LOL - certainly not a vintage sound that escaped my SVT rig yesterday as I played it. That bass is a razor blade and even made my also brought along Grabber II sound docile and that is something! I wouldn't play it in an Eagles tribute band, but as we were rehearsing Nirvana's Teen Spirit (with a keyboard-synth line, a ballad chorus and me playing Metallica's "Enter Sandman"-riff in the verse and bridge which fits perfectly, well, the songs did come out around the same time ...), it sounded great and the whole band agreed. Snarly little monster.
And to give SD credit, they advocate their QPs as pups for "punk, grunge, hard rock and heavy metal", so you get what it says on the tin.
