    Why do people dislike you?

    Punch from Carvin BX500 & Epifani PS115

    FWIW, this is how I set mine; I'm using an Avatar 212neo cab. J-bass straight into amp Contour - Off Bass - Flat Low Mid - Around 125-150Hz - +6db Hi Mid - Around 500Hz - +3db Treble - Flat That usually does it for me, plenty punchy.

    Beer through a straw
