  1. I am the bass player in a 3 piece band with a combined age of about 160 that plays rockabilly and some "classic rock" covers. We use my PA system. I do a little bit of SR and recording for other bands as I have a quasi studio as well as dedicated rehersal space. It is definitely a hobby not a business for me. It is way too much work for too little ROI to consider it as a business. The good news is that I get to work only with people that I like, and are cooperative. I use a Yamaha O1v96 which is extraordinarily flexible. I use the dynamics and EFX in the O1v. There is also an HD24 24track recorder in the mixer rack. My FOH is triamped, consisting of 2 Peavey SP5gs with 2 EV SXA180 powered subs. The SP5g's are powered with a QSC RMX 2450 for the lows and an 850 for the horns. I use a Peavey VSX26 for crossover and processing. Monitors are 2 mixes into 3 15" Peavey wedges powered by a QSC RMX 1850HD with Peavy EQ and limiter. I have the amps mounted in an EWI shock mounted rack with a back plate that has NL4 jacks for the biamp cables, XLR inputs from the O1v and XLR outs for the subs as well as a flanged inlet for AC power. So easy a caveman can connect it. The monitor amp rack is set up the same way. Microphones are mostly Shure. Beta 58, 57, 77, KSM109, and assorted Audix, AKG and Sennheiser as well. I make a lot of my cables using Neutrik connectors, but I gotten some from Audiopile, including an EWI snake that I found to be high quality and fairly priced. I am very pleased with the system overall, especially the VSX26 and the O1v96. I have always gotten great feedback on how it sounds, and how it is dead quiet. I have not used it for more than a 500 person venue, and I don't know that I would. Misc stuff in the spare, retired and "thought I'd try it" pile include: Alesis- compressor limiters, EQ and MidiVerb4,and 2 studio 32 inline consoles. Behringer-Feedback destroyer, EQ, effects and compressor Peavey-CS 800,900, M-4000 amps, VSXII crossover Yamaha- EMX68s powered mixer, Speakers from Altec and Acoustic
