Dan,
Have you ever had to deal with a show where the room was too "boomy"?  What/ how did you deal with it?

Oh yeah. Before I learned about HPF I use to try and adjust the EQ on my amp. Parametric EQ works best.

Jazzy, Just saw your comment on July 6th. You can get that cracked finish by bringing your bass to Minnesota in January, leaving it out in the truck when it's -30 degrees below zero and then bringing it inside to a nice warm room heated to 70 degrees and immediately opening the case.

Winter time here in the south. Had a lovely gig in a hotel lobby. Very nice audience and lots of dancers.

Beautiful bass!  What kind of case is that, looks more manageable than the big G&G cases.

I like the trapezoidal cases. The 1982 Distillate I used to own came new in a trapezoidal case.

Coffin Case! I think the original "blue" case weights 25lbs!..lol I was using a gig bag for the bass but when I found out it would fit in this with the DS-5 I use it instead. Much lighter load.

Here is a pic from 2 days ago... love the sound but I miss b string insanely
The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

Beautiful! I miss it too but I have a custom in production that will cure that void! If I absolutely need a B string I just bring my fretless. It's a monster. This was a classic rock/blues/country gig so the four string was perfect.
