Back onto soundmen, one of the places big tuna occasionally play has a reasonable PA. The sound guy has his mixer in the bar area about 30feet from the front of the stage. So, does he listen to the sound and adjust it? Nope! he listens to the desk through headphones and bases his mix on that! consequently, the bass is always lost (it doesn't help that the house rig is an ashdown combo).

That was our PA (8 channel mixer and a pair of wharfdale powered 12's on poles) and we only put the vocals plus a little of the guitars through it. Our lead guitarist does all the mixing for that and I just turn up to a suitable level.
Don't forget, that gig my preamp wasn't pushing the power amp fully due to the near-dead output transistors. Next time we're there, come along and hear how the full rig sounds with the signature.

p.s. JUST and Epic? It's still an Alembic ;-)
