Saturday night I used me new AL live for the first time!
Well, it simply sounded beautiful! It didn't matter how loud I played, it cut through the mix at every level and it never got on my nerves! Also the other musicians loved the tone and looks of it. Even one guy from the audience came to me after the show and complimented on the sound. He described it as tonally perfectly balanced and that was what I felt, too. I tried all the different PUs and they all sounded just perfect. I found myself playing better and using much more sounds than usually. It was possible to find a good and matching sound for every song. I also made much more use of the tone knob than usually. I only added some delay from time to time, a little bit of reverb from my Deluxe Reverb and nothing more.
Only downside: the gig was outside with a roofed stage and some swallows would settle down under the roof and poop on the stage - I was really cautious and kept the case closed!!
I am absolutely thrilled with that instrument! I have never had more fun playing the guitar! Thanks Music Man!
@Spud: I remember that you told me not to be surprised about compliments on the good tone. But I was really stunned when it really happened at the very first live gig with the guitar!!
