Omni 10.5 bass stack

[Wes Whitmore]

Just a quick update - I had another gig in a new bar location. All house FOH. I pushed the subs together, which made a decent place for the monitors, but nothing I could do with the mains. We talked the owner into flying them to get them off the stage. Hopefully soon. Anyhow, as you can see, I have the 2 O10.5s as my backline and a GK1001RBII head. With 4 18s in a smaller bar like that, I didn't need to provide much bottom end support. It was just good and even bass, like always...but it looks small compared to the guitarist's 412! My rig is lighter though.

Smaller in size or smaller in volume?

[Wes Whitmore]

Both, he might as well have a single 12" cab. It's a really directional cab, and he doesn't turn it up much. We always have PA.

Haha, I guess I'm lucky that my guitarist uses just that - a single 12" cab. Can't wait to see how 2 of the 10.5's compete with him and our drummer. Wes, what have you replaced the 10.5's with for PA, since I remember you mentioning that they used to be your PA Tops prior to being your bass rig? (sorry if you answered this for someone elsewhere...)

Also, I just noticed, cheers to your Warwick! I have a Corvette Standard myself...is that a Double Buck?? Nice bass regardless!

[Wes Whitmore]

Yup, it is a double buck. Way better bass than I should ever own. It was a 10 year wedding gift from the wife. Sounds way different than my mid 90's spector neckthrough. Both are great.
We really haven't replaced the mains yet. Somehow most of our recent gigs have provided pa, but things will change with summer. I really need to get building something soon. Its hard to find time.
