I remember being a stagehand and being in awe of rascall Flatts bass players bass rig..one big roadcase with a 8x10 cab 2 bass heads (one for backup) and within the same case 3 or 4 basses

David is the GREATEST guy in the world! Just got off tour with Flatts :)

Ubers/ Exxstacys/ and Marshalls through 3 different sets of Cabs? 😮 Crazy what needed to be done in 2009 for fabulous tone! Nowadays you can run an Axe fx or Helix direct and capture SUCH a close set of tones. God bless tube amps but wow it musta been a project back then each night

[@CBaller2020]

I had no clue what he was talking about and had no idea how much "stuff" was involved with a guitar.....wow!!!

[@MrCecilbag]

All that BOGNER, drool. Great products by RJM. If this is the owners, they seem like nice people. Cool video, thank you

[@32880kristibrent]

David is the best!

Please do another video on Joe Don's rig during their upcoming Rewind Tour! Would love to see all the updates he's made!

[@rjmmusic]

@ahvaimusicom Hopefully we can do a new rig video next time they're in town!

[@rjmmusic]

We'll be putting up a T-shirt order page on the web site as soon as I can find time to do it! :-)

[@rjmmusic]

@jordandcarson For all intents and purposes, an RG-16 is like having a GCX and Mini Amp Gizmo in one box (except better :) ) You can switch between two amps and channel switch them with either an RG-16 or Mini Amp Gizmo / GCX together.

[@marcopolio421]

@jakebooking13 Most big name musicians have intricate setups - you would be doing your concert goers an injustice if your rig fucked up and you had to figure out what was busted in the middle of a performance. Also, the tech will generally be able to work with vendors concerning the newest technologies and products such as switchers and power distribution.

Nice~ good to see more and more rjm stuff out there. Ron where to get the shirts~!! lol really~

[@rjmmusic]

@armyqpzm We had them made. Feel free to contact us if you want one.

[@otraxo]

@jakebooking13 Remember, these guys usually walk all over the stage and out to the iddle of the audience during a lot of their performances so switching between pedals or changing the modulation/effects depth from song to song. The tech may be responsible for the other backup band musicians effects as well.

[@armyqpzm]

where did you get that pedal shirt?

[@rvdw725]

is there anyone who can set up a list of the effects he's using?

[@armyqpzm]

@rjmmusic how much would they be?

[@theguitarzan]

Or "My"?

[@jakebooking13]

kinda seems lazy and way too rock star to have your tech do ALL your patching and switching.It seems like that the equivalent to singing to a vocal track
