Also .. playing a Jazz with a pick I use the settings below and both pups on full IMG_4460.thumb.jpeg.2864b3257d8c3f9d15c4d1b5541572a0.jpeg

Got the pedal.

I’ll try that setting out also. Big rip in 400 eh?

do you set your amp flat while having these settings?

Yes I was using my ABM600 head, mostly flat EQ, bass boosted ( 40hz ) a little 
As pick playing brings out a high in mids tone I found that backing off 400hz really added to the depth of tone. It doesn’t get buried in the band mix and sounds great. 
I wouldn’t do that fingerstyle of course !!

I gigged the set up last weekend and it’s the best sound I’ve had. Better than both my PBass 

 

I was close to giving up on my Jazz bass but now it’s my first choice 

 

I play in a loud rock band .. think AC/DC, Foo Fighters, Queen etc etc

Cool, we do some queen and Ac/DC too.

Yeah I prefer the sound of a Precision but I’ve got the Fender Aerodyne 32” medium scale which has the traditional Jazz bass pickups.

Hoping the MXR 6 band and some of your setting get me a nice thick tone or I’ll be looking into pickups and series/parallel switching.
