bty rick, you BLASPHEMER!
I guess I had that coming after all the stuff I've said
.
I really love my 51 ,and it's a keeper, but the last few months I've been playing my 70 P and it's stronger. The low end on the 51 sounds very dark and sweet and it fills the room with tone, but the low end on the 70 cuts more and fills the room with more presence. The 51 is like an upright with the tone it produces and it blends well in the mix, but like an upright it lacks the ability to cut. I like the uprightlike quality a lot, I just want it to hit a little harder. Of course turning up the volume helps
.............but it's not the complete answer
.
I hope some of this crap I keep spouting makes some sense to someone. I find it very difficult to use words to describe a sound. Loud and Soft are easy enough , but everything in between seems tough nail down
