First one did. I took my own bass rig. Maple Europa 5, Mesa boogie 4x10 and Peavey Tour 450 head.
Sounded good, the band played well and the crowd loved it.

I'm gigging with Musical Youth this Saturday at the West Bromwich Albion Football ground. They have a new Fanzone and it's the opening ceremony prior to their game with Southampton then we are doing a couple of songs at half time. We are also doing a couple of songs with the guitarist from a band called The Twang.

Sky Television are broadcasting the game I'm told so perfect opportunity for my Series II bass to be heard and seen... :-)
The event starts I think about 12:00 GMT.

A shot from my gig earlier this afternoon.

Interesting aside, when I got out of my car to load up, one of the guys from the stage/PA company came over to me and said, I remember you from a festival last year an you had this incredible sounding bass with about 2 octaves more bottom end that anyone else on the festival and I could hear all the notes really clearly on your B' string. He said they'd had trouble hearing anyone else's B string that day and that mine was so clear they could hear every note.
So I told him it was an Alembic bass he was hearing I had the same bass with me today he knew the name from Entwhistle, Clarke and Fleetwood Mac and we had a discussion about Alembic and my bass.

I bet it was nice having your own rig to play through!

I dont get to use my own full rig very often but when i do its so much better and everyone knows and feels the difference. Even our drummer gave his nod of approval. There was a camera crew round the stage whilst we were playing and they took some closeups of me during our set so who knows if it will be broadcast.

Jazzyvee, That's a great rig!!Are you using all 3 pre-amps? If yes how are you hooking them up? I'd love to hear you playing. I remember hearing you play along on Hymn of the seventh Galaxy & that was totally awesome!!

Thanks Charles, i have 2,F1-x preamps with a channel of the sf-2 in the send return of each. This gig i needed low end so i went mono by switching the ds-5 to mono and using the upper preamp and one side of my power amp feeding the linked 8 ohm cabs. I had the sf2 on low pass around 110 hz gain and resonance set at about the 10:00 o'clock position. The bass was punching the bottom end like a champ.
