cheezy-sleazey sound guys and cheap-assed club owners don't want you to know, that speaker in that "name brand" floor wedge or PA bin may just be from the local Radio Shack.... if you're lucky, they bought the "PRO" series.

<When I was young I opened cabinets to find empty holes, baskets with cones moving, yet for the most part detached from the "flexible" surround from rot, amongst the various rat and mouse nests.
not in your funky "road houses" but your touring level act type of club ... and we liked it like that ! </dana carvey's grumpy old man>

Lucky for me I usually am just "jammin" at my friends pad, and he has a great PA.

BTW - I'm not that young............

Which brings up an old old joke: What do you call a musician who just got dumped by his girlfriend? Homeless!
