[Harp-L] Bose L1 Personal Amplification System

[captron100@xxxxxxx]

  A full-time musician friend plays acoustic gtr, banjo, vocals, with bass pedals that he plays with his feet.  He is looking to replace his 30 year old Bose PA (the small speakers on a stand type) with which he uses a large bass cabinet to accommodate his bass pedals.  He is experimenting with the Bose stick system, using both one and two of them at a time.  He likes them fine except that the bass isn't as deep and punchy as his old system.  He has tried both the new and older version of these sticks.  I'd like to know if either one is better for his use as described above and if anyone has suggestions that he could use to improve the bass response of the L1's for use with his bass pedals.  Tia.
