bass guitars. Was I wrong?

The idea is to hear the sound of the instrument, straight from the pickup
as I stated previously.

Using a DI doesn't give the sound of the instrument, though, Iain.

The sound from the pickup, without any possible additional
colouration from amp, and mic is what I suggested you evaluate.
Your valiant attempts at blowing smoke did not go un-noticed:-)).

It's all pretty academic really, as you almost
certainly will not bother to make the comparison I described:-)

It is indeed.

Do the test with the ESL and then tell me your thoughts.

BTW Dave. In the ten years or so that I have been following
this NG, I must have read hundreds of your posts - but not one
AFAICR has ever mentioned music. What do you listen to?
