I wouldn't use this at a gig without a backup, but I don't have any money so I have to.

let me revise my last post and clarify that although you could put a mic in front of a vibro champ and gig with it, it's not very practical.

This has to be the most un-gigworthy '70s amp I have ever seen the guts of.
Lightweight Giggable Amp??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there such a thing?
Been advised to not do any heavy lifting as a result of a hernia, yet still want to keep gigging.

I too bought the chilli dog as my first pedal. for the money, its cheeky fun, but the issues of pitching the octave on the E and to a degree on the A strings render it ungiggable really.

It's good for a gig and it's small enough to carry by hand.

Hey, you bunch of sad sacks, these are great Guitars! Play one and you'll be eating every one of your words. Unless you don't really know a good Guitar when you see one and you just like to hate.
Squier Classic Vibe Strats and Teles are gig-worthy great looking and great sounding Guitars!!!

Injured myself at last night's gig.

Last night's gig was kind of the icing on the cake.
Well, last night's gig will go down as one of the Top 10 Gigs of my lifetime. It was like playing to the front row of a concert all night.
So I brought the Heritage H140 LP to last night's gig and dragged it out for 'Sweet Home Alabama' and 'Takin Care of Business' .

Last night's gig was possibly the last straw-showed up late, already drunk with his I don't give a **** attitude on...

Unboxing the unit reveals a thin and light unit that feels quite plastic and not exactly gig-ready.

I'm planning on picking up the bass, and I've decided that I'm probably going to get the Rumble 350, by Fender. I'm planning on joining my church band when I'm good enough, so the amp has to be gig worthy. We have one LOUD guitarist, one bassist (although they said they might accept another one), one keyboardist, one drummer, and three vocals.

...it's very dependable...and i'd wouldn't gig with it unless i had a backup...but that's not the guitar's fault...that's mine...because i use many detunings, and would rather switch guitars that detune it in the middle of a show. but if i was to have one set tuning...i'd take it..

I have an Epihone Zakk Wylde bullseye. It took a direct hit from an EF5 tornado, followed by 3 days outdoor exposure to torrential rains. It was mummified in a coating of wind blown insulation, tar, and debris. I cleaned it off, changed the strings, and started playing - great guitar, amazing quality. Definitely gig-worthy equipment!
― how's life, Monday, 9 December 2013 14:09 (ten years ago) link
I think that same exact thing has happened to Zakk Wylde himself a couple times!

You’re gigging out and things happen.

behringer powered mixer went out at a record store gig, yet it was still gig worthy- provided 'gig worthy' means an 18yr old kid lying on the floor and banging on various edges of the device while the mics stuttered away.
(i could have stopped typing at 'behringer powered mixer')

Ive never understood the whole "I buy guitars to play them, if your not gonna gig that $8000 guitar, why own it"

Why would I dread velcro day? It means I'm gonna gig that pedal!

The 1959 amp with the gain dialed back sounds very good for a crunchy type of tone, too. Think I'm going to gig that setup this friday.

You'll have to hire piano movers if you're going to gig that rig....
IMHO, oil finishes can be gorgeous and are just fine for guitars that receive occasional use (as do most gunstocks). But if you're going to gig that guitar regularly, you'll eventually appreciate it a whole lot less.
None of my guitars are worth $4K. But if one were,I would definitely gig it.

My 66 Super is not mint.....but I gig it all the time. :)
The only warning to heed here: Don’t slap the FMG on your board and immediately gig without knowing the Tone knob goes brighter backwards.

Yes, that was an interesting experience, to buy a Private Stock and immediately gig it, kind of nerve-wracking.
Anyone that could find an old Vox that still has original filter caps and would immediately gig it without any servicing whatsoever, and be surprised if it developed a problem, is a fool.

You are describing your need to share, and that, my brother, is pent up generosity. Sorry to hear you're gigless. That makes two of us. Grrrr..

YOU GIG PIG (he spat at me...)So Don't hate me for it ...!!!

Yes, I've been called a 'GIG-PIG" and have actually encountered face to face friction from other players ...Even cut down as being too techniqual & soulless from guys who would kill for my gigs ...

You can optimize your system/set-up for loud, pants-flapping fun at 20 feet away;

With that HIWATT singing were your pants flapping in the breeze???
Are you familiar with monitoring a mic'd signal through a wedge/headphones, or are you a guitar-cab-pants-flapping guy?
As I said, I don't expect pants flapping bass but I do need something that won't fart out all the time at ~90-95 dB.
