I have a long-time friend who is a fine country guitar player/singer. When I have a job that requires some country, I hire him (If he's not available I just don't do the job). We alternate sets, with me playing bass behind him and him singing several songs during my sets. He insists on bringing his Bose and won't use anything else. I have tried his system, even to the point of using his settings, which sound fine for him, and an acoustic guitar.

I don't like it at all, and he does not like and won't use whatever I'm using (usually, a Carvin or Yamaha head and appropriate speakers).

Just goes to show that not everyone likes everything. I've given the Bose several chances, with the help of a die-hard endorser.

It's just not for me.
