It's kind of a funny question when you think about it. I picked up the cobalts for my Westone because I *didn't* want that bass to sound like it has flats on it, but I've just gotten to used to the feel of anything but rounds. Man, they are bright and chimey, but probably not broken in yet. I...

Oh, I've had this discussion a bunch of times. I wasn't into Rush at all growing up. I listened to a lot of either pop music or metal and hard rock, a lot of which you can dance or move to. Rush is not all something to dance to, LOL. :) It's not that I disliked them, but was more of a, *meh*...

I think it's a really useful item to have in your "toolbox". I've got an old analog Ibanez CP10 which also provides good sustain. A compressor will offer TONS of versatility to other effects too if you experiment with where is in the path.

Good ideas. I thought about putting my cab on the opposite side of the stage from me, sort of on an angle. Short of having someone I trust in the room to tell me where I'm at, how much benefit would I get from getting distance (still on stage) between me and my speaker?

I've been playing live pretty regularly in a few rock bands now, but I've definitely got some gaps in my knowledge of live sound that experienced TB'ers can probably help me with. My most steady gig is with a 6 piece cover/dance music band (2 guitars, vocalist, keys, drummer, and me). We do our...
