Not quite sure if this is what your looking for(especially since I don't own a digitech bp355 at this moment), but give this patch a try and see if it works out for you.

That's cool...glad it worked out for you. and that's pretty much the point of this thread other than posting patch ideas. you can pick out a patch you want and if desired make some adjustments to your liking.

Yes, obviously adjustments are always needed, as we don't have the same basses nor the same material (interfaces, amps, speakers etc...)

Could you please try to do a patch inspired by Marcus Miller sound?

You are very kind to do all this effort without having the hardware, so to help you remind some parameters, I've taken a screen shot of the editor, including Digi Comp (X min is 50Hz) and the amp's eq.
Remember that the EQ can be different for each amp on the same patch.

Here is the screen shot

(BTW this patch is inspired by one of yours, it's meant for humbucker pickup bass, and it has a pushed medium sound)

Thanks again :thumbsup:

Yeah sure thing. just glad the patch worked out for you. as for the marcus miller sound, I would assume he has a like a scooped slap bass sound. perhaps this patch might help.

Hi, I'm new here. I'm trying to get the Steve Harris sound with my Fender precision special deluxe (mim). Whatever I try, with the BP355, I don't get the bombastic mids. Anybody that can help me? Thanks! (sorry for my bad english, I'm coming from Holland ;-)
