I took my new Magnus to reheasal for the first time Wed night. My bandmates really like it and it sounds great. I used it to record bass parts for 2 songs Wed and did not have to play around with the sound much at all (it has the Kent Armstrong/active 3 band/passive option). I brought it in for a setup with new strings yesterday as I want it done right - I do not want to screw it up! I should have it back Monday ready for the next rehearsal - yeh!
