Dinner With Gershwin - Donna Summer

Just bagged an SWR SM500. Wanted something as backup to my Eden WT800 with the same type of sound but not as bulky or heavy. Had a little go with it and it sounds lovely. Has the same smooth power delivery as the Eden and also very versatile EQ section which is what I was after and also has plenty of grunt. Will most likely give it a runout at the weekend since we have a gig. Now I have to shift something out, probably my Tecamp Black Jag which is another cracking amp.

If you put the compressor in front it takes out the dynamics that the envelope filter reacts to.

I've always had the DI last in the chain as a backup in case the amp fails. Have never had to use it once mind you.

Couldn't agree more. Bass is a support instrument for me but bass solos generally remind me of overacting and attention seeking that most people didn't come along to see. A good, solid groove is where it's at for me. Back on topic - Jeff Berlin. I find his personality way too intense and abrasive. It's as if he's only interested in people who have nothing else in their lives other than bass guitar. I can admire people's skills, dexterity, dedication etc but still not have any connection.

A bit like buying a football shirt with a player's name on it. I see blokes wearing them and snigger to myself 'blimey, Lionel Messi's let himself go, and I didn't expect to see him in Aldi'.
