Re: my band

hi,

you want a "clean" sound? make sure you're not playing too loud. make sure the amps are operating at a point where there's lots of headroom - no clipping or distortion when you're playing through them. hit the strings gently. don't use fuzz pedals! hope this helps.





on bass, watt
