About Equalization
The specific EQ you will apply to your bass signal is very much dependent upon your particular instrument and
personal taste and playing style. However, here are a few general suggestions:
•
For that super-deep reggae or Motown sound, boost the Bass EQ slightly while attenuating the MID and
Treble EQ.
•
To remove boxiness and make your instrument sound more “hi-fi,” try attenuating the Mid EQ control.
•
For a twangy, cutting sound, try boosting the Treble EQ. (Putting new roundwound strings on your bass will
help a lot also!)
•
Whenever you get a really good EQ setting for a particular instrument or song, write it down (you’d be
amazed how easy it is to forget these things!).
•
As you experiment with the EQ controls of the LH Series, don’t forget that your bass also provides significant
EQ control in the form of its pickup and tonal settings—this can be particularly effective in instruments that
have active circuitry.
