I think it might depend on the bass and pickup you use as well as strings. Using an 1890 Lamy 7/8 French Gamba with g,d,a Evah weichs, spiro e and a shadow 2-wing piezo (Underwood style), the sound in my opinion is excellent. Any deeper and it would be muddy on the bottom. Maybe that's my bass. A thin sounding bass acoustically will have a problems with treble in an amp. You can turn the horn/tweeter off and the treble down as well.

By the way, what was the price difference retail between the two amps you had?
