All I've seen are the old NAMM demo videos. Can't really get a good idea of the sound because of all the noise. I have the head though, killer IMO.

I recently picked up a Fusion. Don't have a video, but do have some recent recordings of it on live gigs. Not sure what it'll tell you though as your bass/band/etc will vary. It is a nice head, more aggressive than the MB LMTube it replaced. Very articulate and plenty loud.

I checked out some of your video clips. Great sounding band. Good and smooth Jazz. It looks like you are using the MBFusion during that gig with the different female singers where you are more in the back. Is that it?

Thanks - have some great cats I get to play with. Actually that is the LMTube in those videos. I used the Fusion on a couple gigs right before and on xmas, new years eve, and last week at a club gig.

Here's the "classic Roscoe" sound with the Fusion through a Berg AE210:

http://nostatic.com/mp3/5jan11/allBlues.mp3 (the buzz is lights bleeding into the house PA - not the amp/bass)

and the Rob Allen:

http://nostatic.com/mp3/5jan11/songForMyFather.mp3

Both tunes have bass solos towards the end so you can hear the instrument alone relative to in the mix. We have another show with 4 different vocalists and two horns this Friday that I'll have video from by next weekend.
