Number of reasons I never leave home without one...I've had the misfortune of my valve head having one of the KT88's go mid gig.....'Don't panic!!!!' It was just a case of get the Sansamp out of the case and run a XLR to the desk and straight back in. The EQ, etc. is fantastic and certainly thickens up your sound; really puts the 'meat on the bones.' With one of the projects I play with, I never take my head or cab and just go straight to desk with a the monitor in front of me doing the work and personally, think it sounds great. When I've used it for recording, the tone hasn't needed much tweaking during the final mix.....it's an all round winner in my view! If not for you, they always hold their price pretty well when looking to sale.

Hello, As in my mid-forties now, this is the first time I've actually been 'active' on an internet forum.....Ok, I've just come out of my cave!!!!! Finding I could spend quite a bit of my day looking around here!! Been an active semi-pro for a number of years, currently using a 1996 Musicman Stingray and a couple of early 1990's Jazz basses, as well as 'Betsy' my German 40 year old double bass. Using two SWR 'Golight' 2x10's - depending on size of gig, EBS 350 head, or Trace Elliot Hexavalve head (absolutely stunning amplifier!!!!). Also use a Hartke 'Kickback' 12 combo for 'Betsy' or rehearsals. Will no doubt be researching more into the site.....cheers!!!
