BACKLINE

We supply drums and a bass speaker cabinet and head! Please use our drums and bass setup to make load-in and changeovers easier. Feel free to bring your own breakables (cymbals, snare, etc); however, we have all of that if you prefer to use ours.

Drums: We have a 5-piece Premier Resonator kit plus hardware, Stagg brand cymbals (14" hi hats, 16" crash, 20" ride).

Bass rig: We have an Acoustic B410 4x10" bass cabinet, hitting 300w at 8ohms with a Gallien-Krueger Backline 250 Bass Head on top. The solid state GK 250 pushes 125W RMS at 8 ohms, and has a direct out (XLR) with pre/post switch, effect loop, and tuner out.

Guitar amp: We have a vintage combo amp for use, a Univox Stage 400. This solid state amp has 2 inputs, volume, clipping, bass, treble, reverb and master volume controls.  The spring reverb is nice and lush, creating washed out surf sounds.  The clipping controls a built in fuzz/distortion circuit, great for lofi drive tones and psychedelic 60's type leads.  This all runs into 2x10" speakers with an option to connect an 8ohm extension cabinet.
