Took my grab n go rig to band practice last night rather than my Two Rock Ruby and 1X12 loaded with a Scuminco. My grab n go is a Powerblock into a tiny pine cab with a Jensen Neo. My total cash outlay for my grab n go rig is about $170. My bandmates are pretty darn good musicians with big ears, and my cousin on bass is head recording engineer for a Nashville label. The other difference is that I played my WCR loaded Malmsteen sig strat rather than my Timbucker carrying Historic LP. I personally really like the feel of playing my high-dollar rig much better, and I think it also sounds somewhat more complex, rich, and musical.
They all liked the grab n go rig BETTER. I think some of it is that in order to lower the SPLs to a usable level with the fancy gear I use an attenuator, but its still fairly loud, wheras the Powerblock rig I am able to play a bit quieter, so some of it just may be the mix. Maybe the less of me you hear, the better the band sounds! Still, makes me wonder a little about how much difference all this cork sniffing really makes in the real world.
