Plug straight into the PA and lose my entire low end? Like you said MOST serious bassists, I prefer the raw sound of my amplifier with as little mixing from outside sources as possible (Sound engineer, Mixer, Etc) cause I want to go for an authentic warm vintage sound, and when I add in several compressors, mixers, E.Q modules I end up sounding too modern or lose that "sludge" edge.

Like I said, I use SVT-4 Pro just to bi-amp because the power load, generally I'm running through SunnO))) and matamps because that gives me a raw vintage 70's sound and the matamp allows me to completely cut the midrange and treble so I can get as sludgy as I wanna get
