CheapDate at The Olde Ship

3/15/2018

On Saturday, 3/17, I'll be performing with CheapDate again at our annual gig for Saint Patrick's Day at The Olde Ship - a British Pub & Restaurant, in Santa Ana, CA. Show time is 7pm - 11pm.

In prep for the gig, at our rehearsal last night, I brought my Roland KC-550 amp. I did a previous review of that amp almost two years ago and I have to say...I still love it as a stand alone bass amp. My Eden rig is still my gigging rig, but for those rehearsals were I need to keep up with Peter and keep the load in/out fast, the KC-550 is fantastic.
However, I'm still waiting for the promise of a lighter transport.
