    Loosing low ends with distortions

    Hi everyone! I'm wondering what would be the best way to avoid the loose of low ends while switching on the distortions. My board has one Boss Ds1 and a proco Rat and since they're guitar pedals, they cut a lot of low frequencies and there is a big difference between the clean sound freqs and...

    TRBX 504 bass...any idea what the EQ frequencies are?

    Hi, I own a TRBX 504, which I love. I'm curious what the EQ frequencies are, when dealing with the on-board electronics. I can't seem to find that info anywhere. I know that I can boost or cut...but which frequency (in hertz) are the EQ knobs centered around? Does anyone know? Cheers,

    Anyone tuning at 432hz?

    Standard is to tune to A = 440hz, but there are several voices saying that we should be tuning to 432hz as was done in the past, to sync all harmonics to the base earth frequency of 8hz. If anyone is doing it, have you felt any difference? Do you know availabe tuners in the market to tune at...

    Looking for a 1 band parametric EQ pedal/circuit for boosting the low frequencies.

    Part of my zanny experiments, looking to make this circuit part of my onboard preamp. Not looking for a 3 band para-eq (which I already have) and not just a simple bass boost. I need to be able to select frequencies from the sub-bass to at least the low mids. Getting higher frequencies would be...

    A couple of questions about resonant frequencies and dead notes

    I just recently made two purchases that have me a little perplexed... I bought: A used Fender Rumble 75, and A used Squier Affinity Jazz bass The Rumble is the most powerful amp I have ever owned. My gigs are all in churches that have professional audio systems and monitoring. I honestly have...

    Why do frequencies disappear?

    I am not sure if this is a bass amp question or an electric bass question. So I will ask it hear as people are likely more knowledgeable in the amp area than in the bass area -- the issue seems to be electronic. I have a Cort Curbow -- one of the classic ones from the 90's -- and when I played...

    HELP: DIY Stingray 2 band preamp question - bass & treble frequencies

    Hello all. A couple of months ago I picked up one of those DIY 2 Band Stingray style preamps from a fellow TB'er. I believe it was made using one of those Uncle Fluffy boards. Anyway, I finally got around to installing it. I put it in one of my Stingray's using the stock pickup. I'm not too...

    B7K Ultra Frequencies Question

    Making this more specific to the B7K Ultra because I am not quite sure the true proper forum to put this in, but I would also like to know if the answer generally applies anything with an equalizer. I am playing around with the B7K to get some certain tones and need some help. The frequencies...

    Double Bass EQ frequencies for double bass?

    Of the dozens of bass amps out there, very few have the same frequency centers for their tone controls. Many of them are obviously designed for bass guitar. I would like to see a discussion on this subject, particularly from people who are very pleased with the eq section of their amps as...

    Is a guitar EQ pedal enough to cut out low frequencies to play guitar amp?

    Hello talkbass! I have the opportunity to get hold of a fish'n chips eq pedal for cheap; I need an eq pedal to cut out the low mids and low frequencies for biamping with a guitar amp and not make the speakers blow. I realized that turning the bass knob down doesn't operate the low frequencies...

    Double Bass Distortion in upper frequencies from bass pickup

    Hi guys! First, I want to clarify that I am not a bassist, but an audio engineer in a jazz club, so double bass is a hugely important part of my work! I have a distortion problem that seems to be following me, and I'm having a hard time troubleshooting it. I'm hoping you can help me. In my...

    Low frequencies travel along the wall

    So I've heard multiple times that low frequencies tend to travel along the wall and are most present in corners (and therefore sound isolation for low frequencies are put in the corner, if I am not mistaken.) However, I have never gotten any explanation why. Can someone help me out?

    not understanding bass string frequencies and crossover settings

    So open bass strings go from roughly 40hz to 100hz. Crossovers are typically set at 100hz. Doesn't this mean that almost all of the bass sound is going through the subwoofer? Isn't this NOT what you want? Wouldn't you prefer your mids and highs to go through the typical dual 15 PA speakers...

    Feed back and bass frequencies

    I have noticed in certain situations that when I play a note like C# we get I get a boomy sound or even feed back in the PA system. I have experienced this in other venues when playing different notes. It happened today in church, causing the sub woofers to feed back. Is this caused by room gain...

    Boosting vs. Cutting Frequencies

    When setting up the EQ on your amp, how do you go about deciding which knobs to boost vs. cut? My first inclination when setting EQ is to use boost to correct tone and even out deficiencies (e.g., boost bass to add bottom, boost mids or treble to cut through) - but are there circumstances...

    Trying to get more of the fundamental from my A string

    I played through a rig this past weekend where my open A String through fret 5 (D) had a lot of nice bass. It typically does not have that. My guild starfire is pretty boomy once you get further up the neck. It was through a MarkBass LittleMark 210. I don't recall how the EQ was set...

    Very low frequencies and music

    I've been fascinated by the perception of very low frequencies for many years now and thought I'd share some thoughts and questions. I honestly don't know if anyone gives a poopie. FWIW, I enjoy a lot of old music, primarily because all of the parts need to be played by humans on instruments that...

    Mesa Walkabout Scout can't handle low frequencies

    EQ frequencies after OD

    Not sure of the wording to search for my question so I apologize if it's been answered. I basically want to know how to determine which frequencies to boost with a 10 band EQ after an overdrive sucks some of the tone out. I know usually it's the lower range, but how would I figure out how much...

    Onboard preamp frequencies

    Other than Mike Pope Flexcore, does anyone know of an onboard preamp that does 80hz, sweepable mid, and 6k-10k treble? Bartolini does 30hz Bass (really???), nice mid selectors, and a 10K Treble. Nordstrand is close except for a 4K Treble, too low for my liking. Noll is similar, but they DO...

    RTA/white noise question

    What programs do folks use to pump white noise into an amp or pedal, then read a RTA readout to check the EQ points? Bass Gear Mag does this with all their tests, but I can't figure out what they use, and I've seen someone else do this to figure out what the Enhance knob on SWR amps does. I'd...
