Skjold Domination!

Did a dinner gig Tuesday night in a piano trio covering everything from "Mood Indigo" to "Can't Get Enough" (it really worked) and in between.

My Skjold 6, affectionately known as the Bubinga Monster, simply killed.

This bass does it all - I took the solo on "Let It Be" and the highs were astounding - I mean, people put down their forks and drinks to listen to this thing. I was amazed - I ran my EQ the same as always - a slight bump to the low mids, lows slightly rolled off - except for a slight bump to the highest highs for some sparkle. Absolutely fan-freaking-tastic. In addition, I had plenty of lows and mids to spare, and we jammed out "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" and "Round Midnight" for several extra minutes because it sounded so good and was grooving so hard. The pianist made a comment during the first break about how she wasn't going to worry about her left hand for the rest of the show.

Thanks Pete. The Bass still rules. It was a great gig and I'm still feeling good a couple days later.
