Suggested Settings
This is the “lite” version of the classic scooped bass tone preferred by slap
& pop players. The Bass control is on the 40Hz
setting for true low-frequencies, both Mid-Range controls are cut and the Treble is on the 8kHz setting for a sophisticated
“pop” sound. This setting also warms up the back pick
-up tone of a J-Bass without killing the growl. *
Remember, when you
cut you can add amp gain to make-up the loss in volume
This is a very bass heavy setting that works nicely for Reggae, Salsa etc. where that velvety, almost blurry tone fits the
music. *
Remember, when you add gain in the EQ section you’re also adding overall gain to the signal path and you should
take a look at the bargraph to see if you’re not overdriving the circuit.
Mike Pope’s setting for his
Acoustic Bass:
The LF on an acoustic bass can get out of control quickly and as the setting
shows we’re cutting the Bass a bit at the 40Hz setting. Mike adds a little cutting, punchy goodness at the 1.8kHz setting on
the Hi-Mid EQ and suggests that the Treble frequency at 8kHz can be adjusted to taste. Acoustic basses differ dramatically
so your settings may be radically different.
