I have no need for a BAT nor do I own one yet I voted anyways :twisted: . I am really like the look of old american bats such as Mr. Jacobs york but I like the sound of Kaiser bats much more, always have. Back in school I was caught up in the york bat frenzy and then it all of the sudden hit me that I liked the sound of the kaizers much more. :wink: Lol I always hated playing big tubas to 4/4 and down is such more convienent if your not trying for a pro symphony gig.

I voted other because my current BAT is a Martin. It is a 3 valve, top action, recording bell BBb. I used it for a concert last night and got compliments on the sound. I find it a lot easier to deal with since I have started using a K&M playing stand with it.

I have owned a Holton and 5 different Conn 2XJs and like the Martin best of all of them.
