TeresaFR Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I've been trying to find out what frequencies on my bass, the three-band EQ is designed to cut and band at but I couldn't find much information. A review I saw by Rodney McG says the mid is set at 900hz but that's all I have (thanks by the way, if you're reading this.) The bass in question is a 2019 Schecter Riot-4 Aurora Burst. In a broader sense, I'm trying to work out where all the EQ's in my signal chain operate and I found the info on my Tech 21 VT Bass DI, quite easily - 125hz, 500hz, 3.2khz for the record. I think it's good to know what exactly we have control over, in general but particularly before throwing down on further EQ options. I understand there may be a case for doubling up, if placement of EQ in a signal chain is going to be a significant factor on sound. Presumably, less of an impactor on a shorter chain than a longer one. Also curious where the active basses of others have their EQ cut/boost points set, so please drop that in below if you want to.

ikay Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I collected some info on eq freq centres a few years ago for the same reason as you mention. I don't have freqs for the Schecter but here's a spreadsheet with what I collected for info. I put the fundamental freqs of standard bass tuning and the first harmonic (which is usually dominant) in rows 3-4 for ref. Below this are the ISO standard freqs for a 31-band graphic eq. The centre freqs for various devices are shown below this, mapped out against the 31-band freqs. Bass EQ Freqs.xlsx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) You didn't search that much as the preamp is stated on Schecter website for this bass... : https://www.schecterguitars.com/bass/riot-4-bass-inferno-burst-detail And the preamp used : https://www.emgpickups.com/b30eq-sys.html Then the specifications : Edited November 27, 2021 by Hellzero Wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaFR Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hellzero - apparently, I did not. My mistake for not looking more into the preamp data, thank you for that, it's appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 No problems, I may sound harsh, but that's because I never take gloves. It helped you, so that's the most important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
