I probably could have done with taking my larger amp set up yesterday to the outdoors jazz gig but it was a real boon today down at the Cowley Road Carnival. It isn’t huge as bass amplification goes (a ‘mere’ 250 Watts) nor particularly new (perhaps about 15 years old) but does the job nicely. It meant I could just trundle on stage with the trolley I had the cabinet and head set up on, plug in and be ready to play.

The big amp doesn’t get an outing very often these days but it is the kind of thing definitely worth keeping on hand to facilitate my music making.
