Hi, im having a problem when playing lower notes on my bass, mainly the low E string. I play a passive fender precison bass and play with a pick so it can get a bit agressive at times. The low notes just seem to build up and shake the room, i have used a Boss LMB, it tames the low notes, but then breaks out of the threshold and goes nuts again...any ideas on what i can use to try and tame my bass a bit, a compressor maybe? thanks!

What about your tone settings? and pickup selection back front or a mix of the 2?
Also where are you striking the string? You should really experiment with different positions and see what sounds you get. Maybe you strike the E string in a different position.
You shouldn't need effects to make a balanced sound.
Also what settings does your amp have and are the strings new/old?
Let me know how you get on.
