One of the things that playing an Acoustic 360 does is defeat any opportunity for the FOH to screw with bass tone. The Grexa reissue has a DI out, which makes life easier. But, the folded horn throws enough signal on its own that FOH doesn't do much with or to the bass sound for the most part. Just set it to liquefy and all is well. It doesn't have to be all that loud for the liquefy setting to work just fine.Jeez! Yer making me really grateful that none of the places we play have FOH. We provide our PA; we don't run instruments through the PA(we can, we don't-by choice). Our rooms don't require it.
I've been to a bunch of concerts where it's quite obvious the sound tech is looking at his board and listening through headphones, but never removes them to hear what the audience is hearing. Frustrating as hell-especially when I know what the bass part should sound like and all hear is the &^%$#@! kick drum.
I plugged the upright into the original ACC 360 over the weekend for a rehearsal. It sounded like bass should sound. Even turned way down, that thing makes a huge sound, not loud at all, just huge. I can't get away with any mistakes, though.
