any chance of running your mics through the house Snake? split 482s onstage + SBD would be titties! any chance of getting some extra bodies and running split omnis and cards onstage? how soon is the show? i've got an extra set of jw mod 460 bodies I may be able to send your way, coming from CA to AZ shouldn't take more than 2 days, probably be there in 1.
not really familiar with the artists but if there are a lot of vocals onstage AUD could be lacking somewhat in vocals.
Don't think there is too much chance of running through the snake, however, I'm calling the tour manager tonight to get all the soundcheck details worked out. I figure no matter what I do up front I'll bring my iRiver and maybe my UA-5 to get a patch while I run the mics on stage.
No chance on getting another set of bodies here in Phoenix but man... That offer for the mod 460s is very tempting. The show is Thursday. I had almost jumped the gun on another pair of 480 bodies so I could do 4 mic mixes but decided to hold off cause I wanted to hear what the mod 460 bodies sounded like. If you're OK with it I'll pay shipping both ways. I'll PM you in a few. Thanks and T+ for the great offer.
As for vocals I believe that the first act will have none, the second act will have a bit, and the third act will have alot.
Below is a link for the artists. Several have been playing with Carlos Washington and the Giant People Ensemble.
