Yeppers, it's one f the best sounding venues in Manchester. Seen loads of bands there and the sound has always been excellent, in fact I saw Ms Amos when she was touring her Strange little girls album at the Apollo. Amazing night.
I’ve routed for, and fitted, MM pickups to all 3 of my basses, so it made sense for me to use an active EQ pedal for the times that I need the Stingray tone, saves 3 lots of circuitry and 3 lots of batteries.
