Pseudonym Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I wouldn’t dare. My bass has a sharp left hook. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I usually just boost the mids a little. If it sounds a bit brittle I might cut the upper mids a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 1 minute ago, ahpook said: That sounds like a punchy tone In all seriousness, I like the chiming harmonics on my Warwick, so the low end is set to be resonant rather than growling and the upper-mids are basically left alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Right - it's an EQ thing, gotcha. (I can be on-topic, sometimes) What's the intended effect ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilorius Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Daahhh.......i didn't meant it like eq, but a punch, when You get a little angry to Your bass for something. BUT let's continue, anyway. Now I have to say Yes, i do it always, I like to add a middle a lot and cut the upper middle frequencies to low middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT let's continue, anyway. Now I have to say Yes, i do it always, I like to add a middle a lot and cut the upper middle frequencies to low middle. Punching bass, bad idea, will hurt your hand.. Suggest P. Simonon method.. As regards tone, on the PJ I have everything turned right up, max vol on both, max tone on master. The faux Rick thing always treble pick up only and again max tone. The bass Vl has lots of options so can't really say one only, and I do switch about with it The Gretsch Vl I only really use the neck pickup, but with tone right up max, yet again. Stingray btw I reckon you can't really have the treble boost right up as it'd take the top of your head off! Any other bass shape things are disassembled in bits at the mo HTH 😁 Edited July 8, 2023 by Waddo Soqable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boodang Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Passive pups aren't going to have much response above 6k, so I cut everything above that just to keep noise to a minimum,and boost 3.6k for harmonics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
