Stompin´ Bass : Not the best sound, useability or durability

I got one of these to use in an acoustic duo, used it for a couple of gigs and found it's sound difficult to mix / use because of it's resonant frequencies (very mid orientated and not much oomph in the bass) and ability to pickup the sound of footsteps from people moving about near to it. An eq and a noise gate later and things were slightly more manageable, but it never really gave the sound or performance quality I was looking for / would expect from something of this ilk. Other issues I had with it were it's ability to slip around on almost any surface and the pad section coming unstuck from the wood. Battery drain wasn't a problem and the build of the wooden box was pretty sturdy, but sadly, these positives were not enough for me to continue using it and it went to a new home.
