That's a good thing too. Because your amp class comparison is, eh, less than accurate.

It's white and gold! Or was it blue/black?

Are you running the vt1 through the Thunder's pre or plugged in to the fx-return, bypassing its preamp? Does the vt1 have a line out or di out instead of the speaker out? Or could the Sumo be faulty.

STRONG disagree. But forums are for opinions, so there's that. A bridge pup or mm bucker sound tighter when going that low.

I think it's important to pick the most iconic bits of the selected songs. Nobody wants to hear some obscure reference or figure out what it was supposed to be near the end of the bit. Connect the pieces with drumfills or other transitional indicators. If you stop and count in again then you effectively start a new song.

How about a muzzle?

Haven't tried mine live yet. Seems to have fairly good off axis rejection. Works fine in the rehearsal room for a old school thrash metal band. What is the issue on stage?

Or try a SM7b

As a singing bass player...

A quick google tells me there's no shortage of 8ohm 210s. It could yield a 110, 210, 310 or 410 configuration for any size room or stage together with the current cabs. Possibly more convenient to carry too. I like 12 inchers myself.

Or get a 210 for even more flexibility?

I use DR strings DDT5-55 to tune my Stingray 5 to AEADG. Zero issues.

Cool! Headstock looks like a classic Spector with the upper stretched to fit the 4 in line config. Smart move.

I feel this avant-garde thing has been done and was rightly left in the past.
