Mark- I have two of the Bag End mid/high cabinets as used in Wall of Sound bass rig. Each cab has 2xEVM12L and 6x JBL 5" highs in vertical line. These and some dual 15" cabs were what made up the tri-amped (with massive McIntosh no less) bass guitar setups. <

well it's no U2 rig but I'll be mixing a local band Healing Sixes (Jason Bonham was their drummer a while back, they do a lot of Zep), at the Labor Day RibAmerica fest here this weekend. Last year it was an enormous EAW rig that was just stupidly loud and clean for a city park. Will report back- Doobie Brothers will be headlining that night. M

Is the "wall of sound" actually assembled and being used somewhere? I saw the Dead many times with portions of it (that big center array over the drum kit) in '79/'80.

..............So where is it? If it's at your house, your rig is bigger than mine.

I believe that's John Myer's Grateful Dead rig. And it was a rig! You get ten guesses on where it is today.

Sorry Charlie, the rig you say in this picture is no JBL Vertec rig..... that would be a McCauly rig and believe me bro, the two are very different. JBL Vertec far,far superior rig. This is like calling your Kornerhorn a floor standing speaker. Get your facts straight and do a little research before spewwing out wrong information.

I wish I had more time to take pictures, but it was a real busy 3 day fesitival. I couldn't believe how clean those MTL-1 bins sounded. I was real worried about there being all sorts of crazy reflections inside the coax horn. The festival was held in Union Park and it was definitely full. I've never done Caribbean before and man is it a hard genre to mix for, but I made it through alive. The MTx series from EV packs some serious SPL per cubic foot...only downside is those bins are super heavy - good thing we had roadies for doing all the lifting

Just for Professor Thump.... take a look at what the bassist has for cabs... looks like a pair of 4 x 10 or 4 x 12 cabs.

Thanks Michael... Nice pictures!
It looks like there are dual cabs with 8 x 10" or 12". I bet you get a lot of snap off of all of those motors.

The Eminence Basslite CA2010 drivers are amazing:

In the right cabinet you can get both low end growl and sharp snappy mids/highs. The only downside is you won't get that much SPL from them...I can see what he's running with sixteen drivers lol.

Btw, if you're looking for a real cheap bass guitar amp, an XTi 1000 works real well with its built-in subharmonic synthesizer and really hammering on the compressor.

I suppose to keep things on topic I should post a pic of a big sound system...

Here's a shot from the mix position from the annual Chicago Caribbean Music Festival that I mixed FOH for a couple months ago. We were running 8x MTH-1 per side for the MF/HF and 4x MTL-1 per side for LF. In the middle was 4x MTL-4 for mono LF. Amplifiers were Yorkville AP series. FOH mixer was a Yamaha PM5D and I believe the monitor mix was done on a Yamaha M7CL. The crappy rainbow speakers on the sides were from King Tubbis Sound...I can't even begin to describe how crappy/obnoxious that system was. Here's a link to his website to get a feel for their "good" sound....http://www.kingtubbis.com/ (the guy would literally run around with a ladder and screwdriver putting his head into every speaker while it was playing at full tilt to find out what drivers were blown and he would just swap them all day long...driver after driver would blow and he'd just keep on replacing them).

Anyways, here's the setup:

I really need a better camera for this... 3 year old point n' shoot Canon isn't cutting it, but has taken probably 10,000 pictures in that time.

More shots of the lighting... some of the strobe effects were like staring into the sun...

Re: Collective Soul at TBCA

It seems like a lot of bands are moving to LED lighting effects, combined with the Roto-flower effects, as well as the old stand-by the PAR cans. At any rate, the guy running the lighting board had his hands full all night... it wasn't programmed.

A shot of the crowd from my forward vantage point... looking backwards on an angle. FOH mix position is at the rear of the hall.

As close as I could get before being asked to go back to my seat by the staff... the security there is pretty brutal... they won't let you near the stage if you aren't seated in those seats.

Needless to say at this distance from the subs... my shirt was flapping in the breeze.
