Fishman SoloAmp / Bose L1® Comparison: Difference between revisions

This page is an attempt to compare the brand new Fishman SoloAmp with the Bose L1. I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked on the comparison. Someone has to be dead last on the FedEx delivery list and that person is me! My SoloAmp was out on the truck for delivery at 4:50am this morning and finally arrived at my house at 7pm. I had plans for tests and recordings both inside and out but due to the late hour, I was only able to set up and test inside.

This song was inspired by a blog written by my friend Bob Karwin. Bob is a great singer/songwriter/performer and all around good guy from San Diego, CA. He wrote about how instead of keeping track of his home improvement chores and projects by hour, he counts them off by the number of beers it takes to complete the task. The trouble, according to Bob, is that if you hit the liquor store first, by the time you get done at Home Depot, your beer is warm. If you hit Home Depot first, you run the risk of the liquor store being closed by the time you get done. He came up with a brilliant solution. I stole the whole idea and put it into a song.
