An opportunity to hear an L1 system rigged as an electric bass amplifier, compared to a high quality conventional amp. A demonstration of a hybrid system (L1 plus conventional amp) is also planned. Direct comparison of a 2B1 system vs. a 4B1/Packlite system.
An opportunity to hear an L1 system rigged as an electric bass amplifier, compared to a high quality conventional amp. A demonstration of a hybrid system (L1 plus conventional amp) is also planned. Direct comparison of a 2B1 system vs. a 4B1/Packlite system.
The basic agenda (not final) is this:
- Intro
- Discussion of the case for/against using the L1 to amplify electric bass.
- With assistance from Mike Zartarian of Bose, live demonstrations of a conventional bass rig (Eden), conventional rig-plus L1 (hybrid) and all-Bose rig, set up to emulate the Eden and also without emulation. I'm going to try to set these up as A/B comparisons where appropriate.
- Discussion/demo of different ways to get tone (BassPOD emulation vs. Bose presets vs. preamps, the effect of BassPOD cabinet/mic simulation selection on tone). More A/B if time permits.
- Discussion of "thump" and A/B demo of 2 vs. 4 B1s
- Q&A
