I had the distinct pleasure yesterday of mixing Garret Mason, son of blues legend Dutch Mason, at Orangeville Blues and Jazz festival. Who says you can't play a cheap Japanese bass with a capo into a Fender Twin reverb, with tape echo? AND- he does it while watch 90's wrestling videos on his onstage TV. How loud is a Fender twin for bass? Deafeningly loud. How's the fidelity? Think 8-bit. Sorry, 5 tries and the video won't upload. Here's a pic. Check him out on youtube. here's a youtube clip-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU1bsX8yvQ0
