Ill try adjusting my controls on the bass...

    Bass Tone Help!

    The thing with the room is the bass amp is set up in the corner with a book shelf to the left, a window behind it and my bed in front of it. String wise I currently use Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Roundwound Strings (.45-.105) the orange pack. These were recommended to me at my local music store.
