so i got the new jazz bass ibanez mode series, and the neck and preamp are abosultley great, the preamp is veyr versatile, and the neck is starting to become my favorite neck on a bass sop far.
but compared to other basses i own it lacks punch and agression, my top example is mtd kignston...
So I just discovered this:
J Bridge Pickup -> Boss LS-2 with a Joyo Oxford Sound in one of its effect loops, set like this Low: 2 o'clock, Mid: noon, High: 11 o'clock, Voice: 1 o'clock, Drive: 3 o'clock, Level: Unity, mixed with clean tone in parallel via the empty effects loop of the LS-2 at...
Monster 8x10 1200 4ohm bass cab in great shape. Sounds great but I’ve moved to a different rig.
If you’ve been having problems cutting through the mix, this cab has a focused punchy response to it.
PayPal preferred. Local pickup only.
Hey, all. I’ve been wanting to make bass covers recently using the Reaper DAW. But i’m not sure how to get a punchier pop punk-ish tone. Do I need any pedals or can i just go straight into reaper with my audio interface and record? Here’s a video of the tone i am trying to get
The person in...
Flats are usually discussed as being "thumpy" or "thuddy" - or not so much. But which flats have the most punch?*
*All opinions, subjective or objective are welcome. I have no adequate definition of thump, thud, or punch to propose, just an intuitive feel for these attributes, I hope.
Pair of Barefaced One10 cabinets
These are tiny, LOUD, and sound fantastic!
Full specs here: One10
These have barely been played. The only issue is a cosmetic defect: The tolex covering is lifting up at the edges, primarily on the back panels (where it's least visible). I imagine this could...

Nothing too crazy here, just losing my mind trying to recreate this tone on my precision bass.
It calls to mind the sound that's on a lot of 90s and 2000s rock/alt rock and I've never really been able to recreate it at home. Is it just a cranked valve amp? Normally, I've seen people recommend...
No longer available - Alleva LG5
OK, more pics/clips/musings/insanity to come, but for starters ....
This bass represents my 'not main player, but there for some sweet, G.A.S-enabling trades'
Very glad I got to experience some of Jimmy's handiwork, between this and the RA5 I had for a...

Hi there - I've been trying to get the epic bass tone on the following video at home.
Any idea as to how to get it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Hey everyone.
So here's the deal. I've been wanting to upgrade from my 35 watt 1x10 practice amp for some time now, and after a lot of research, I figure that I want a Little Mark 3 (300/500 watts). However, I can't seem to decide on cabs, and in all the threads I'm seeing about LM3 cabs, the...
I am a guitar player trying to figure a decent bass rig for small venues, just parties with friends so far but something at bars could happen, I may play bass for a band. So far I like the natural punch of the PBass. On the other hand the Jazz Bass note definition is better and seems to be a...
So it’s probably me being very analytical again, but I’m curious as how to get a really tight sounding bass tone that is really focused. I have a bass with flats, which are often agreed to be the epitome of punch, but I just want more.
On watching a video from a seemingly really intelligent guy...
So my current amp head of choice is my AD200B MKIII which I am absolutely in love with, not just from a tone perspective but from a design perspective, I love how simple it's EQ is. Once you start putting pedals in front of amps and playing with an active bass you end up feeling overwhelmed with...
a long long long long time ago
before the ice, before the snow
a teenaged iplaythatfunk wanted a more powerful sounding pickup for his Squier p-bass, (which had a duncan designed copy of the Seymour Duncan "vintage" p-pickup) and he decided on the active EMG p-bass pickup that EMG so eloquently...
I'm using my Ampeg 500 head with two Hartke 1 x 12 cabs which looks great but just doesn't deliver the punch I need. The only cabs that ever do have enough punch it seems are 4 x 10's cabs which I've used on a few gigs with a backline. They are just too heavy so I'm wondering now about two 2 x...
Aguilar DB751 w/ Headcase and Upgraded Preamp Tubes:
This is one hell of an amp but i gotta thin the herd. :/
Cosmetically and functionally this head is in excellent shape.
It is housed in an equally great condition black Aguilar head case.
When i purchased it inside were EHX and Sovtek...

I've learned plenty about overdrives from these forums, but I'm a bit puzzled with my overdrive situation right now. I used to own a "hifi" modern rig and I used a Barbershop for OD and a Phat Phuk B for a dirty boost. I could achieve a very warm distortion tone that would still cut through the...
Hi guys! Im trying to achieve this bass sound on my jazz:
Its very growly and a smooth big bass sound, but its also kind of a muffled sound without "fret noise" and that "sloppy" sounds.
The closest ive got is with this settings
1:+bass +lowmid, bridge pickup, lower tone all the way
2...
Hello everyone. New guy here.
Anyone got recommendations to volume and port tuning on a single 12PR300? Don't crave extended low end, just a tight punch in the chest that won't complain in higher SPL. Clear mids of course.
Thanks.
What kind of pickups would you recommend for upgrading my Ibanez Mikro's stock J and P pickup to get a more punchy sound?
What I like to achieve is a punchy aggressive, yet clear sound, I figure that would be pickups that favors the mid range spectra, but which would do that for me?
I've been...
So I converted my cheap Epiphone SG Special guiar to a baritone tuned A-A, and as it turned out it actually works really well.
It plays great and sound great acoustically.
I can get it to sound fairly well when run through my EHX Black Finger compressor and adding a bit of chorus and spring...
I'm building a P/J. Bolt neck, passive. I'm looking at the Geezer EMGs. Will they fit what I want? I'm looking for a warm P sound with a nice punch yet still having that warm T bird tone. Are the geezers the right direction?
I've used a Mesa boogie Walkabout head and various Mesa boogie cabs for ages and one of the things I noticed when playing at home for practice and at a gig last night was that it doesn't give a good full sound at low volumes. The gig was background jazz so low volume needed as people needed to...
I'm wondering what would be the best option for warm, punchy P pickups. This seems like a commonly-asked question but what's uncommon about it is how I intend to use them. I plan on placing them in a mockingbird with two P pickups. I want punch without it getting to muddy. Active or passive...
I'm looking for a little tone sculpting/tweaking advice.
Right now I have a rig consisting of Ampeg SVT-CL through a Peavy VB-810 and a newer American standard P with Seymour Duncan quarter pounders in it. For the most part it rocks, however, at times I wish my tone was a bit more focused...
Hi all, this is my first thread. I am an old school metalhead that has been playing bass for a long time and then had to quit quite sometime due to relocation, job, private life etc. Recently I decided to make a comeback and bought myself gear which I can call quite decent as follows:
Ibanez...
I am thinking of investing in a new pair of pickups for my Ibanez Mikro (passive P/J configuration) coming the 1st of March.
My preliminary thought is to get a pair of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound.
Am I all wrong in my choice if I want a punchy, raw, aggressive, yet clean sound out of my bass...
