Wessex TC694H Chicago-Presence with a Giddings MMVI

I'm still playing with the right combinations of mpc to instrument here, gone through about 10 candidates and the MMVI is the best match for me at this point.

Packer/Sterling JP377 compensating Eb with a Mr. P 6.4 if I want a bright, penetrating tone, or a Stofer Helleberg if I want a darker, deeper sound. I still want to try a Wick 2XL with this; I think it might be the perfect match.

I play on a Miraphone 181 F with a G&W Matanuska mostly. Bought tubagr8's BMB J-865 over the weekend, mouthpiece TBD for that one. Will probably bring my Bobo out of retirement for the short term at least.
