Bullfrog, I was afraid of that. I read an interiew by Winslow Yerxa
with Danny Wilson (The Legendary "BassHarp"), and he described his
set-up. It definitely sounds as though amplification is a MUST. Too
bad, I play unamplified a lot right now (that's the problem - I can't
even play bass GUITAR - no amp) for that to be a workable option. I
guess maybe I ought to look into a Guitarron (anybbody here on
"Guitarron-L"? ;-))

Thanks for the info.
