@WOT: Well the engineer was fascinated by the flats on my bass ha ha! He's a bass player also, but has never used flats.
[size=4]@LOZZ, re. the sound I like from my amp: I've probs missed a trick a bit in that there is also a (very good) producer on board who, when we re-amped, EQed the amp as it played out. So I think my 'sound' has been diminished somewhat. I think it is partly inexperience of recording on my part (I should have piped up, but like I said I don't consider myself in any way au fait with the processes) but I think it will be about what WOT says, ie. the the flats will need considered eq[/size]
