The Last Bass Outpost

I think some younger FOH guys think bass is always low. You mix in the left hand of the keyboard and the power driven guitar and all of a sudden its the bass that's too loud. Let alone add the bass drum into the mix. I was playing a worship service in church when the Pastor came in and said the bass was too loud. Turned out the sound guys where playing a click track for the drummer and forgot to turn it off the FOH.  Sound guys said sorry but no apology from the pastor.

As a player for more than 40 years I've used many different basses for different songs as needed. Sometimes Chris Squire-ish. Sometimes Jack Bruce-ish. sometimes very bottom-ish. But I've noticed with the use of sub-woofers more and more the sound difference to on-stage sound and FOH( front-of-house) is dramatic. If I'm midrangie like Jack Bruce there's always lots of bottom on my FOH sound. Does this bother anyone else?

I'd like one. Pages look good. Cost to ship to Canada?

I was fortunate to talk with Kent Armstrong through the guys at WD Music. His father Dan Armstrong was Jack Bruce's techie. It is commonly said Dan put a diode in Jacks bass. Kent said it was a by-pass filter(capacitor) to drop off all the bass frequencies and the high frequencies. jack turned the mids all the up on his amps. Thw  cabs used G-25's back then, G-30s used later in Marshalls. He regularly blew them and they distorted giving him his hard edged sound.
