[QUOTE="Rich Syder, post: 215458, member: 14959"] Hi all! I just signed up and I'm a long time bass player. Over on TalkBass the prevailing theory is that the FOH engineer nearly demand a P or a J bass and always a clean DI regardless of the amp used onstage. That's the "myth", but I think reality is more like FOH is happy to see a P bass and would prefer to have a clean DI signal because it's quick and easy to get a good sound, and keep the pedal tap dance to a minimum. There's a lot of leveling of synth patches, guitar patches, etc going on, it's nice to have a solid bass tone with no fuss. The tonal nuances that bass players obsess over really don't matter outside of the studio. Any things you would like to see / not see when the bassist shows up? [/QUOTE]
