[LAU] Nice plugins for acoustic bass guitar ?

[Bill Gribble]

An "acoustic bass guitar" is a bit of an oxymoron.  The whole idea of it 
was invented for "MTV Unplugged" so that bass players who couldn't play a 
double bass would have something to do.  Nobody ever hears them 
acoustically, they just can't keep up with an unplugged band.  You need a 
much bigger body to decently reproduce low frequency sound.  So forget 
about mic technique, use a good DI, and treat it like an electric bass, 
which it is.

Thanks,
Bill Gribble
