Hi, I'm acoustic guitarist and know nothing about the bass so I apologise if this is a really stupid question or if it's been asked a million times.
I need to buy a bass amp for my church, our double bass player is converting to the bass guitar.
The band line-up is: one (sometimes two) rhythmn acoustic guitars plugged directly into pa desk; miked grand piano; unmiked drums, single miked vocalist; miked double bass about to be replaced by bass guitar. The church is a building which seats about 300.
I have two questions:
Will a 150W bass combo be sufficient for this situation?
Can a miked doubled bass be plugged into a bass amp for a better sound (pa system speakers are too small for decent bass sound)?
many thanks for any help you could give.
Steve
