[QUOTE="Don Williams, post: 215473, member: 10396"] I'm a live a live engineer with many years experience. I truly prefer a signal straight out of the bass through a high quality DI box for most music, but I take what I'm given. I will say I have had post eq bass outputs that made it very hard to get what I consider a solid foundation for the mix because of how the bassist like their sound on stage. Usually the bass and kick drum work together in the mix, but with the bass equaled with almost no low frequencies its tough to get the sound right (in my opinion). I just go with what they give me. There is a local bassist I have worked with that will only give me the output of his pedal board. He uses so many effects I don't know how well he plays bass or even if he is playing in the right key! Its really that bad, but that what he wants. It will sound different through the PA from how it sounds as a performer on stage. [/QUOTE]
