Exactly. Taylors don't have a loud, boomy bass, It's a tight, punchy bass. People often say Taylors are "too bright" because of this, but that's not that case at all. Perfect for retaining low end yet sitting well in the mix of a live band like DMB.

I would definitely agree. Martins, especially of the dreadnought variety like the HD-28, are the kind of acoustic that has a larger bass frequency, and more "boom". So, when it's just Dave, or D&T, it's the ideal guitar to take up more sonic real estate in that more stripped-down environment.
