I’ve been using a Bose L1 with two
subwoofers in my live & looped solo blues/jam act since 2004. It’s
a great system. When on concert stages with sound reinforcement, I just
tell the FOH guy to plug into the Bose line out, not needing a monitor.
The Bose subs do not have a long throw, but they will get a bass or kick out
into a small area (I do have a JBL 18” powered subwoofer for extra large
rooms, but rarely use it). My system is the original L1, so it is
bulkier, taller and heavier than the one shown on your link. I do about a
hundred solos a year (along with 150+ band dates) and I’ve never wished I
was using something else. I get compliments on the sound at every
gig. I run my guitars through a Vox Tonelab, my kickdrum is a Porchboard
Bass and I use two EH Micro Pog pedals for octave adjustments to create bass
sounds—all this goes into a Mackie 1402 VLZ3 and loops through an EDP.
The Bose spreads the mid and high frequencies in an amazingly broad
pattern. Also amazing is the fact that the linear radiator is set up
about three feet behind me, with an SM 58 vocal mic right in front of it, yet
never feeds back. I hear what the audience is hearing, which is a great
help when making one-man-band loops with six or eight layers of bed and solos
on top. Can’t recommend it enough. From: JASON CASKENTTE

body ever used or own one before? |
