Congratulations on ordering the Bose Bill and Hammer. It's an amazing system. I'll tell you with what happened to me Friday night at a gig and this is what I find the Bose is so versatile. No problem with large gigs we already know that.

I was hired to play a Christmas party at a country club on Friday night. I was led to believe it would be for a group of 100 in a ballroom within the club.

Surprise, surprise it was instead for 30 people in an area of the ballroom where they put up the removable partitions. So here I am with this mega pa system for 30 people and I thought talk about overkill. To add insult to injury they wanted to the volume very low. I had it very low and they asked could you just turn it down a little bit more. I obliged and turned it down. I could hardly hear the thing and wondered why are they even bothering to have me playing. Never got an applause at all either. One lady did walk by and gave me a thumbs up and that was it. So here I get paid for 2 hours, finish playing and start packing up. The party host who is a member of the CC came right up to me and said what you're finished playing and I said, I was hired for 2 hours and I played for about 2 hours and 10 minutes. He then offered to pay me for whatever an extra hour would cost. I said $100 more per hour and he agreed. The party broke up about 45 minutes later, a few more people gave me compliments and the new manager of the CC booked me for a couple of hours on New Year's from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. So even at low volumes BOSE is a winner.
