    Fractal FM3/FM9 - let's talk

    I have an FM3. Want to try it with my bass (used it mostly for guitar so far). 1) Do you know of a suitable EQ or PEQ to use with it for my bass tones? 2) Also, I have an acoustic bass using K&K twin pickups….needs a preamp. I assume the FM3 will work as well for that as a separate preamp?

    So one question for the serious bass players…do you find you still need another bass besides the Ric (ex P bass or Jazz bass) or do you find your Ric does everything you need?

    It’s a crappy design of a great idea, actually.

    yeah - that doesn’t work…I think the dampener is below the end of the screws… can’t fix it by turning screws….

    bought her new online…I’m lefty so really zero chance of try before you buy.

    Screws don’t work…I think it is unthreaded below the end of the screws…

    yes. I realized after very close look that the dampener is there….…but it is very very low (level of the wood) and the two screws won’t work…if I understand correctly, I must remove the strings and unscrew the bridge to get to it….

    Bought Ric 4003—no dampener

    I just bought a Ric 4003….there is no dampener. Does this come with the bass normally. or is it an extra purchase? Didn’t see many people who use theirs…is it useful? Was a little surprised day two after I purchased it new to see no dampener.
