Went on a road trip last weekend to the South West Korea. Played a couple smaller cities (2 million ppl). Both clubs provided less than decent bass rigs

Club A - Crate Powerblock into an Ashdown 4x10 slanted guitar cab

Club B - Won Sound 1x15 combo (think a much bigger version of the worst practice amp you ever had...or the bastard child of a Gorilla and a Behringer)

HOWEVER the SUB made both of them completely acceptable. While the guitarist was happily playing through 2 different Marshalls (typical...:)) I was able to get decent tone from both using the SUB.

After each show I had a PILE of comments on the tone. People were blown away by how good it sounded. Now I know it wasn't me that made the difference....had to be the SUB! IT was great to see the bottoms bouncing and not worry about trying to tweak a mediocre set up to sound good.

Sorry to keep preaching about what is/was a lower end MM bass but DAYUM it just performs like nobody's business at gigs....

So far I have gigged with it through the two aforementioned rigs, an EBS Fafner into EBS 2x10+1x15, a GK Backline rig into GK 1x15, Ampeg SVT Pro into Ampeg 4x10 and Ashdown MAG 1x15, Ampeg B500R into a faulty 1x15 a Behringer 1x15 combo, and a Peavey TNT Sheffield. EVERY time I have had a great comments on the tone ...couldn't be happier. Prior to this I was playing a Fenfer Jazz, Gibson T-Bird or an MTD Kingston...the SUB really has been the easiest to plug and play and get good consistent tone.

Thanks for such a great product EBMM!!:)

I played quite a few gigs in Indonesia through "house backline" Crate combos and locally made heads, and the beater Stingray I had with me still managed to sound great, so I know what you mean.

It is great to know that you have a tool that gets the job done regardless..

our singer/pianist/harp fellah (bandleader) gave me that "damn you sound good" look a pile of times since I switched to the SUB...the guitar player made a point of coming over 1/2 way through the first set of the first gig I used it at and yelled "always use that bass"

kick ass piece for sure....I am slowly planning my next SR purchase........going home in August and heading right to Macaulleys Music in Cambridge, ONT to place my order. :)
