My newest aquisition arrived today! Purchased from gastric here on the classifieds. 
I haven't had a chance to really push it yet (girlfriend is not feeling well and it's getting late), but I have band practice on Thursday and I'll put it through its paces then. I can't wait!
Here it is with the rest of the family

Now if only my damn Mesa cab would sell so I could order an Emperor...

| | | | I see your svt 3 pro next to the 2 pro. I sold my 3 and bought the 2 pro. If you havent had a chance to blast this amp yet you are in for a SERIOUS treat. It makes the 3 pro sound like a pocket amp. |

Got a chance to turn it up a bit louder yesterday and I gotta say it sounded really good. Very thumpy while still retaining a nice clear top end.
What are people's general opinion of the DI out? Is it quality, or should I have the sound guy run an external DI instead?

but if you use the di, it should be fine. haven't used the 2 pro very often, but i use cl's all the time and have yet to have a problem with the di.

Depending on the sound guy at the venue it might get a mic, but they all know me pretty well there and will likely be expecing my Sansamp rig. I'm sure if I'd ask him to mic it he wouldn't have a problem with it.

ev re 20
heil pr 40
sennheiser 421
beyer m88
shure sm-58 blended with a di for the lows (great low budget way of getting a quality mic'ed sound if you have two channels on the board)

I had spent that whole afternoon listening to Mr Big, so as soon as I got home that evening I busted out my Yamaha Attitude and restrung it back to standard tuning for the evening (normally tuned to C standard).
Unfortunately I can't really comment on the tone too much because I could hardly hear myself on stange because the damn vocal monitors were so loud, but the band before us asked to use my bass gear, and for them it sounded great! He was playing a Stingray of some kind, and the bass sounded super growly, punchy and rich.
The bass rig was mic'd with an AKG kick mic (I think), and the sound guy also used the XLR out on the back of the head. Before the set I had set it to about 12:00, and he told me afterward that he had come back and cranked it wide open after the first song.
My bass sounded super clacky on stage whenever I solo'd the P pickup, but apparently that didn't carry through to FOH at all. I was running it with a bit of drive, a bass boost, slight low mid cut, slight treble boost, and no Ultra switches.
