Used on basically all of 1997's "Brown Album". according to this old web interview/article, Les confirms that the main amp he used on the Brown Album was this small solid-state bass amp. he states, " for me, it's easier to get tones out of smaller, quieter amps, because you're not feeling the big sound in the room, but just hearing what the mic hears. The mic can't feel the rumble that you feel through the ground. Anyway, our success rate has been higher when we've kept the volume's down."
