What woofers?

Post by stratovarius »

Never done this before.... I'm long-range planning a benefit with several other participants and there are a few pieces that will require fairly low & loud bass. The locale will be a typical vaulted ceiling church _about_ 120'x70', I'm just guessing. One of the pieces will be Enya's "Long-Ships" which we're working on already. This piece is fairly evocative even for those who do not know its background and although it really isn't a guitar piece it will be 3 guitars playing parallel solos 3rd's apart throughout 'above' the backing track. My question is what speakers should I plan to use beyond the guitar amps for the deep backtrack parts, simply a good bass stack? Not sure if that'd do...

here's the original

our backing track is turning out to be much more dramatic with even better bass so that woofer handling will be a key rigging issue.

aaaaaaaaaand while here, another partly equipment question, what midi instrument would be best to reproduce the bass/drum "hit" about 15 seconds into the song?
The roses are melodies,
The petals notes,
Cast by The Magician's Selfless hands
To ring briefly
Then freely land
On the luckiest, few and ragged,
Children in the pilgrim audience.
