Thanks for the tips, guys. The above quote is really what I was looking for....some suggestions besides mitts that you might recommend knowing what bass I have. I'm not trying to "be" Ray or Larry. Just thought it might be helpful to give a ballpark of what sound I'm going for.

I have a couple questions to this comment. 1) what do you consider to be a "new" bass? Does my 2004 Romanian Round Back fall into that category? 2) if not spiros, then what? I am also looking for ways to make my bass sound "warm" and "fat". BTW, I currently have Mittels on my bass. I...

I'm at the point where I want to change my sound. I do play both EB and DB, but my main concern is my setup for the DB. Currently I have a Romanian Round Back w/ a Full Circle PU. I am playing through an AG 500SC and EA Wizzy 12. I just cannot get the sound I am looking for (which seems to...
