    Getting lost in the mix?

    Hi All, I'm having a bit of problem with getting the full range of my bass to cut through playing live (root notes up to 5th come across fine, melodic fills not so much..) I use a Fender precision with maple neck and a violin pick up and SG bass pick up added going straight into a trace...
