I'm in a hardcore/ metal band and I want my bass to sound heavier. What should I do to do so? Thank you. |

If you want distortion, then that's a whole different ball game.

I've boosted the mids quite a lot as well as which let's me cut through quite well. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
