Hey everybody. I’ve been trying to figure this out for a little while now, and I’m hoping you guys might have some insight. I have an Ernie ball music man stingray 4 string bass, and I’ve been having a constant problem with the low e string sounding extremely dead and thuddy compared to the...

This actually made me feel a bit better about the situation. I have yet to really hear of anyone who was not 100% a fan of the Darkglass. I think it is a fantastic amp, but not necessarily for the style of music that I’m playing (plus I feel like I’m not using it to its full potential since I...

I played a gig with it a few weeks ago, but the DG was being pumped through a sound system with two high power subwoofers and a full PA, and it sounded great, but I can’t seem to get a decent tone with just practice volume. Our space is not very great for sound as it is, but these are relatively...

It was a though that I had for sure, but I’d much rather stick with the 4 string, the previous bass player of this band made it work for years, I actually purchased this bass from her a while ago (it was her secondary and she sold it to me when she left the band). I didn’t have these issues when...

I’ve tried a few different types of strings, previously I had a five string Dunlop set on it at .130, which I assumed the dead string was due to the string being so heavy, so I tried switching to Ernie ball power slinkies .110, which is just too flubby at Bb. So I’ll likely be putting .130s back...

I’ve tweaked just about every setting on the sansamp, and the one in the photo is just the one that I’ve landed on that gets me the closest to a decent tone. I’ve ran the head straight as well and I’m not a fan of how it sounds without the sansamp. I started everything flat and worked around...

Surprisingly, I hate the way the Darkglass sounds without the Sansamp. To the point where I’m not sure if maybe I even have a defective unit. It sounds so incredibly flat and sterile, the only way I was even able to compensate a little bit was with the sansamp

Referring to the Bb as a low E, yes (sorry, I’m a guitarist first haha). I’ve attached some photos to the threat of my EQ on both my head and my board. I feel like I’m not getting enough low end out of the amp in general at times, and it’s almost too tinny. It just sounds so sterile. I’ve messed...

hey everyone. I’ve come here to hopefully find a solution as to why my rig sounds the way it does. First of all, here’s what I’m playing out of: (We play Melodic Hardcore in drop B flat) Darkglass M900 Bass Head Ashdown RT610 Sansamp Bass Driver DI MXR Bass Compressor Boss TU-3 Tuner Mexican...
