Did a gig last night. With people I love and trust. Took the Ampeg SVT for that lovely valve goodness.
Singer soundchecked the instruments and bv's then we swapped and I went out to check the band with her vocals.
I was appalled.
The bass sound was just a weedy, thin, fizz.
I asked her in all honesty had she really meant me to remove the glorious bottom end, not just from mine but from the whole band's sound?
I went along with it, one must respect the person doing the soundcheck. Later I received many plaudits from members of the crowd.
So am I broken? Why can't I be trusted to know what a good bass sound is? It seems I lack all objectivity when it comes to my own sound.
