Hey guys,
This new venue that I'll be playing at in Yokohama finally got sound equipment for our live event this Sunday. We'll have 2 guitarists, 1 bass, and a vocalist through those speakers. The owner doesn't know anything about music or sound equipment so he can't help me with that. I'm guessing I can go through the SWR 350x but with 2 guitarists going through the board, do you think the 2 speakers can handle it?
Or would I have to bring a bass combo just in case?

Here's the set up:

Not really enough information to go on here. Pics don't help in this case. Specs on all the gear would be start though.

Why are we condemned to having to put our faith in people who don't know what they are dealing with. Oh wait... there actually IS such thing as a stupid question. I've just asked it.

But you didn't use a question mark so you're good :)

Yeah, I wish I could give you more info but that's all I can gather from the picture. The space can fit a max of 60 people but we'll probably only have 6 people there.

@two fingers - Thanks! I just asked the drummer to bring his bass combo just in case. I just sold my cab and I don't have a car.

Thanks for catching the grammatical error. Everyone put in a question mark please.
OK... can you get make and model numbers on all the gear in question?
Doesn't have to be right now.

My rule of thumb? Bring everything but the kitchen sink. Is painful to haul equipment, but much sweeter not needing to use it.

We can get as loud as we want, which is highly unusual for Japan. But we don’t need to.

I just got a response from the guy that set it up:
Hi Winton. What I have down there is two PA speakers, power amp, mixer and yes, my SWR bass ahead is in the stack, but there is no bass speaker. OK to line out bass into the mixer, but you might be better off with dedicated speaker or your own amp. Overall the PA can handle whatever you throw at it. Acoustic guitars direct into the mixer OK, best to have electrics go through effects and then into the mixer. I left three mic cables there, you will have to bring your own mics.

Thanks, guys, for the responses! I’ll definitely be borrowing my drummer’s bass combo!
