    Hi, i've just bought a TC electronic set (RH450+RS210 &RC 4) last week an i'm looking for some advice concerning the EQ settings. So far i've managed to program a decent rock/metal/sansamp like-sound with a bit of compression and some Tubetone for that extra grind (wich is good , because that is mainly what i bought it for...), but i'm having some trouble finding a good "clean" and "slap" setting that i can use with my musicman bass. The MM's active pre-amp has a lot of output and i think that's were the problem lies... I use the bass with the pre-amp set flat and i've noticed that it seems to sound the best with the pick-up switch set in the middle (that's the jazzbass configuration i think??) but still it's hard for me to get a decent clean and/or slap sound and with the full power og the MM pick-up engaged (switch down) it's even harder to get a good definition in the lows and low-mids. When i listen closely it seems to me that when the amp is set flat (freq. controls also flat) the lows and low-mids kinda melt together and therefore loose definition on the upper strings and it gets hard for me to cut through the mix. I've tried to boost either the lows or the low-mids but that didn't really helped me getting the sound i expected from this amp. I'm not really good with EQ'ing and don't have any real technical knowledge of all the feature's on this amp, since i'm used to having 1 or 2 settings on my old EBS amp (small variations of example settings i found on the EBS website) and usually sticked to that sound, so all the advice that can help me get the best out of this baby will be very appreciated!! at the moment i'm using the amp in the following configuration: 2010 Musicman sterling 4 (pre-amp set flat) => RH 450 => RS 210 and i'm mainly looking for a good clean (fingerstyle) sound and a good slap sound. (I hope i'm able to revive this thread, because i'm sure there will be more people looking for advice on good EQ settings as there is not a lot information available on the internet concerning this topic.)

    bumpdiebump, seriously thinking about keeping it again after playing it all night, the Modulus is still tempting tho...

    [quote name='funkyspuke' post='969081' date='Sep 27 2010, 08:09 AM']I have a modulus flea bass up for sale/trade and would be looking for something like this in trade [/quote] Love the Modulus! just not really loving the silver sparkle finish right now...
  19. Bassdude BE
    Darn, i'm looking to trade my brand new Sterling in for a modulus Flea, i love this bass, too bad i don't really like this finish or i would be all over this,but i guess the silver sparkle would be a little out of place in a die hard groove-metal band... have a bump on me anyway!

    [i]QUOTE (Rowbee @ Sep 26 2010, 04:18 PM) I own both of these basses and whilst I love the Flea because of the neck and the weight of the body, I think the Sterling has much more personality and grit in its tone, and for that reason it's the bass I always come back to in the end. If buying a Flea is your reason for selling, I would keep the Sterling personally.[/i] I agree with you on that & i know i will definately miss this one when it is gone, but it's really the carbon neck and also the lightweight of the modulus that i'm after, because i have to go to rehearsels by public transport from now one , now i lost my drivers license for speeding with my motorcycle... so after trading in my EBS 3/4 stack for a compact and lightweight TC electronic combo (+ extra 210 for gigs) i'm hoping to get an even lighter set-up by trading in my musicman for a modulus... and when you have to go to two different rehearsal locations every week (1 of them at the other end of the country) weight and portability becomes a very important factor! ... also with all that moving around in mind i don't want to use my musicman for those rehearsals because i'm afraid al that travelling might do the neck of the bass no good, while the modulus has a carbon fibre neck so that's again one less thing to worry about when dragging my gear around the country ... So far the musicman has never left the house , the neck is straight as an arrow and i would preffer to keep it that way!

    New price is a lot higher + this is a very rare and beautifull finish, but if you think the price is to high; i'm open to other offers, no one ever died from asking! Hope this moves before that fleabass i'm after is sold though, otherwise there's no reason to sell it anymore... ow yes..BUMP!

    Thanks! I'm really loving this bass right now, but i had the chance to play a modulus bass in the local shop today and the neck fitted the fast playing style of my new band perfectly, if i had loads of money i would buy the Modulus and keep the sterling as well since the Modulus had a really nice neck ,but also had a more sterile sound than the Musicman, but since i already had to save up for almost a year just to be able to buy this one i guess that's not an option...
  23. Bassdude BE
