I think it's pointless. Any real player can get the tone from their fingers, especially with only a bridge pick up only. Could someone inform me why people use EQing?  |

Your fingers can't cut frequencies below 80 Hz, nor boost 3,5 db at 370 Hz with a given width, nor compensate certain frequencies depending on the venue, nor... |

Besides, everyone knows that all bass amps sound the same.

How many bass tracks do you think that you hear on almost any album that don't have EQ on them (either on the bass, on the amp or DI, at the channel strip or board, or in the mix) and compressors are only for the unskilled, nobody tracks bass through a compressor either..... ugh
