SS bowl would be sweet if you play plugged in and have to stand next to the bass player. |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | I've got the '95 1885 12-string shallowbowl and the sound is awesome.
I think unplugged, it has a lot more top end chime and is perfect in a living room size area. Where it lacks is the low bass side, that the deep bowl throws out. Plugged in, you can really shake the walls with it. It carries a tune that is hard to beat IMHO :D |
