Which solid state amp(s) have you heard demonstrate the best bass control? I'm not talking "go the lowest", I'm talking "tight tight - super tight grip on the bass". I'm talking "fast" as well. The proverbial Kung-Fu Grip!
As a person who plays bass guitar, I resent all this control people seem to want to have over bass. Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I think I have the right to be utterly out of control.
Mbvoaird...whew...I was making a joke, and by the way my Eden bass cabs, a 12, a 15, and a 2X10, make most home audio speakers sound weak and silly...and they're paper. Also almost zero pro guitar players including myself use anything other than tube guitar amps, although for bass amps SS can sound fine.
My band in Honolulu opened for Led Zeppelin in 1969 and John Paul Jones decided to use the bass amps loaned to us by a local music store...2 Sunn 2000S rigs with the stock large 2X15 JBL cabinets (nobody I knew ever actually owned one of these speakers as the 200S smaller cab was so cool)...plus our bass player's smaller 200S rig. That's a lot of bass for 1969. No clue what Jones had brought for the gig, but it never appeared.
