“The complete lack of feedback surprised me”

NC-based bassist David George, a multi-instrumentalist (of various stringed acoustic instruments) who focuses primarily on bass guitar.

The D5400’s noted feedback suppression is more than a noted feature, it’s a fact, offered George. “The complete lack of feedback surprised me,” he said. “When I switched over to an electric bass guitar for a few songs, our soundman neglected to mute the D5400.
This would not usually be a problem; however, to avoid bleed into our vocal mics, I aimed the front of my Gallien-Krueger MB110 at a right angle to the stage. When I sat my upright bass down, the speaker was aimed about a foot or so away, center-line, at the back of my upright bass. It was several songs later before I realized I had done this, but the D5400 did not feedback once during the remainder of the performance! That’s amazing. Had it been my clip-on condenser or a pickup, I’m sure I would have generated a low-end feedback loop that would have sent this bluegrass audience into a panic!”
