Double Bass California Blonde to Mesa Walkabout ?

I haven't tried tons of amps for upright, but I think the walkabout cab is a sleeper for upright.
Mostly because of it's emphasis on low mids compliments it nicely.
Did you used a preamp?
I didn't use a pre amp. I don't think I've ever used one !
I just plugged my bass into the Walkabout 112, with the switch on passive mode. It sounded beautifully.
I also sent it to FOH because it was a big venue , although their system didn't sound as good. They're probably not used to acoustic instruments.

Thanks to everyone that advised me at any point .
I found this Gallien-Krueger 115 BHR for dirt cheap, and added it to the Walkabout 112.
This is beautiful.
Both the Precision and the Music Man sound like a dream . It's the first time I can say " I can't stop playing !".
I'm very happy to find a sound that I like So much.
