On the last few things I have been producing or mixing or both, the Collins 26W has really been amazing on the Bass DI. I have had the bass multed to a few channels with a culture vulture driving, the 26W, and sometimes a Purple MC77 or a simple dbx160X on like the 100:1 setting, post EQ just so I can wind on some "development" in the low end or mids or whatever is lacking. The Matisyahu thing had that setup on the bass for Stu's bass, and i was loving it. The Watussi record had it for Pat's bass, but without all the mukting, just 1 channel of bass DI with one aux going to the Culture vulture. That one sounds great. If you listen on the song "tu te vas" the 26W really just makes the bass sit in a great place. This is a super cool compressor with 600v DC rails... tons of headroom, and a really great drive character for bass. It does that crazy thing where when you hit it hard it almost sounds like a subtle frequency divider in parallel is happening. Really great stuff. you can see it in the picture above with a "patapus" sticker on it.. so it was the watussi mixing sessions.
