When I warmed up, I swear I played faster double-bass than I have before, and I'm sure that the ease of listening (and feeling) the hits contributed significantly.
Whereas the day before I was auditioning bass players (for a different band) in a home-made jam room (converted garage) which has a really dead sound - bottom end sounds don't seem to carry much at all. I just couldn't get the double-bass working well in there.
