Re: [Harp-L] bangin thru a modern bass rig

for me, it's not about playing loud it's about having enough power for my effects, I also like the clarity and purity of the acoustic tone.

I know a few of you guys have heard this but if you haven't, you can't sound like this through an old tube amp...

there are two clips in this thread...one with effect and one without.

here is another clip without effects. The download is somewhere in the middle of the first page.
