    Confused about EQing

    Hey guys. I’m hoping this isn’t a dumb question but I really need help figuring out some EQ issues I’ve been having. A lot of the bass parts I play in my band are meant to stick out. I obviously don’t want to be the center of attention tone-wise though. The last gig we had, I messed around with...

    How to get napalm death's behs tone?

    I've looked literally everywhere i can think of (googled it once) and i couldn't find any discussions on the matter. Anyone got any ideas (preferably relating to eq and general effects instead of specific amps/pedals because i am exceedingly poor). For reference, i mean something like 2:04 in...

    EQ help: D#2 "falls out" in my mix

    Hi all. I've been recording myself for a few years now, but I'm still kind of new to it, and I've been using Presonus Studio Pro as my DAW. Normally for cover songs, what I do is buy the song I want to cover from karaoke-version.com, then drag the backing track into my DAW, mute their bass...

    Best frequency settings to use

    What are the best frequency settings to use on your eq setup on your pedal board. I like a deep bass tone but sharp clean punch sound to go though all the noise from rest of band. No muddy sounds

    How to achieve a “clanky” tone

    Listen to this song. You’ll hear the bass tone right away. I assume this is the clanky sound associated with metal that I’ve heard people discuss. In any case I cannot get anything remotely sounding like this. So TB heads help me out how would you go about trying to get this type of sound?

    What is the "EQ" on Fender Player Series single-coil Jazz Bass pickups?

    Question: what is the EQ on the stock MIM Fender Player Jazz Bass pickups? Background: I have a 2020 or 2021 stock Fender Player Jazz Bass. I mostly like the tone, but at higher volumes there's hum (less after shielding the bass), so I've been thinking about upgrading the pickups to some...

    Getting rid of the clank

    I'm trying to get rid of the clank on my bass guitar. I have nickel strings and am using the neck pickup only, as I found it gives the least clank. The goal is to make the bass sound like a low tuned metal guitar (or at the very least as close as possible). The clank gets really unpleasant...

    How to EQ heavy distortion?

    TL/DR: Super easy to EQ clean bass. Struggling to EQ distorted bass. What am I missing? I recently purchased a Tech 21 Q\Strip. Fantastic little eq pedal/DI box. It's been super easy for me to dial in clean tones for a lot of different genres. I'm satisfied with my clean sound overall, but the...
