[QUOTE="Karl Winkler, post: 55547, member: 255"] Re: Reinforcement vs. amplification Jay, your post brings back memories. I spent four years touring with the Air Force big band the "Airmen of Note". Judging from what you wrote, I'd say you had an excellent handle on things. That was always my goal, too - to reinforce what the band was already doing and stay out of the way. In larger venues, of course more things were miked and it was more of a "mix". But in a large percentage of the gigs, there was very little coming through the PA. I approached the bass a lot like you did - I gave it a tad more presence than perhaps was "natural" but I thought it sounded great that way. No doubt - overall for any acoustic act and certainly for a big band, less is more. Wish I could have seen/heard your show! [/QUOTE]
