| For my lap steel playing... no, not unless the muzzle of a large caliber sidearm was pressed to my temple. I require the same style/type of amplification for lap steel as I do for most of my standard guitar playing: a tube amp with an open back speaker cabinet. In other words: Low-Fi! Bose amplification would be way too "Hi-Fi" for my desires. Additionally, I mostly subscribe to the following slogan: "No highs, no lows; that's Bose!" |

I will have to respectfully disagree with your assessment of the Bose, Jon. We use three towers in our trio and get the most natural acoustic reproduction of anything I have ever used. As for my lap steel I am with you on the tube sound. So I use an early fifties champ and mike it, then let the Bose push the sound because it fills a room much more evenly than a larger amp or a more traditional PA does. You can ask our up right player about the lows, he can shake a room if he wants too. I could go on about all that I like about the Bose system, I have been performing since 77, tried alot of equipment and for a system that doesn't require a soundman to make sure the mix is balanced I think it can't be beat.I am not a Bose salesmen.

I did not intend any insult, and hope you do not see my opinions as such. I know a lot of folks like the Bose products. As with you, I like my lap steel through a small amp and re-enforced through the PA as needed. |
