Re: Amp tone at home and with the band

Hi	Re: Amp tone at home and with the band I, too, have been a victim of the "it sounded fine before" monster. At home, as a solo instrument, you want more bottom end. On stage, it sounds muddy, recorded even worse. It took me quite a while to relearn what I had understood inherently to start with, that "too bright" at home means just right with a bass and drums. I learned that the bass is a lot like an effects device; when I think I have it right, I consider lessening it by half! Hi
