Hi, since like half a year or so im playing in Church in Youth, ive come a long way and gotten better, but at the moment i struggle with some big Tone issues and i feel like thats the bit that is needed for me to improve atm...
Ive got an Ibanez SR300E, i know, not an Optimal Bass for Worship but its all i can afford atm since im a student, im playing with an Boss Compressor Pedal and an Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Drive DI which i dont generally use, just for the extra kick at the end when dynamically building something. Usually, i boost the bass, cut the mids, and boost the treble even a little bit more than the bass and have the neck pickup more loud than the bridge pickup. I also play on the Neck Pickup.
Right now my Bass Tone just feels flat, not warm at all, just grumpy and somewhat just old, but not in a nice way (I hope thats understandable) even though i change my strings all 3 months (to ernie ball roundwounds)
As for Worship Tone im dreaming of a punchy, warm, deep bass tone that is there and just builds to the whole band, not coming through the front or so, just being the bass, which i currently dont have.
What should i change?
Thanks for all answers,
