i don't recall that amp being very good at distorted bass sounds. that's probably what's missing. that and being able to play like him that's the source of a player's tone...how they play. and since we're all different, you really can't just cop someone's tone through gear.
I know I won't be able to get the Pantera bass tone from my current set-up. I just wanted to give you an idea of the kind of music I play. I'd be completely satisfied with a generic equalizer setting that would be good for the type of music that I play. I've been googling for a while now with no luck in finding example settings. I would greatly appreciate a point in the right direction.
I found with the new tour tnt the best setting for the eq was to drop the 40hz slightly keep the 100 flat and boost the 200 a bit cut the 400 and shape the rest to suit your ear. I also didnt use the scoop button. I also found the overdrive better by just turning up the input gain and leaving the distortion off. Dont know how this setting will be for metal but works well for what i play.
The shape that gives you the best mix and still keeps you from burning speakers is the shape to use. Forget all cookie cutter visual stuff and EXPERIMENT with each band, cutting and boosting, combinations. Really LEARN EQ and what each band is doing and you'll never need to lean on poor generalizations. EARS rule.
