I'm curious as to how big of a gig you can play with a Midget. Could one possibly do as well as one of my Markbass Traveler 151P cabs, for lows and general SPL? Anyone gigged with a lone Midget?
Bit late on this one, but... yep. I gig with a lone Midget, non-tweeter, with an Orange TB500. About 100 shows by now with this rig - clubs, pubs, a marquee or two.
I definitely don't think a Midget will work for everybody, but here's my experience.
The regular soul/country/psychedelic band reserves the PA for acoustic, vocals, and horns. 40W guitar amp, 100W keys combo, drums and bass are all backline only. Midget's coped fine, every single time, so far.
Did a rock'n'roll dep a few weeks ago. PA for vocals only, LOUD guitar, loud keys, drummer going for it. Again, the Midget was totally fine.
A friend borrowed the Orange/Midget for a blues gig, so I went along. Here the guitarist had a silverface Fender Super Six. Badass amp. Volume was okay standing near the front, but up against the back wall in the bright, bouncy room it was like undergoing some form of sonic interrogation technique. And the Midget was STILL fine.
Before ordering, I was all set on a Compact. I sent Alex soundclips, videos, a rig list, a letter. He said it sounded like a Midget would be ideal for me; I didn't really believe him but ordered one because with the great one-month return policy I could always change it for a Compact. (If I'd gone for a Compact first it would have done the job for sure, but I would simply have kept it, never knowing if a Midget would have worked.)
But Alex was right. As I've told him already, it's the best piece of bass equipment I've ever bought.
... unlike I did
