You're talking crazy. Most serious bassists have a graphic and a compressor in a gigging rackmount to compliment their amp. You may as well plug straight into the PA if yer gonna rely on the sound man for your EQ.

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
