Here we are, in all our glory!
A great time was had by all. The crowd was very receptive and we got spirited applause after every tune. Apparently, we must have sounded good enough, because we've been asked to come back tomorrow, sans Foghat.
This was also the "Big Test" for my SVT4 Pro - Eden 410 rig, and I must say I am very, very happy
Clear and deep and filled up the stage...outdoors!
The "big guys" (bless 'em all, they were cool!) had quite the backline... During "sound check", prior to us going on, their roadie broke out a nice black F@nder J-bass. They had two Hartke 5000 heads (I think they were 5000s, although they looked pretty old and unlike anything I think Hartke is offering now). Each one was powering a newer Ampeg 810 cab. "This is going to sound sweet", I am thinking. I mean, after all, these dudes are pros, right?
And then out comes one of the most gawd-awful fart-tuba sounds I've ever heard
It gets even better: Roadie nods his head approvingly and puts the bass back on the stand! He's done!
Sure enough, when we are loading out, I hear it again...the same nasty, "somebody-sliced-my-speakers-with-a-knife" honking, and I realize: "This guy is either deaf or a real lazy mo'fo, because he is just going to leave it like that!
Now, to be honest, I did not stick around to hear Foghat's bassist play it (Kids and Mommy were ready to go, and so was I!), but I can only imagine it still sounded like hot garbage
(No disrespect, of course! It could have sounded great!)
So, in comparison, I am thinking: "4 Pro and Eden 410 GOOD!" (My 5 year old said the ground was shaking
)
Enjoy the pics...Goodnight everbody!
