Hi All, first time poster so be gentle. Im running a Standard Fender Squire Bass through a Behringer BXL3000 combo amp. The sound im trying to get is a bit like Blink 182, Bowling for soup etc. That pop/punk sound. (sad, i know) Any suggestions on how to achieve this? I've fiddled with settings but cant put my finger on it. Is it worth splashing out on a FX pedal? Any advice would be great Also check out my band: www.facebook.com/deathtoindieuk
