Back home now and on my regular computer... Yes, Sebi, I can see where the U Bass would give you a whole different palette to work with, tonally and stylistically. Unfortunately I only got to spend about 10 or 15 minutes with it. It would be interesting to actually play one. I was wondering if they feedback at high volume. Have you ever used one onstage? I have an Ampeg SVT3 head and usually a 4x10 cabinet. The entire bass sound for stage and room pretty much comes from my cabinet, since I can't seem to get any of my bands interested in actually mic'ing or DI'ing anything.... *sigh*.
