Subject:Re: bass amps for keyboards?


Our Wall of Sound was a Fender Bassman, a Dual Showman and a Kustom Bass Amp
in a row with my Leslie 45 on a pedestal (sometimes behind the other amps)
and miked through the Bassman. I could not afford an amp so I was ASHAMED
that I had to borrow the bass players old rig. Our mentor and big brother,
"Father Soul," would tell me that it sounded great, but I thought he was
just trying to make me feel better.

Now I know.
